A History Of Vedic Literature (Brief Survey and Study)

Knowledge is the primary factor that enables humans to make innovations in every domain of their activity empowering them to be more capable, superior and successful in life. Great feats and uncharted heights can be obtained through the gift of knowledge, but accomplishment of knowledge is not easy in itself. In ancient India, our ancestors emphasized on the importance of knowledge and also revealed the means and methods to acquire it. They invented prolific Vedic knowledge systems for all ages and for the entire mankind and guided us through their experiences and thoughts vividly reflecting them in several texts of the Vedic literature. Today, we find acceptance of the Vedic views worldwide by intellectuals through the teachings of Yoga, Vedanta, Ayurveda, and Upanishads.

The Vedic knowledge comes to us from the dawn of history, though its vision is beyond time and space. The great Vedic Psis were masters of spiritual and outwardly powers. They were seers of the highest natural order, working with cosmic powers. They visualized universal truths and revealed them in the mantras. Learning of 'Veda' means learning of India's over 5,000 years old traditicins, illuminated by the ancient seers and sages who had extraordinary vision and intense experience of consciousness to understand universe as well as the inner Self.

Vedas, the oldest sacred literature of India, are known as the books of highest knowledge which are in the Vedic language. The word 'Veda' means 'knowledge' because it is derived from the Sanskrit root vid', to know.
