How did the Vedas in Hinduism come into existence? Where to read?
The Vedas are Śruti, which means "that which is heard". We Hindus believe that from time immemorial, sages known as Dhrishtas have, during a state of Tapasya, heard sacred verses directly from the gods. (1/4)

In the Dwapara Yuga (the age before the one we're currently in), these verses were compiled by a sage named Krishna Dwaipayana Veda Vyasa (or Vyasa for short) into a set of four books we call the Vedas. (Technically Vyasa only compiled the first three books - Rig, Yajur, and Sama
- while the Atharvana Veda is attributed to the sages Angiras and Atharvan.)
As the words of the Vedas are believed to be divine in origin, they are held to be the foremost authority of the Hindu religion.
