Rig Veda: The First Scripture Of Hinduism
The Rig Veda is the first scripture of Hinduism. It is also called Rigveda or Veda-Vyasa. The word “Rig” means “praise” and “Veda” means knowledge. So, the Rig Veda is a collection of mantras (or hymns) which are prayers to God and the ‘Pancha Bhutani’ — the five forces: earth (Prithvi), water (jalam), wind (Vayu), fire (Agni) and sky (Akash). It has 1028 mantras or hymns in its 10 books known as Mandalas. These Mandalas are divided into two parts:
Mandala 1 to 7: Mantras for Agni, Varuna, Indra, Soma, Rudra and Vishnu.
Mandalas 8 to 10: Mantras for Indra, Brhaspati and Soma
