India is a land of many religions. The oldest religion in India is Hinduism. Many traditions and cultures are followed across the country. Some families believe in Vedas, which are the oldest form of scripture, and they look forward to sending their children to Veda patasala to learn Vedas.
One has to know our “Sanatana Dharma’, which our ancestors followed and attained Mukti.The original scriptures of Hindu teachings contain spiritual knowledge incorporating all aspects of life. Do you want to know what these original scriptures are? “Veda” means knowledge, wisdom, or vision.
The Vedas form the highest religious authority for all aspects of Hinduism.
The Vedas are not revealed for a particular section of persons /person. It is believed to have existed and was apprehended by sages in deep meditative states before c.1500 BCE.
These Vedas are rendered orally and passed from Guru to Shishya in the so-called Veda Patashala. Kings send their children to learn the Vedas from Gurus. For instance, Dasarath sent his two sons to Vishwamitra to learn the Vedas.
Pronunciation plays a major role in learning the Vedas from Gurus. They used to perform in front of the king’s courts.
The Vedas are therefore regarded as Shruti, Shruthi (what is heard), and Smrithi (what is remembered) and account for a key role in the Vedas.
