To understand Vedas one should know about meaning of word SRUTI

Sruti in Sanskrit means 'that which is heard.'

Sruti scriptures include the primary scriptures of Hinduismknown as the Vedas.

Thus the Vedas are the eternal truths that the Vedic seers,called Rishis, are said to have heard during their deepmeditations. The Vedas are not considered the works of thehuman mind, but an expression of what has been realized

through intuitive perception by Vedic rishis. As such, Vedas areconsidered of divine origin. The Vedic truths were orallyinherited by the Rishis to their disciples over thousands ofyears. Finally , these were compiled by Sage KrishnaDwepayan Vyas, popularly known as Ved Vyas, for the benefitof future generations.

What is Vedas?


9/39

Hindus believe that the Vedas were not written by

anyone (including God), but are eternally existing(apaurusheya). While many historians regard the

Vedas as some of the oldest surviving texts, they

estimate them to have been written down between

1500 BCE and 500 BCE.

What is Vedas?


10/39

The Vedas consist of several kinds of texts, all of whichdate back to ancient times.

The core is formed by the Mantras which represent

hymns, prayers, magic and ritual formulas, charms etc.

The hymns and prayers are addressed to a pantheon of

gods and a few goddesses important members of which

are Rudra, Varuna, Indra, Agni, etc.

The mantras are supplemented by texts regarding the

sacrificial rituals in which these mantras are used as

well as texts exploring the philosophical aspects of the

ritual tradition, narratives etc.

Essence of Vedas


11/39

The Vedas were compiled around the time of Krishna (c.

3500 B.C.), and even at that time were hardly understood.

Hence they are very ancient and only in recent times has

their spiritual import, like that of the other mystery

teachings of the ancient world, begun to be rediscoveredor appreciated even in India.

The Vedic truths were orally inherited by the rishis to

their disciples over thousands of years. Finally , these

were compiled by Sage Krishna Dwepayan Vyas,popularly known as Ved Vyas, for the benefit of future

generations.

When was Vedas rediscovered?

Upanishads-Another branch

of Vedas

The Upanishads are a continuation of the Vedicphilosophy, and were written between 800 and 400 B.C.They elaborate on how the soul (Atman) can be united

with the ultimate truth (Brahman

) throughcontemplation and mediation, as well as the doctrine ofKarma-- the cumulative effects of a persons' actions.

The word Upanishad consists of three parts:

Upa (near), Ni (down), and

Shad (sit).

'sitting near a teacher and receiving the secretteachings.'


18/39

Essence of Upanishad

The Upanishads more clearly set forth the prime Vedicdoctrines like Self-realization, yoga and meditation,karma and reincarnation, which were hidden or kept

veiled under the symbols of the older mystery religion.

The Upanishads became prevalent some centuriesbefore the time of Krishna and Buddha

Upanishad means Brahma-knowledge by whichignorance is loosened or destroyed.

Hindu sages developed six different systems ofphilosophy, called Darshanas, at different periods of time.

They are religious philosophical systems because their

foundation is in the Vedas. All the six systems are writtenin aphorisms (sutras).

The sutras, being very brief and terse, needed

explanatory notes, which were written later by other

scholars. For example, Shankaracharya, the famous

scholar wrote explanatory commentaries on Vyasas work

(known as Vedanta Darshan or Brahmasutra). These six

systems of philosophy are:

Darshans


25/39

6 Darshans

There are six Darshan Shastras called the sixschools of philosophy. They are:

(1) Poorva Mimansa by Sage Jaimini,

(2) Nyay by Sage Gautam, (3) Vaisheshik by Sage Kanad,

(4) Sankhya by Bhagwan Kapil,

(5) Yog by Sage Patanjali, and

(6) Uttar Mimansa (Brahm Sutra) by BhagwanVed Vyas.

All the six Darshan Shastras are in sutra form.

The Mahabharata and Ramayana are the national epics of

India.

The Mahabharata, attributed to the sage Vyasa, was written

down from 540 to 300 B.C. The Mahabharata tells the

legends of the Bharatas, a Vedic Aryan group.

The Ramayana, attributed to the poet Valmiki, was written

down during the first century A.D., although it is based on

oral traditions that go back six or seven centuries earlier.

The Ramayana is a moving love story with moral and

spiritual themes that has deep appeal in India to this day.

In addition, a key Hindu sacred text, the Bhagavad Gita, is

embedded in Book Six of the Mahabharata.

Old and New Scriptures

First writing was found on stones, then on leaves butslowly paper was invented.

In olden days the paper was made out of the pulp of

wood-a very lengthy process. All the litrature was handwritten by Rishis and Sages with the help of theirdisciples was called HASTAPRAT,the ink was made outof vegetables and fruit juice and pens were the stem ofthe trees like bamboo-or feather of birds like peacock,

called KALAMorKITTO.

Slowly the printers are invented and now we havecomputers to make our lives very easy.
