The origin of the Vedas dates back approximately 25,000 years.
Through the discipline of phonetics and the oral tradition, the mantras of
the Vedas have been preserved in their original form. These mantras were
memorized to perform rituals such as yajnas. However, their meanings
were not passed down through explanation, leading to the loss of
understanding over time. As a result, the meanings intended by the
composers of the Vedic hymns have been forgotten. In the present day,
interpreting these meanings is a formidable challenge. Some mantras
remain entirely obscure, while others can be interpreted in multiple
ways. These diverse interpretations often lead to debates among scholars
about the correct meaning.
