What are Vedas?

The word Veda comes from "Vid", which literally means "To Know", whereas Vidya means knowledge. Vedas are the
lifestyle and its knowledge because,
in the universe of Vedas, the whole universe of knowledge comes in.
Ananta Vei Vedah - अनंता वै वेदा:
The word "Ananta" means "Infinitive", Vei means those, so the sentence Ananta Vei Vedah - अनंता वै वेदा: means The Knowledge of Vedas is infinitive

There are 4 Vedas:

• Rig Veda

• Samaveda

• Yajurveda

• Atharvaveda

Vedas are the best preparation for life. If someone is able to understand the Vedas can learn lifestyle. The knowledge in this word is available in 2 forms:

• What you understand

• What you do not understand

The ratio of what we do not understand is always larger than what we already understand.
The Vedas are written in pure Sanskrit language which is an ancient language as known as the mother of all languages on the planet.

The Vedas are "Shruti", which means heard.
