THIS ARTICLE IS BY MY PATTU MARUMAAN.

The Rigveda contains the oldest part of the corpus, and consists of 1028 hymns. The Samaveda is mostly a rearrangement of the Rigveda for musical rendering. The Yajurveda gives sacrificial prayers and the Atharvaveda gives charms, incantations and magical formulae. In addition to these there are some stray secular material, such as legends.

The next category of texts are the Brahmanas. These are ritual texts that describe in detail the sacrifices in which the Mantras were to be used, as well as comment on the meaning of the sacrificial ritual. Each of the Brahmanas is associated with one of the Samhitas. The Brahmanas may either form separate texts, or in the case of the Black Yajur Veda, can be partly integrated into the text of the Samhita. The most important of the Brahmanas is the Shatapatha Brahmana of the White Yajur Veda.

The Aranyakas and Upanishads are theological and philosophical works. They are mystic or spiritual interpretations of the Vedas, and are considered their putative end and essence, and thus known as Vedanta ("the end of the Vedas"). They often form part of the Brahmanas (e.g. the Brhadaranyaka Upanishad). They are the basis of the Vedanta school of Darsana

Bhagavath Seva

Ezhudinavar foto kizhey!

(a) Bhagavath Seva or service directly to Narayana in His Vigraha, Salagrama or Avatara forms. (b) BhAgavatha Seva or service to His devotees depending upon which devotee we are put in touch with by Narayana. It is not for us to judge who is or who is not a devotee until we are put in a situation where a stand has to be taken Social Service falls within this category. (c) The third and highest category is Acharya Seva or service to Acharya according to His instructions. due to accept this, I have read in some collections.
