77. Vedas
The Vedas
There are four Vedas, the Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda and Atharvaveda. The Vedas
are the primary texts of Hinduism. They also had a vast influence on Buddhism,
Jainism, and Sikhism. Traditionally the text of the Vedas was coeval with the universe.
Scholars have determined that the Rig Veda, the oldest of the four Vedas, was
composed about 1500 B.C., and codified about 600 B.C. It is unknown when it was
finally committed to writing, but this probably was at some point after 300 B.C.
The Vedas contain hymns, incantations, and rituals from ancient India. Along with the
Book of the Dead, the Enuma Elish, the I Ching, and the Avesta, they are among the
most ancient religious texts still in existence. Besides their spiritual value, they also
give a unique view of everyday life in India four thousand years ago. The Vedas are also
the most ancient extensive texts in an Indo-European language, and as such are
invaluable in the study of comparative linguistics.

was written down much later than the rest of the
Vedas, about 200 B.C.; it may have been composed
about 1000 B.C.

80. Samhitas
The Vedas have been divided into four styles of texts – the Samhitas (mantras and
benedictions), the Brahmanas (text on rituals, ceremonies, sacrifices and symbolic-
sacrifices), the Aranyakas (commentaries on rituals, ceremonies and sacrifices), and
the Upanishads (text discussing meditation, philosophy and spiritual
knowledge).The Samhitas are sometimes identified as karma-khanda (कमर् खण्ड,
action/ritual-related section), while the Upanishads are identified as jnana-
khanda (ज्ञान खण्ड, knowledge/spirituality-related section)
The Aranyakas and Brahmanas are variously classified, sometimes as the
ceremonial karma-khanda, other times (or parts of them) as the jnana-khanda.
The Vedic Samhitas were chanted during ceremonies and rituals, and parts of it
remain the oldest living part of Hindu tradition.
The Aranyakas (/ɑːˈrʌnjəkə/; Sanskrit: āraṇyaka आरण्यक) constitutes the
philosophy behind ritual sacrifice of the ancient Hindu sacred texts,
the Vedas.They typically represent the later sections of Vedas, and are one of
many layers of the Vedic texts. The other parts of Vedas are
the Samhitas (benedictions, hymns), Brahmanas (commentary), and
the Upanishads (spirituality and abstract philosophy).

81. Upanishads
The Upanishads are a continuation of the Vedic philosophy, and were
written between 800 and 400 B.C. They elaborate on how the soul (Atman)
can be united with the ultimate truth (Brahman) through contemplation and
mediation, as well as the doctrine of Karma-- the cumulative effects of a
persons' actions.

82. Upanishads
Among the most important literature in the history of Indian religions and culture, the
Upanishads played an important role in the development of spiritual ideas in ancient India,
marking a transition from Vedic ritualism to new ideas and institutions. Of all Vedic literature, the
Upanishads alone are widely known, and their central ideas are at the spiritual core of Hinduism.
The Upanishads are commonly referred to as Vedānta. Vedanta has been interpreted as the "last
chapters, parts of the Veda" and alternatively as "object, the highest purpose of the Veda". The
concepts of Brahman (ultimate reality) and Ātman (soul, self) are central ideas in all of the
Upanishads and "know that you are the Ātman" is their thematic focus. Along with
the Bhagavad Gita and the Brahmasutra, the mukhya Upanishads (known collectively as
the Prasthanatrayi) provide a foundation for the several later schools of Vedanta, among them,
two influential monistic schools of Hinduism
He who has highest Bhakti of Deva (God),
just like his Deva, so for his Guru (teacher),
To him who is high-minded,
these teachings will be illuminating.

83. Brahmanas
Shakha
schools
Each Veda has one or more of its own Brahmanas, and each Brahmana is generally
associated with a particular Shakha or Vedic school. They are a secondary layer or
classification of Sanskrit texts embedded within each Veda, often explain and
instruct Brahmins on the performance of Vedic rituals.The Brahmanas are particularly
noted for their instructions on the proper performance of rituals, as well as explanations on
the symbolic importance of sacred words and ritual actions. Academics state that these
instructions insist on exact pronunciation (accent), chhandas (छन्दः, meters), precise pitch,
with coordinated movement of hand and fingers – that is, perfect delivery

Puranas
The Puranas are post-Vedic texts which typically contain a complete narrative of the history of the Universe from creation to destruction, genealogies
of the kings, heroes and demigods, and descriptions of Hindu cosmology and geography. There are 17 or 18 canonical Puranas, divided into three
categories, each named after a deity: Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. There are also many other works termed Purana, known as 'Upapuranas.'
The Vishnu Purana
by H.H. Wilson [1840]
