How do hinus use the Vedas?

Hindus use the Vedas as foundational texts that guide their spiritual practices, rituals, and philosophical understanding. The Vedas, comprising four main collections—Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda, and Atharvaveda—provide hymns, incantations, and instructions for various ceremonies and sacrifices. They are also a source of knowledge regarding cosmology, ethics, and the nature of the divine. Many Hindus study the Vedas to deepen their understanding of dharma (righteousness) and their relationship with the universe.
