Well, we have all grown up watching Ramayana, Mahabharat, Krishna Leela, and so on. They taught us that humanity is the only religion. They all belong to the Vedic period, which occupies the most prominent place in Indian history. The Vedic culture occupied a proud place among the cultures of the world and added a brilliant chapter to Indian history. 


Read our previous history weekend post: Tales of Continents Origin and Rising of Asian culture and tradition.




Emerged of Vedic Culture and Civilization in India



Let's ride back to 1800 BCE, A new culture and civilization emerged in India with the coming of Aryans. How do we know about it? The key is simple there are 4 Vedas (sacred canonical texts) written between 1000- 500 BC.

The Rigveda, The Samveda, The Yajurveda and The Atharvaveda. 



The Rigveda


The Rigveda is the oldest and dedicated to God: Agni, Varuna, and Indra. It also covers the visible and invisible world, and some aspects of physical sciences as chemistry, physics, mathematics, astronomy, cosmology, etc. 


The Aryans divided into groups called a tribe. The cattle breeders also have known Jenna's visa. The Vedic King or Rajan, the leader of the tribe. In early Vedic society, women are highly respected. Even also chose their husbands through a ceremony called Swayamvar.


In the early Vedic period, there are three social classes based on their work. Brahma or priests who prayed to God and, share knowledge among the people. Kshatriya or warriors, the protector of the tribe. Daas who served their Aryan masters.


They are very creative and brilliant in weaving, carpentry, leather architecture, and metalwork.


Sun, Wind, and Rains are their Goddess and gods.


Goddess, they prayed: Aditi is the goddess of cosmos.

Usha is the goddess of dawn. And Aranyani is the goddess of the forest.
