Vedas are the four main pillars and primary scriptures of Hinduism. The word 'Veda' is derived from the Sanskrit root word 'Vid' which means 'to know' i.e. knowledge. Vedas are also called 'Shruti' because they have been transmitted from one generation to another through oral speaking and listening.
There are unique opinions about the entire period of Vedic literature. The origin of Vedas is believed to be thousands of years ago. Initially it was spread by the Shruti tradition, while in terms of writing it is divided into two main parts, the Pre-Vedic period and the Post-Vedic period.
On the basis of the manuscripts found so far, Rigveda is considered to be pre-Vedic. Whereas the remaining Vedas, Samhitas, Brahmanas, Aranyakas as well as Upanishads are considered to be of the later Vedic period. Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda and Atharvaveda are the four Vedas.
Vedas and literature related to Vedas is called Vedic literature which is divided into seven sections, Mantrasamhita, Brahman texts, Aranyaka texts, Upanishads, Sutra texts, Pratishakhya and Sequeshani.
