What is Vedic?

The “Vedic” is from “veda”, the Sanskrit word, which means “pure knowledge” and refers to the ancient literature of India.

The Vedas were not composed by humans, but were instead awared by the ancient rishis directly from their revered Creator, Lord Brahma.

The oral tradition was eventually transcribed into four collections: Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Atharva

The Rig Veda is included astral deities and the Naksatra (Lunar constellations).

The Atharva Veda is the first mention of astrology as it is now recognized.

The Atharva Veda has been transcribed by 500 BCE.
