Read - Scientific Knowledge in Vedas
The Veda in its real and original meaning is "knowledge". All the kowledge collected by the ancient Indian sages was compiled in the four books and that is why they are called the Vedas. These four Vedas, Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda and Atharva Veda are very ancient. Their dates cannot be easily fixed. As the time flew by, exact meanings of the texts became unintelligible. Hence, Brahmanas were written to explain the original Vedas. Still later, Aranyakas were written and then the Upanisads. All these with many other compositions are called the Vedic literature.
