Book excerpt: The Samaveda is an ancient collection of Vedic Sanskrit hymns, which date back to late 2nd millennium BCE. It is the oldest existing Veda and consists of 1,549 verses. The Samaveda follows a metre that is different from other Vedas; it has 32 melodious chants that were composed over two thousand years ago by Lalita Vistara. These melodic chants are believed to have been used as part of ritual sacrifices in Hindu temples and homes. The contents of the Samveda consist of a variety of topics such as philosophy, knowledge, Dharma, devotion to gods and goddesses, Yajna (ritual fire sacrifice), worship rituals for arati or puja (worship) for various gods and goddesses, descriptions about 'Upanishads' (mystic secrets), social conduct, various medicinal plants etc. It is generally seen as a sourcebook for Indian philosophy, cultural values and ideas about our cosmos. This book offers a clear and concise understanding of the Samaveda, its verses, and the wisdom they impart. It is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to gain insight into this ancient text and its teachings. By delving into the Samveda, readers can gain a deeper appreciation of the spiritual and philosophical foundations of Hinduism and its enduring relevance to modern life.

This book seeks to provide a concise and comprehensive understanding of the Vedas. It is an invaluable source of knowledge, offering insight into the ancient culture and traditions of India. It is a unique collection of wisdom, providing a glimpse into the spiritual and philosophical beliefs of the past. The Vedas are a timeless source of inspiration, offering guidance and enlightenment to those who seek it. Here, I have attempted to provide a brief overview of the Vedas for basic understanding. The Vedas are a collection of ancient Indian texts, composed in Sanskrit, that are considered to be the oldest and most sacred scriptures of Hinduism. They are believed to have been composed by sages and seers over thousands of years, and are divided into four main categories: Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, and Atharvaveda. Each of these categories contains hymns, prayers, and rituals that are used in Hindu worship and religious ceremonies. The Vedas are also believed to contain spiritual and philosophical teachings that are still relevant today. Here, I have attempted to provide a brief overview of the Vedas for basic understanding.

Atharvaveda 978-1542464222. -- A single volume edition of all Vedas is also available: 978-1541294714 - - From the foreword: The Vedas (from the root vid, "to know," or "divine knowledge") are the most ancient of all the Hindu scriptures. There were originally three Vedas-the Laws of Manu always speaks of the three, as do the oldest (Mukhya) Upanishads-but a later work called the Atharvaveda has been added to these, to now constitute the fourth. The name Rigveda signifies "Veda of verses," from rig, a spoken stanza; Samaveda, the "Veda of chants," from saman, a song or chant; Yajurveda, the "Veda of sacrificial formulas," from yajus, a sacrificial text. The Atharvaveda derives its name from the sage Atharvan, who is represented as a Prajapati, the edlest son of Brahma, and who is said to have been the first to institute the fire-sacrifices. The complex nature of the Vedas and the array of texts associated with them may be briefly outlined as follows: "The Rig-Veda is the original work, the Yajur-Veda and Sama-Veda in their mantric portions are different arrangements of its hymns for special purposes. The Vedas are divided into two parts, the Mantra and Brahmana. The Mantra part is composed of suktas (hymns in verse); the Brahmana part consists of liturgical, ritualistic, exegetical, and mystic treatises in prose. The Mantra or verse portion is considered more ancient than the prose works; and the books in which the hymns are collected are called samhitas (collections). More or less closely connected with the Brahmanans (and in a few exceptional cases with the Mantra part) are two classes of treatises in prose and verse called Aranyaka and Upanishad. The Vedic writings are again divided into two great divisions, exoteric and esoteric, the former called the karma-kanda (the section of works) and the latter the jnana-kanda (section of wisdom)." (Encyclopedic Theosophical Glossary) The great antiquity of the Vedas is sufficiently proven by the fact that they are written in such an ancient form of Sanskrit, so different from the Sanskrit now used, that there is no other work like them in the literature of this "eldest sister" of all the known languages, as Prof. Max Muller calls it. Only the most learned of the Brahman Pundits can read the Vedas in their original. Furthermore, the Vedas cannot be viewed as singular works by singular authors, but rather as compilations, assembled over a great and unknown period of time. "Almost every hymn or division of a Veda is ascribed to various authors. It is generally believed that these subdivisions were revealed orally to the rishis or sages whose respective names they bear; hence the body of the Veda is known as sruti (what was heard) or divine revelation. The very names of these Vedic sages, such as Vasishtha, Visvamitra, and Narada, all of which belong to men born in far distant ages, shows that millennia must have elapsed between the different dates of their composition." (Encyclopedic Theosophical Glossary) It is generally agreed that the Vedas were finally arranged and compiled around fourteen centuries before our era; but this interferes in no way with their great antiquity, as they are acknowledged to have been long taught and passed down orally, perhaps for thousands of years, perhaps for far longer, before being finally compiled and recorded (the latter is traditionally said to have occurred on the shores of Lake Manasarovara, beyond the Himalayas).

Book excerpt: This is a volume in the series, The Secret History of the Vedas. This series is an original, idiosyncratic look at the Rg Veda and Vedas as a whole. The purpose of this series, The Secret History of the Vedas, is to unravel and discover the true meaning of the Vedic deities and to reveal the hidden meaning of the Vedas. There are three great themes in the Vedic dharma --- Existence, Bliss, and Consciousness. This volume is an examination of Consciousness, as concentrated in the fire of the Vedic force of Agni, the third prong in the Vedic Dharma. This is a comprehensive, in-depth, examination of the premier Vedic deity, Agni, and his many forms. Agni is Fire. Agni has many fires. That Fire is examined thoroughly and exhaustively, referencing citations from the Vedas, Brahmanas, and Upanishads. They all describe the Fires of Agni in all its many forms. This book explains it all and shows just how comprehensive is the reach of this Vedic force and concerns the “aspects” of Agni, those specific fires which define and provide the inner essence of this mighty Vedic force. The “manifestations” of Agni is how he makes his presence in this material world. This book is a complete description of both, the inner essence of Agni and how he appears in our world.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oldenberg made a distinction between the original text of the Rgveda the form in which the rsis composed and recited their hymns and the `traditional text` which in a fixed form, has been handed down to us by the oral tradition. Oldenberg made a thorough critical study of all aspects of the traditional text in order to present to the world of scholars the original text in the form and arrangement discovered by him. The materials that are now being published in this volume were intended by Oldenberg to serve as a Preface to his proposed edition of the Rgveda.
