Vedas are the word of God; they are the source book of all the tenets of Hinduism Almost every mantra in Vedas have their respective Rishis who was said to be the one who realized that fact. Even today we have all the details of each and every Rishi - the seer. The treasure of knowledge thus brought about is today called as VEDAS. Vedas are the basis of Sanatan Dharma. Just as today there is great respect towards science, and therefore the moment someone says that this is what science says then the whole way of looking at something changes, so also there was a time when the people of India looked up to Vedas. It commanded so much respect that to say something is written in Vedas was tantamount to taking that as real & truth.
Sri Veda Vyasji is said to have compiled and organized the various mantras in what is today known as Vedas. On the basis of its chanting methodologies the mantras were compiled in four volumes called the Four Vedas. The Rig, Sama, Yajur and Atharvana Vedas. The followers of Sanatan Dharma believe that Vedas have been revealed by God himself at thebeginning of creation, but the western scholars believe that Rig Vedas was revealed somewhere in between 5000 to 10000 years BC, and it thus becomes the oldest available literature to man.
From the point of view of the subject matter of Vedas they have three distinct parts. They are Mantra Section, Brahmana Section, and the final Upanishad Section.
The Mantra Section comprises the revelations of the great Rishis,
The Brahmana Section deals with the application of mantras for our day to day use; they thus deal with elaborate rituals, do's & don’ts etc, while
The last section of Upanishad deals with the philosophy of the Vedas. Upanishads do not prescribe any do's & don’ts, they rather ask a person to just relax and thoroughly understand the things of life deeply & thoroughly. Upanishads are in the form of dialogue between a teacher and his disciple.
They being the last section of the Vedas they are also called as the - Vedanta.
