Synopsis

Hinduism is the most ancient continuously practiced religion in the world. It has the most amount of sacred material than any other religion. Scripture is a religious document. It spells out the spiritual goal and the path to reach it.
The sacred Hindu scriptures are placed into three categories. Shruti (Śruti), Smriti (Smṛti), and a subsidiary category. All these scriptures are composed in the Sanskrit language.
Shruti scriptures are the Vedas which consist of the Samhita (Saṁhitā) parts of Rigveda (Ṛgveda), Yajurveda, Sāmaveda, and Atharvaveda, and the appendages of the Vedas, namely, Brahmana texts (Brāhmaṇa texts), Aranyaka texts (Āraṇyakas), and the Upanishad texts (Upaniṣad texts). Shruti scriptures are the most sacred Hindu scriptures.
This book has been revised in November 2024.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Hinduism is unique in the sense that, not only it is the most ancient continuously practiced religion, but also has the most amount of sacred material than any other religion. The sacred Hindu scriptures are placed into three categories, namely Shruti, Smriti, and a subsidiary category. Shruti means what is heard. They contain the ever present divine revelations. Shruti scriptures are the Vedas which consist of the samhita parts of Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, and Atharvaveda, and the appendages of the Vedas, namely, Brahmanas, Aranyakas, and the Upanishads. Shruti texts are the most sacred Hindu scriptures. A brief review of the Shruti scriptures is given in this present book. In this fifth edition book, a new article has been included, and many of the articles have been modified and improved.
