Sruti

Sruti is a term from Indian tradition that refers to sacred texts considered divine revelations, primarily the Vedas. These texts are believed to be heard or "revealed" by ancient sages through deep spiritual insight, rather than composed by human effort. Sruti forms the foundation of spiritual and philosophical knowledge in Hinduism, emphasizing their authority and timelessness. Unlike other scriptures, Sruti is regarded as directly arising from divine truth, serving as the ultimate source for religious teachings, rituals, and understanding of the universe.
