WORLD RELIGIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -What is the Veda? The Aryans called their most sacred text Veda, meaning the ‘knowledge’. It was believed to have arisen from the infallible ‘hearing’ (śruti), by ancient seers, of the sacred deposit of words whose recitation and contemplation bring stability and wellbeing to both the natural and human worlds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hindus consider the Vedas to be timeless revelation, apauruṣeya, which means “not of a man, superhuman” and “impersonal, authorless". The knowledge in the Vedas is believed in Hinduism to be eternal, uncreated, neither authored by human nor by divine source, but seen, heard and transmitted by sages.

Detailed explanation-3: -The four Vedas are the Rigveda (Knowledge of the Verses), the Yajurveda, the Samaveda, and the Atharvaveda. The first three Vedas-Rig, Yajur, and Sama-are known as the trayi-vidya (“threefold knowledge”).
