Vedas

The Vedas, considered the oldest records of human existence, hold a profound place in Hindu philosophy and spiritual practice. According to tradition, the Vedas were created by Shri Brahma ji, and from his heart emerged the first sages: Agni, Vayu, Angira, and Aditya Rishi. These sages contributed to the formation of the Vedas, starting with the Rigveda, Yajurveda, and Samaveda, and eventually leading to the Atharvaveda, which was attributed to Atharva Rishi.

The Vedas are traditionally divided into six parts:

  • Education (Shiksha): This pertains to the pronunciation and intonation of the Vedic hymns.
  • Heart (Chandas): This is related to the meter and structure of the verses.
  • Grammar (Vyakarana): This deals with the rules of grammar and linguistic analysis.
  • Astrology (Jyotisha): This involves the study of celestial bodies and their influence on human affairs.
  • Chandas (Prosody): This is the study of poetic meters used in the Vedas.
  • Niruktam (Etymology): This is the explanation of difficult Vedic words.

Astrology, a significant part of Vedic tradition, encompasses the study of the universe, including the sun, planets, and stars, under the concept of "Grahnaam Adhinsthm Jivanam," which means "the basis of life is the planet." Through astrology, the future can be forecasted by analyzing the positions and movements of these celestial bodies.
