1 Chapter 2 Veda and the Vedas CHAPTER SUMMARY The word Veda is derived from the Sanskrit root vid, which means to know. It refers to knowledge of the highest sort, made available to all through the revelations of ancient seers. The Vedas are texts that were written between the years 1500 and 1000 B.C.E. This historical era is called the Vedic Age. The Vedas were organized into four great collections. The earliest and the most significant is the Rig Veda. The Rig Veda is a collection of hymns and chants associated with sacrifices (yajna) to the various gods within Hindu mythology (known as the Vedic pantheon). The men and women of early Vedic times yearned for security and meaning in a world that is often violent and unpredictable, which is reflected in the Vedas. Also apparent in the Vedas is the notion that the universe began as the One and eventually would return to the primal state from which it had emerged. The Doctrine of Rita explains that there is a natural law that is immanent throughout all of creation. Even the gods do not exercise their powers capriciously. The gods, like all other creatures, must act in accord with the universal order of rita. Rita is the grand unifying Order of Nature. In the concept of rita, the rishis gave form to the idea of a rational order that underlies and unifies all of Nature. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Discuss the importance of Vedic rituals and recall their essential elements. List the principal gods of the Vedic pantheon. Differentiate between Veda and Vedas. Explain the tenets of the Doctrine of Rita. TEACHING TIPS You may want to pull actual verses from the Vedas that exemplify the notions presented in this chapter (i.e. being at one with nature, the natural order, the importance of sacrifice). You can divide students into groups and assign each a Veda to read and analyze. To help students learn about the Vedic Pantheon, locate images (online, or in other books) of each of the major Hindu gods presented in the text to show to students. You could also quiz students by reading the characteristics/symbols associated with each god and have students guess which one you are talking about. Engage students in a comparative exercise between the Vedas and other religious texts (the Koran, the Bible, the Torah, etc.). In what ways are these texts similar to or different from one another in terms of style, tone, content, etc.? LECTURE GUIDE AND ASSET CORRELATION Various discussion prompts have been provided for in-class use. These prompts are developed to assist you in starting open conversation with students about key topics of the chapter. The below outline indicates where these prompts may be most useful/effective in overall student understanding. 7

What are some of the themes explored in the Rig Veda? How does this Veda reflect the time period in which it was written? 2. What is soma? How was it used in Vedic rituals? Can you think of practices in other religions that are similar? 3. How did the authors of the Vedas attempt to give order and meaning to life? Is the desire to give order and meaning to life unique to Hinduism or does it appear in other religions and philosophies as well? How? 4. Who are some of the major gods in the Vedic Pantheon? What is the significance of the symbols associated with each of the gods? 5. How does the Doctrine of Rita relate to the notion of rational order?
