Essays on the Vedas
The Vedas are the main source of Hindu beliefs and
practices. Their knowledge is considered the standard knowledge
in Hinduism, which means any truth is valid in Hinduism only if
it is affirmed by the Vedas. This is the tradition for the last
4000 years or even more. For Hindus the Vedas are inviolable, eternal,
and revealed by God for the benefit of the mankind. They are considered
sruti, the heard ones, or apauruseya, not man-made. Hindu philosophy
and spirituality, including the knowledge of various yogas, are
drawn from the Upanishads, which form the end part of the Vedas.
They speak about Brahman and Atman and their role in creation. The
