In the intricate tapestry of Hindu Dharma, where every profound text finds its author, the enigma of the Vedas stands unparalleled. Revered as the divine essence of ancient wisdom, these sacred scriptures defy conventional authorship, shrouded in the mystique of eternity. Legends whisper that the Vedas transcended the boundaries of time, emerging even before the dawn of creation itself. They embody not mere words, but cosmic vibrations, intricately woven into the fabric of the universe. It is a belief etched in the very soul of Hindu spirituality that these verses, with their infinite depth, were bestowed upon humanity by the divine hands of the cosmos. To the ordinary mortal, only a fraction of this celestial knowledge is revealed, for the Vedas are a boundless reservoir of enlightenment, their depths fathomed only by the rare souls blessed with divine insight.

Seconded. What a nightmare this article is. "There are four Vedas: the Rigveda, the Yajurveda, the Samaveda and the Atharvaveda." and then in the next section, "There are four "Vedic" Samhitas: the Rig-Veda, Yajur-Veda, Sama-Veda and Atharva-Veda". Are the "four types of embedded texts" also part of "a veda"?
It seems to me that referring to "Vedic texts" is very different from "Vedas" and even "the Vedas". It would be nice to have an expert clean this up and if needed make qualifying statements like "The term Veda may be used to refer to..." Alphonsoore (talk) 06:29, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The symbol that Himanshukodwani is referring to as the Vedas is not indices-able. A close approximation to it in Western terms would be “indeterminate immediate,” “Sign,” or “Dasein”; not to be confused with the dualistic systems of exist/real or mind/body. 2600:1700:77A1:6170:A9B3:78CE:699D:1976 (talk) 15:23, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hinduism Vs Historical Vedic Religion vs Brahamanism
What is behind the practice of completely ignoring oral traditions. For example, the Vedas were memorized thousands of generations before the invention of the written word, some experts put the origin of the Vedas 4,000BC to 40,000BC, possibly earlier. Hindu arose from the various religious traditions of the upper Indus River, "Indus" == "Hindus." Shakyamuni Buddha's sermons were memorized by his three attendants and passed down through rote memorization until writing became a popular sport. Even today, 7 years of the monastic curriculum is spent memorizing and then analyzing word-for-word. Lineage Lamas like the Dalai Lama receive teachings by memorization. Each teaching, such as those on dalailama.com, was memorized, some taking over six hours to recite. He said it took him a week to learn the 20-hour teaching he gave at Lehigh University on Tsong Kapa's Treatise. He mentions one lineage lama who memorized the entire 200 books of Wisdom Sutras. Buddha is said to have incarnated to correct some of the errors that crept in to the Vedas over millennia, such as no-self and no omnipotent being. Mind training leads to omniscience. There are teachings that have never been written down. Do they not exist because only the written word exists? Hpfeil (talk) 13:32, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
