One of the Vedic mantras that forms part of the daily worship of the Hindus is the Gayatri Mantra (Rigveda, 3, 62, 10). Its main theme is: "We contemplate and adore the knowledge and power of the World-Creator who infuses the intellectual faculties in us."


Yajur Veda

the Yajurveda 'Samhita', or 'compilation', contains the liturgy (mantras) needed to perform the sacrifices of the religion of the Vedic period, and the added Brahmana and Shrautasutra add information on the interpretation and on the details of their performance.
Yajur - Veda gives a practical shape to the verses of the Rig-Veda, and helps actual performance of the Yadnyas by using the hymns of the Rig-Veda.


Sam Veda

The Sam-Veda sets to melodious music, the mantras of the Rig-Veda. This Veda defines the seven swaras (notes). Sam Veda forms the basis of the Bharatiya classical music.


Atharva Veda

According to tradition, the Atharvaveda was mainly composed by two groups of rishis known as the Atharvanas and the Angirasa, hence its oldest name is Ātharvāgirasa

The Atharvaveda is considered by many to be as dark and secret knowledge, pertaining to the spirits and the afterlife. In the Mahabharata, when the Pandavas are exiled to the forests for thirteen years, Bhima, being frustrated, suggests to Yudhisthira that they consult the Atharvaveda, and "shrink time, and hereby compress thirteen years to thirteen days..."Subjects like: agriculture, healing of diseases are discussed in this Veda.
