Generally, the culture and tradition of a country mainly depends on its historical background. Vedic culture too had some essence in the Indian subcontinent due to which it truly can be referred as one of the oldest religious pantheons of the World and as the oldest of India. The following article generally a lucid and concise history of the Vedic Age. The article mainly discusses as how certain religious aspects helped in the formation of a greater religious pantheon of Ancient Indian age. It further shows the importance of various literatures that were composed at that time and how they helped in the making of the very essence of the greater Vedic Age or the Vedic culture. The Vedic Age actually reflects the beliefs and practices of a religious aristocracy. The article shows the various Gods or Devas as well as the demons or the Rakshas that clearly find some significant space in the most valuable literature of that Age, the Ṛg-Veda. There is a detailed reference about the most important aspect of the Vedic Age i.e. the Yajña or the sacrificial ritual which was actually religious ceremony for making offerings to the invisible super powers or the Devas like Agni, Indra, Varuna and many more. A STUDY OF VEDISM The cultural heritage of India is to be found primarily in her philosophy and religion; and the source of her philosophical ideas and religious beliefs lie in the Vedas. Each civilization seems to have a genius for some particular aspect of life. Ancient Greece was devoted to art, Rome to politics. But while these civilizations, and others pursuing similar ideas, perished and form now but dead chapters of history, while India stood like a 'Rock of Ages', weathering many a fierce storm, because of her foundations are eternal values of philosophy and religions, and not just the shifting sands of the secular arts of beauty and governance. THE RELIGIOUS TEACHINGS OF THE VEDAS The Hindus traces the original source of their cultural life to the Vedas which they hold to be divine truth revealed from time to time to the rsis (seers) in their supra normal consciousness. Their religions, philosophy, ritualistic practices, civic conduct, and even social relations are guided by certain codes which are known as Smritis, but all of them are based upon the sacred sanctions of Vedic authority. No schools of philosophy will be recognized as orthodox, if it is not supported by the authority of Vedas. The whole life of Hindus, from conception up to the last funeral rite, has to be sanctified by the recitations of Vedic mantras. Thus it can be conceived how profound has been the influence of the Vedas upon this great and most ancient of the civilized nations of the world. TRADITIONAL VIEWS OF THE VEDAS The word 'veda' literally means knowledge and supreme knowledge too. But secondarily it applied to the Vedic literature, comprising, Saṁhitās, Brāhmaņas, Āraņyakas, and Upanishads books which considered being direct revelations from god, embodying the supreme truth that could not be gained by any effort of human mind. The Vedas are called sruti, either because they were directly heard from god or as the traditions goes of studying and getting them by heat is by hearing them recited by the preceptor. According to the Vișņu purāņa, the original Veda, first revealed by the god to the ŗșiș, consisted Ṛg-Veda, Yajur-Veda, Sāma-Veda of one hundred thousand verses, and had four divisions. With the efflux of time these divisions got mixed up and many portions of Vedas felt into obscurity.

The present study focused on the Indian Vedic Science and Mathematics Based on Education. Veda is a Sanskrit word that means 'Knowledge'. Vedic Mathematics is the name given to the ancient system of Indian Mathematics. In the Vedic System, difficult problems or huge sums can often be solved immediately by the Vedic method. According to Krishna Tirtha, the sutras and other accessory content were found after years of solitary study of the Vedas a set of sacred ancient Hindu scriptures in a forest. Vedic Mathematics' General Techniques and Specific Techniques, numerical calculations can be done very fast. Vedic science unravels all the mysteries of the world and Vedic science does not believe in any mythology it is great science. Consciousness-Based Education is a theory and practice based on a systematic science and technology of consciousness that provides full experience, systematic development, and comprehensive understanding of the full range of human consciousness. Consciousness is traditionally understood as the continuous flow of thoughts and perceptions that engages the mind. The methodology of the study is qualitative and interview methods are applied. The study is a mixed type involving interpretative, analytical study of documents, interview and study both primary & secondary sources, like books, university news, expert opinion, articles, journals, thesis and websites, etc.

Popularly Hinduism is believed to be the world’s oldest living religion. This claim is based on a continuous reverence to the oldest strata of religious authority within the Hindu traditions, the Vedic corpus, which began to be composed more than three thousand years ago, around 1750–1200 BCE. The Vedas have been considered by many as the philosophical cornerstone of the Brahmanical traditions (āstika); even previous to the colonial construction of the concept of “Hinduism.” However, what can be pieced together from the Vedic texts is very different from contemporary Hindu religious practices, beliefs, social norms and political realities. This book presents the results of a study of the traditional education and training of Brahmins through the traditional system of education called gurukula as observed in 25 contemporary Vedic schools across the state of Maharasthra. This system of education aims to teach Brahmin males how to properly recite, memorize and ultimately embody the Veda. This book combines insights from ethnographic and textual analysis to unravel how the recitation of the Vedic texts and the Vedic traditions, as well as the identity of the traditional Brahmin in general, are transmitted from one generation to the next in contemporary India.
