Vedic Studies is an academic field that focuses on the ancient texts known as the Vedas, which are foundational scriptures of Hinduism. These texts, composed in Sanskrit, encompass a wide range of topics, including philosophy, rituals, and hymns. Scholars analyze the Vedas to understand their historical context, linguistic features, and cultural significance. The study of the Vedas also includes exploring related texts, such as the Upanishads and Brahmanas, which provide deeper insights into spiritual and philosophical concepts. Vedic Studies often intersects with disciplines like Indology, Comparative Religion, and Philosophy, contributing to a broader understanding of ancient Indian civilization.
