Vedas are the ancient hymns of the Hindu religion in the Sanskrit language. They are also known as Shruthi because they were learnt by listening.
Shruthi or Shravana is a Sanskrit word for listening. These hymns were passed on from generation to generation by just listening and learning. The ancient form of education, the "Gurukula" system was conducive to such learning.
It is believed that the vedas have not been composed by any man. Rather all the Vedas were perceptions by learned sages from the syllable OM. Since the OM is known as the sound of the universe and since thoughts are actually energy waves flowing through ether, with the right tuning of mind, these perceptions were possible.
There are 4 vedas
1> Rig Veda
2> Yajur Veda
3> Atharvana Veda
4> Samaveda
