What are Vedas?

Wednesday January 17, 2007
They are arguably the "mother of all scriptures." They form the bedrock of the universal religion or “Sanatana Dharma” that all Hindus follow. The Vedas have guided our religious direction for ages and will continue to do so for generations to come. And they will forever remain the most comprehensive and universal of all ancient scriptures.

Das,

Any society requires a “constitution” to survive, be it Stalinism, Maoism, Capitalism etc.. Vedas serve a similar purpose they are the “Constitution” for entire creation.
