The Vedas are the holiest and first religious texts ever know to the world. They are the source of integral knowledge, science, tradition, and culture of our ancestors. The Vedas are known as oral compilations of knowledge preserved from time immemorial. They are recognized not ImageImage
only as scriptures but also as the source of Indian culture and human civilization. The word Veda means knowledge. The word comes from the Sanskrit root 'vid', which means 'to know' or to understand. It does not refer to any particular literary work but relates to a vast corpus
of literature, produced over many centuries and passed on orally from one generation to another.
Vedas are also called Shruti that means "something that is heard," i.e. the voice of God that was heard by the rishis in ancient times and spread in the world after listening,
through the Guru Shishya Parampara. Apart from these, other texts have been considered as Smriti - which means the texts made of human memory and intellect which are considered to be human descriptions and interpretations of Shruti itself.
The Vedas are described in the Rigveda as eternal and Apaurusheya.

There are four Vedas in Shruti:
1. Rigveda
2. Yajurveda
3. Samaveda
4. Atharva Veda

Out of the 114 Chakras, two of them are outside the physical body. In reality, we can only work on 108 chakras from the remaining 112 ImageImageImageImage

When talking about the Calendar, we usually remember the Gregorian month names but as a true Sanatani, we should also remember the Sanatan names of the months. Vikram Samvat, also known as the Vikrami calendar, is the historical Sanatan calendar used in the Indian subcontinent.
It is the official calendar of Nepal.
In India, it is used in several states. The traditional Vikram Samvat calendar, as used in India, uses lunar months and solar sidereal years. Several ancient and medieval inscriptions used the Vikram Samvat. Although it was reportedly named
after the legendary king Vikramaditya, Samvatsara in short ‘Samvat ’is a Sanskrit term for ‘year’. King Vikramaditya of Ujjain started Vikram Samvat.
