The Vedic Civilization

The Vedic Civilization spans between c. 1500 – 500 BCE. Followed by the Harappan civilization, a great civilization that has brought changes to the lives of the entire human beings happened. It is none other than the Vedic Culture. The Vedic culture and civilization can be regarded as the epitome of the civilization which called for a drastic change in human culture. The Vedic manuscripts are the immediate births of the reconstruction of the Vedic Civilization. Even though not entirely, Archeological materials also have supported the augmentation of the texts. Vedic texts are acknowledged to be penned by the Indo-Aryans.

The orators of a subgroup of the Indo-Iranian annex of the Indo-European lineage of tongues are referred to as Indo-Aryans. Composers of Rig Veda composers represent them as Arya. The term Arya is terminology derived from the combination of the words “Ar” which means to cultivate. This is also bearing another meaning which can be used to denote the kin or comrade. The word had yet another meaning in Sanskrit, which is used to denote the newcomers or can also be called the people from the noble family.

    Many of the theories are associated with the birth of the Vedic Civilization and Aryans. Their migration, settlement, and invasion in the subcontinent of India need to be learned to get a proper understanding of the same. The Central Asian Theory is the most important among them which was propagated by a German scholar of comparative languages named Prof. Max Muller. As per the Central Asian Theory, the Aryan race initially haled in Central Asia. The comparative study of the “Avesta” and Vedas proves that there is not only the words but also the concept relationship existing between them. The European theory was proposed by  Sir William Jones, Morgan, Giles, and Shroeder. As per the proposed theory, Aryans were descendants of Europe. They claimed that the Aryan race inhabited the places in Europe and later voyaged to the places in India.The disciples of this hypothesis confirmed the similitude of Sanskrit with the European vocabularies.

    Bal Gangadhar Tilak, who has propagated the theory of North Pole/Arctic theory claimed that the Aryans originated in the Northern Arctic region. He remarked that the Rig Veda incorporates explicit connections to a zone where extreme chilliness and extended daytimes and gloamings of six months are estimated. Swami Dayanand Saraswati propagated the Tibet theory according to which Tibet is the origin place of the Aryans. The Indian theory was propagated by Sri D.S Trivedi Ganga Nath Jha, Dr. A.C Dass, and Sri L.D Kalla. Aryans were the denizens of the Sapta Sindhu according to this theory. The sacrificial ceremonies of the Vedic Aryans suggest their Indian heritage.

    The river accolades in the Rig Veda cite the expressions of the rivers of this province. The Himalayan region has a close resemblance through the mentioning of the flora and fauna. As we consider the language, the Vedic language is in close connection with the Indian Languages. Some Aweren immigrants came to the Indian Subcontinents as the immigrants of the region. They covered Punjab and Western Uttar Pradesh, Eastern Afghanistan. The Rig Veda mentions the river Indus (Sindhus) and its five tributaries. The five tributaries are the Ravi (Parushni), Satluj (Sutudri)Jhelum (Vitasta), Beas (Vipasa), and Chenab (Askini). the settlement of the Aryans in India is called the Seven Rivers.

    The Early Vedic or The Rigvedic Civilization

    Early Vedic or The Rigvedic Civilisation ranges between c. 1500 – 1000 BCE. The Early Vedic Literature retains the Rig Veda Samhita and a group of texts which can be called the family books as they are believed to be composed by the families of clairvoyant lyricists like Vishvamitra, Gritsamada, Atri, Vasishtha, Bharadvaja.

    Later Vedic Literature emerged in the year c. 1000 – 500 BCE which includes the1, 8, 9, & 10 books of the Rig Veda Samhita, the Samhitas of the Yajur, and the Atharva Vedas Sama Veda, and the Aranyakas, Brahmanas & Upanishads affixed to the 4 Vedas.

    Vedic Literature

    Vedic literature is a considerable powerful seed of knowledge concerning the Vedic civilization. The phrase “Veda” implies wisdom.

It revolves around the concept of the core of an individual’s self residing in the soul. Neither the body nor the mind plays an essential role here. But the quintessential part is played by the soul.

    Vedanta

    The Vedanta demonstrates the definitive ambition of the Vedas and embodies the destiny of the Vedas. It reproaches renunciations, and traditions and indicates the last grade of the Vedic period.
