Importance of Vedas.
The Vedas are considered to be one of the most sacred scriptures of the Hindu religion. They are claimed to be among the world’s oldest scriptures. Veda is said to be the treasure vault to wisdom and knowledge. It is noted that Vedas are eternal and vibrate in the outer dimensions of the world of Brahmans.
They are said to be the point of creation. The term ‘Veda’ means knowledge, which is the ulterior idea of the existence of humanity. Vedas manifest the cause, function, and response of human existence in a way that promotes liberation or Nirvana.The Vedas are a collection of thousands of hymns, which are nothing but divine revelation. These revelations were in the form of hymns, which were passed on to their disciplines orally. Vedas traced its roots to a period when there was a single universal language and no scripts.
Importance of Puranas.
Indian Puranas teach Mythology, cosmogony, astronomy, geography, grammar and many more that adds to the significance of Puranas. The name signifies traditional old story. It is considered that these narratives have been compiled by Krishna-dvaipayana who was also the arranger of the Vedas and the Mahabharata. Its origination has checked the rise of Buddhism considerably by stimulating the worship of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva. In the Puranas they are represented as rival gods.
This department of Sanskrit literature also teaches anatomy, medicine and genealogies of kings. However the main objective was evidently the exaltation of Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva in their different manifestations. At times they are called a fifth Veda. They also impart Vedic doctrines to women and the lower caste men, who are unable to comprehend the complicated works.
