There are four "Vedic" Samhitas: the Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda and Atharva Veda, most of which are available in several recensions (śākhā). In some contexts, the term Veda is used to refer only to these Samhitas, the collection of mantras.
A Veda is a collection of poems or hymns composed in archaic Sanskrit by Indo-European-speaking peoples who lived in northwest India during the 2nd millennium BCE.
What Does “Veda” Mean? The word “Veda” comes from the Sanskrit root “vid”, which means to know. Thus, Veda translates to “knowledge.” But this is not ordinary knowledge—it is divine wisdom, received during deep meditative states and passed down through generations with extreme precision.
The term veda means “knowledge” in that they are thought to contain the fundamental knowledge relating to the underlying cause of, function of, and personal response to existence. They are considered among the oldest, if not the oldest, religious works in the world.
Vedic chanting has been declared by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity. Veda Studies follows the tradition’s strict rigour as taught by pundits in South India, and makes these teachings online and accessible to all committed seekers around the world.
