About This Product:
Rig Veda is the most popular among all Vedas; today we will share some useful information related to Rigveda which every Indian must know. In fact, the Rig Veda is the oldest book known to humanity. The Rig Veda has been described as having the origin of divine knowledge. If we consider the Vedic collection (the four Vedas), the Rigveda stands out to be the largest and the most important text in this Vedic collection. The Rig Veda consists of Sanskrit hymns with commentaries on liturgy, ritual and mystical exegesis. The core part of Rig Veda is known as Rig-Veda Samhita. It contains 1028 hymns (Sukta) in about 10,600 verses. It is organized into ten books known as “Mandalas.” Most of these contain praises of specific deities. They also deal with philosophical questions and bring out the virtue of Dana (charity) in society. They even take other metaphysical issues in their hymns. It is believed that the bulk of Rig-Veda Samhita was composed as early as 1500 BC. Mandalas 2 – 7 form the oldest part of the Rig-Veda Samhita and account for 38% of the entire text. Each of them has been attributed to an individual Rishi. They were transmitted within the lineage of the Rishi family or his students. It deals with a particular deity such as Agni and Indra. The 8th and the 9th Mandalas account for 15% and 9% respectively. The 1st and the 10th Mandalas are considered the longest books and account for 37% of the text. Each Mandala contains hymns or Sukta that are intended for various rituals. The Sukta, in turn, consists of individual stanzas (units of verse) called Pada. Overall, the Rigveda deals with many Gods. However, there are some who get much attention. Most of the hymns are dedicated to three top-rated Gods such as Indra (250 hymns), Agni (200 hymns), and Soma (over 100 hymns). The Vedas describe Indra as the head of the ancient Hindu pantheon. He has been described as the God of War.
