Rigveda [DP]

RIGVEDA

da literally means knowledge in Sanskrit. The term was derived when the ancient seers thought of putting their experiences in an organised manner. It can't be said in the written form because it is certain that in that hoary past the device of writing had not been invented'. Nevertheless, the four Vedas, viz. Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda and Atharva Veda, are known to contain the pristine gems of Indian wisdom. They appear universally important and relevant because they constitute one of the first record of the human awakened experiences. They can be said to be the very fount of Indian wisdom. It is their status, apart from the contents, that made them universally popular It is to highlight their extreme significance that we are undertaking this project of revealing before the curious readers their Sookta or aphorism wise translation.
