VEDA (Vlog Every Day in April)

Good morning Rebels, and welcome back to my life.

Today I want to talk to you about the Vedas or Veda, also known as the “Vedic Hymns.”

The Veda are among the oldest religious texts we know of, and have the double distinction of being the earliest literary record of Indo-Aryan civilization, and are the most sacred books of India and the foundations of Hinduism.

The Veda comprise a series of hymns, recitations and teachings which not only provide a philosophy of life, humanity and the mind, but provide rituals and ceremonies for everything in life from birth to marriage to death and everything in between.

They originated in India somewhere between 1700-1100 BCE, as far as we can tell, and have been used by the people of India ever since, and considering how many people live in India, that makes them kind of a big deal.
