The Vedas are a large body of ancient sacred texts that form the foundation of Hindu philosophy, spirituality, and religious practices. Composed in Sanskrit, they are some of the oldest scriptures in the world, traditionally divided into four main collections: Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda, and Atharvaveda. Each Veda consists of four parts: Samhitas (hymns), Brahmanas (ritual instructions), Aranyakas (theological discussions), and Upanishads (philosophical texts exploring the nature of reality and the self). The Vedas are considered authoritative texts in Hinduism and play a crucial role in shaping its rituals and beliefs.
