The Vedas Or Books Of Holy Knowledge is a book written by Charles F. Horne. It is a comprehensive guide to the ancient Hindu scriptures known as the Vedas. The Vedas are considered to be the oldest and most sacred texts of Hinduism, and contain a wealth of knowledge about the religion, philosophy, and culture of ancient India. The book is divided into four main sections, each of which covers a different aspect of the Vedas. The first section provides an overview of the Vedas, including their history, structure, and content. The second section focuses on the Rigveda, the oldest of the four Vedas, and includes a detailed analysis of its hymns and rituals. The third section covers the Yajurveda and the Samaveda, which are the other two main Vedas. This section includes information on their content, structure, and significance. The fourth and final section of the book is a discussion of the Atharvaveda, which is a collection of hymns and spells that deal with everyday life and practical matters.Throughout the book, Horne provides detailed explanations of the Vedas, including their symbolism, mythology, and cultural significance. He also discusses the historical and philosophical context in which the Vedas were written, and how they have influenced Hinduism and Indian culture over the centuries.Overall, The Vedas Or Books Of Holy Knowledge is an authoritative and comprehensive guide to the Vedas, and is an essential resource for anyone interested in Hinduism, Indian culture, or ancient religious texts.THIS 120 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Sacred Books and Early Literature of the East: India and Brahmanism, by Charles F.
