Query: Hinduism
Revelations... Vedas... Names of the hinduism revelations!
Kaivalya
Jnani:
The Hindu Revelations... the words of God invoked by wise human beings in
the initial stages when the mankind was still taking its roots are known as Vedas. There are four Vedas in
all. The Rig Veda, the Sama Veda, the Yajur Veda and the Atharva Veda! All the four Vedas are related to
different topics concerning humanity.
The Vedas are the essence of all wisdom contained in the Cosmos. The
knower of Vedas knows everything worth knowing in whole Cosmos. The knower of Vedas becomes an enlightened
one. The knower of Vedas finally reaches the stage of salvation (aka moksha in Hinduism) and liberates
forever from the cycle of birth and
death.
The knower of Vedas after leaving the bodily human form finds a place in
the kingdom of God (aka Vaikunth in Hinduism).
All the four Vedas are very voluminous documents... difficult for a human being to digest in a lifetime. The
wisdom of the Vedas is supposed to be understood in many lifetime's. It may take from several to millions of years
of earthly abode before one can truly understand the wisdom contained in all the four Vedas.
For this prime reason, Lord Krishna... the Avatar of the era (God
manifesting human form), who came about 3600 years ago from now reduced this voluminous work to a single
book.
Now the mankind need not indulge in reading all the four Vedas! The complete wisdom of the four Vedas was available
as the doctrine of Bhagavad Gita... dictated by Lord Krishna to Arjuna in the battlefield of
Mahabharata.
This single doctrine of Bhagavad Gita... the 700 shlokas (versus)...
contains everything knowable in whole Cosmos. The knower of Bhagavad Gita becomes enlightened within his
lifetime and finally gains salvation (moksha). More on vedas.
