The term "Veda" is a Sanskrit word meaning "knowledge." Vedic philosophy, of which there are six systems, is an oral tradition, said to be divine in origin and related directly to the priests, or Brahmans, who passed its principles down as an oral tradition. The Vedas date back to as far as 4000 BCE and were believed to have been written down between the first and second centuries of our Common Era. Vedic philosophy is the cornerstone of the practice of Hinduism in all of its forms.
