Vedic Culture

Vedic Culture refers to the ancient spiritual and cultural practices originating from the Vedas, the oldest sacred texts of Hinduism, composed in ancient India around 1500 to 500 BCE. This culture emphasized rituals, philosophy, and social order, including concepts like Dharma (duty) and Karma (action). Vedic society was structured into four classes, known as varnas: priests (Brahmins), warriors (Kshatriyas), traders (Vaishyas), and laborers (Shudras). The Vedic period also laid the groundwork for much of Indian philosophy, religion, and social practices that are still influential today. It represents a time of significant intellectual and spiritual development in early Indian history.
