In the Mahabharata, the creation of Vedas is credited to Brahma, the Supreme Creator. Some schools of thought even assert that the Vedas are eternal creations, mainly in the Mimasa tradition. According to the Vedanta and Mimamsa schools of philosophy, the Vedas are considered Svatah Pramana (In Sanskrit, meaning “self-evident means of knowledge”). Still, the knowledge was discovered by intense meditation and sadhana (Yogic practice) by ancient sages, who then handed them down through generations by word of mouth.Īlso, the Vedic philosophy regards the Vedas as Apaurusheya, meaning, not of a man or impersonal. The tales tell humans did not compose the revered compositions of the Vedas. The surviving ones now date only somewhere between the 11th and 14th centuries, mostly due to the transient nature of the manuscript materials the birch barks or palm leaves. However, no definite date can be ascribed to the composition of the Vedas as the generational descend of the texts in Vedic periods was by literary oral tradition, which was then a precise and elaborate technique. The Rig Veda, the oldest of 4 Vedas, was authored in and around 1600 BCE. Its written form origin dates back to 1600 BCE. Origin of VedasĪs the records point out, the Vedas (word of Sanskrit origin, translating to ‘Knowledge’ or ‘To Know’) originated in the Indian Sub-continent. The ideas, teachings, and practices described in the Vedas formed the basis for the six major schools of Hindu philosophy – Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Samkhya, Yoga, Mimamsa, and Vedanta. The term Veda as a common noun means “knowledge.” What you acquire or understand is knowledge. Veda means “Knowledge.” It is a Sanskrit word from the root “Vid,” which means finding, knowing, acquiring, or understanding.
