Book Description
The Samaveda, or Veda of Holy Songs, third in the usual order of enumeration of the three Vedas, ranks next in sanctity and liturgical importance to the Rgveda or Veda of Recited praise. Its Sanhita, or metrical portion, consists chiefly of hymns to be chanted by the Udgatar priests at the performance of those important sacrifices in which the juice of the Soma plant, clarified and mixed with milk and other ingredients, was offered in libation to various deities. The Collection is made up of hymns, portions of hymns, and detached verses, taken mainly from the Rgveda, transposed and re-arranged, without reference to their original order, to suit the religious ceremonies in which they were to be employed. In these compiled hymns there are frequent variations, of more or less importance, from the text of the Rgveda as we now possess it which variations, although in some cases they are apparently explanatory, seem in others to be older and more original than the readings of the Rgveda. In singing, the verses are still further altered by prolongation, repetition and insertion of syllables, and various modulations, rests, and other modifications prescribed, for the guidance of the officiating priests, in the Ganas or Song-books. Two of these manuals, the Gramageyagdna, or Congregational, and the Aranyagana or Forest Song-Book, follow the order of the verses of part I, of the Sanhita, and two others, the Uhagana, the Uhyagana, of Part II. This part is less disjointed than part I, and is generally arranged in triplets whose first verse is often the repetition of a verse that has occurred in part I. There is no clue to the date of the compilation of the Samaveda Hymns, nor has the compiler's name been handed down to us. Such a manual was unnecessary in the early times when the Aryans first came into India, but was required for guidance and use in the complicated ritual elaborated by the invaders after their expansion and settlement in their new homes.

Book Description
Hinduism has an extraordi1 Inary wealth of scriptures but people have no time to read the religious books like Vedas; Puranas; Upanishads etc. Therefore; an attempt has been made to have a single volume that forms the foundation of our civilisation's heritage to seek inspiration and a sense of direction in our lives. The Vedas prescribe some regulations and if someone follows them; one will be free from material entanglement. The Puranas; each named after a deity Brahma; Vishnu and Shiva; are the post vedic texts which contain a complete narrative of the history on the Universe from creation to destruction. The Upanishads represent the essence of the Vedas. The Smritis explain and elaborate the Vedas; making them understandable and more meaningful to the general population. The Bhagwad Gita is in the form of a dialogue between Arjuna and Lord Krishna who teaches him to do his duty. The Mahabharata is not only an epic but tells the tale of heroic people; containing a code of life; a philosophy of social and ethical relations. The Ramcharitamanas provides the guidelines for an ideal family; an ideal king and an ideal mother. This book gives a brief about holy books of Hinduisma must read for every Hindu and Bharatiya.

Book Description
The Samaveda is an ancient collection of Vedic Sanskrit hymns, which date back to late 2nd millennium BCE. It is the oldest existing Veda and consists of 1,549 verses. The Samaveda follows a metre that is different from other Vedas; it has 32 melodious chants that were composed over two thousand years ago by Lalita Vistara. These melodic chants are believed to have been used as part of ritual sacrifices in Hindu temples and homes. The contents of the Samveda consist of a variety of topics such as philosophy, knowledge, Dharma, devotion to gods and goddesses, Yajna (ritual fire sacrifice), worship rituals for arati or puja (worship) for various gods and goddesses, descriptions about 'Upanishads' (mystic secrets), social conduct, various medicinal plants etc. It is generally seen as a sourcebook for Indian philosophy, cultural values and ideas about our cosmos. This book offers a clear and concise understanding of the Samaveda, its verses, and the wisdom they impart. It is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to gain insight into this ancient text and its teachings. By delving into the Samveda, readers can gain a deeper appreciation of the spiritual and philosophical foundations of Hinduism and its enduring relevance to modern life.

Book Description
The Samveda from saman "melody" and veda "knowledge", is the third of the four Vedas, the ancient core scriptures of Hinduism. Ranking next in sanctity and liturgical importance to the Rigveda, it consists of a collection (samhita) of hymns, portions of hymns, and detached verses, most of which are taken from the Rigveda. The Samveda hymns are sung by Vedic priests as they sacrifice the juice of the Soma plant, offering it in libation to various deities. While its earliest parts are believed to date from as early as 1700 BCE (the Rigvedic period), the existing compilation dates from the post-Rigvedic Mantra period of Vedic Sanskrit, c. 1200 or 1000 BCE, in the early Kuru Kingdom, roughly contemporary with the Atharvaveda and the Yajurveda. While the Samveda is full of wisdom for the student of Hinduism, one should keep in mind that the English version of the Samveda does not contain the important syllables (stobha), as well as various modulations, rests and other modifications prescribed in the song-books which give these hymns vibrational and frequency energies. While much can be learned from reading Samveda, the full power of these prayers cannot be realized until the return of the Sankrit language, a goal we are dedicated to work toward.
