In the epics and Puranas we find newer Gods, newer materials and newer rituals betraying their age. So there can’t be a big difference in the age of the Vedas. The same Gods we find in the oldest Rik Veda are praised here. The language and style of this Veda show that they are later compositions. Of the four Vedas Rik, Yajur, Sama and Atharvana Veda, the most useful Veda is the Atharvana Veda.Ītharva Veda has got 20 Kandas (sections). Seers heard when they tuned into the Vedic frequencies. If you tune into the exact frequency, you hear the broadcast. Like radio frequencies they are always in the air.
Like Newton’s Laws of Motion and Einstein’s Theory of Relativity existed even before they discovered, Vedic mantras (hymns) existed even before the seers ‘heard’ them. But Hindus believe that they are beyond time and human dating. Scholars date them between 1500 BC and 6000 BC. Vedas are the oldest religious literature in the world.
