The Vedas are one of mankind's oldest scriptures considered by Hindus to be a direct revelation of God. There are four main sections of the Vedas, the Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda and the Atharva Veda. While these books are part of Hindu religious culture they also contain a vast amount of material on Science, Culture, Medicine among other subjects in addition to Hindu religious rituals.
