The Four Vedas In Pdf5/7/2021
The core scriptures of Hinduism are the four Vedas: Rig, Yajur, Sama, and Atharvana.Each of the four Vedas has four parts: Samhitas, Brahmanas, Aranyakas, and Upanishads.Yet usually when you see a book called Rig Veda, it just means the Rig Veda Samhita.Thats what I intend to remedy with this document; this is the complete Rig Veda with Samhita, Brahmanas, Aranyaka, and Upanishad portions.
One more thing: each Veda comes in multiple Shakhas or recensions. The Rig Veda used to have 21 Shakhas, but now only two Shakhas survive: the Bashala Shakha and the Sakala Shakha. What is presented here is the Sakala Shakhas version of the Rig Veda. ![]() The Aitareya Upanishad is contained in the Aitareya Aranyaka.) I would have made it in the Bashkala Shakha as well, by combining the Bashkala Shakhas version of the Rig Veda Samhita with the Kaushitaki Brahmana and Shankhayana Aranyaka of the Rig Veda, but as far as I know theres never been an English translation of the Bashakala Shakhas version of the Rig Veda Samhita. By the way, if youre interested in this sort of thing you should check out the site Hinduism Stack Exchange.
