The Vedas (वेद or véda), which means knowledge or wisdom, form the oldest of Sanskrit literature and are considered as the originating text of Hinduism. They are supposed to have been directly revealed, and thus are called shruti, श्रुति (i.e. what is heard). Vedic chants are recited at prayers, religious functions and auspicious occasions.
Vedas are divided in four parts, three of which are related to the performance of yajna:
- the Rig veda, containing hymns to be recited by the host or chief priest;
- the Yajur veda, containing hymns to be recited by the adhvaryu or officiating priest;
- the Sāma veda, containing hymns to be chanted by the udgatra, another class of priest.
- The fourth, the Atharva Veda, rarely used in rituals, is a collection of incantations, stories, predictions, and apotropaic charms often associated with healing, magical powers, afterlife etc.

પ્રણામ.
शत-शत प्रणाम । में रहूँ या ना रहूँ, ये लोग भी रहे ना रहे, पर उन्होंने यह जो प्रदान किया है वह आधुनिक टेक्नोलॉजी की सहायता से अमर बन गया है । हम रहे ना रहे, हमारा वेदिक साहित्य अमर है । जो खोजी इस में सागर में अंदर उतरेगा उसको मोती (ज्ञान) अवश्य मिलेंगे । हा, वेदिक साहित्य मात्र पठन या गान से ज्ञान प्रदान नहीं करेगा, इसके लिये मनन करना पडेगा । जितना मनन / चिंतन करेंगे मंत्रों के गूढार्थ सामने आने लगेंगे । यह ज्ञान सनातन है जो मात्र आर्यों के लिए नहीं किन्तु समग्र मानवजाति के लिये है । फिर एक बार, शत शत प्रणाम ।
I have heard these Veda with translation - meanings of all these VEDAs sloks on someone else website about few years ago and I can not find that site anymore.
Is it possible if you could launch Veda's sloks with their meninges either in Hindi, Gujarati or English this will really help more to mankind to understand VEDAs.
Thanks.
