Hindu Scriptures

Hindu Scriptures is a body of sacred texts originating in ancient India that, as the primary source of religious authority, philosophical doctrine, and ritual practice within the diverse traditions of Hinduism, distinguishes itself through its categorization into revealed works (śruti) and remembered tradition (smṛti), composed in Sanskrit and transmitted orally and in written form across millennia.
