The Vedas are some of the oldest known texts of Sanskrit literature. The Vedas are four – the Rigveda, the Yajurveda, the Samaveda, and the Atharvaveda. Each Veda is divided into sections of Samhitas, Aranyakas, Brahmanas and Upanishads. The series of texts are believed to have been composed by relying on sruti or auditory memory and not by a single person. The Vedas have been considered by many sects of the Hindu community as the supreme authoritative text, and the knowledge embodied in the texts has been inculcated in our lives through a variety of sources. On that note, take a look at some of these enlightening quotes from the Vedas in Hindi we have compiled for you.
