Slide4Divine Discourse 31 July 1996
Sages and seers, in their state of deep contemplation, received the knowledge of the Vedas directly from Brahman. Initially, the Veda was one. “Veda is one (Ekam Veda).”
Later, Sage Vyasa classified this knowledge into three Vedas, namely, the Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, and Sama Veda, with the objective of establishing great ideals in human life through the teachings of the Vedas.
The fourth Veda, Atharvana Veda, was added later. These four Vedas are now being practised and propagated.
9 names of Vedas – The first one is Sruti. What does it mean? Because the Vedas were received by sages (rishis) through hearing in a state of deep meditation, they are called Sruti
, meaning orally transmitted sacred knowledge. In those days, there was no paper, no books, and no printing machines. Vedic knowledge was imparted to disciples by the guru, by word of mouth. Hence, the Vedas were called Anusrava (that which is heard repeatedly). The third name is Trayee (meaning three), the fourth is Aamnaya (sacred tradition handed down by repetition), the fifth Samamnaya
(similar), the sixth Chhandas (hymns, guide), the seventh Swadhyaya (self-learning), the eighth Nigama, and the ninth Agama. They are called Nigama and Agama because the Vedas are nothing but the inhalation and exhalation of the Divine.
The Vedas are related to man’s life in this phenomenal world. They deal with duality. Every Veda has three divisions: Brahmanas, Aranyakas, and Upanishads.
