The Vedas are holy writings from ancient India and are among the oldest sacred texts, of any religion, dating from 1500 BCE.[1] They consist of readings, incantations, spells, hymns, and formulas for priests to read.
You should probably resist the urge to say "Darth" in front of the name.
There are four main Vedic texts:
- Rigveda
- Yajurveda
- Samaveda
- Atharvaveda
The Rigveda is among the first known sources of agnostic writing. The Nasadiya Sukta[2] raises rational doubts concerning the philosophical problems with the notion of the Universe being created.
