The Vedic Tradition refers to the ancient spiritual and philosophical practices originating from the Vedas, the oldest sacred texts of Hinduism. These texts, composed in Sanskrit, encompass hymns, rituals, and philosophical discussions that form the foundation of various aspects of Indian culture, including religion, art, and science. Central to the Vedic Tradition is the concept of dharma, which signifies duty and moral order. The tradition emphasizes the importance of rituals, meditation, and the pursuit of knowledge, influencing various schools of thought and practices, such as yoga and Vedanta, that continue to be relevant in contemporary spiritual practices.
