VEDAS & THE VEDIC AGE

Most of what historians know about the Aryans comes from the Vedas. In the Vedas, Aryans are described as fierce warriors who rode chariots during battles. These warriors were nomads but soon turned to a more permanent farming way of life.

The Vedas are the oldest scriptures of Hinduism that originated in India. It contains hymns and rituals from Ancient India. These texts teach us a lot about the Aryans and their religion. There are four different Vedas:

- Rig Veda: Wisdom of the Verses
- Sama Veda: Wisdom of the Chants
- Yajur Veda: Wisdom of the Sacrificial Formulas
- Atharva Veda: Wisdom of the Atharvan Priests
