The Indian Mythology is the body of stories that is associated with Indian Culture. My mind was fascinated by different stories told to me by my Grandfather. He explained me about certain texts being part of Indian mythology According to Indian Mythology " Vedas " are the earliest texts known to Indians. Vedas are the collection of praises or hymns for the Aryan gods also known as "DEVAS" in India to make them happy so that it could bring them wealth and good fortune. The exact origin of Vedas is still disputed. These Vedas are composed in Vedic sanskrit.
These hymns are used to praise gods like Indra, Agni, Surya , Varuna, Vayu which are the personification of the natural elements like Thunder , Fire ,Sun,Water,Wind
The Vedas are further divided into 4 categories :
1. RIG VEDA (Collection of praises)
2. SAMA VEDA (Collection of melodies)
3. YAJUR VEDA (Collection of sacrifical rituals)
4. ATHRVA VEDA (Collection of Rishi)
