| | The Vedas and Upanishads |
 | | The vision of the Veda Samhitas is to be considered as an outward panegyric or encomium poured on God as manifest in this vision of the cosmos. | | | The Veda Samhitas address their prayers to gods like Indra, Varuna, Mitra, Surya, Aryama, and such nomenclatures are common in these sacred scriptures. | | | That is to say, divinities, gods or angels are present in the hearts, in the core of the being of everything, though you may call it animate or inanimate, organic or inorganic, as the case may be. |

| | Shankara - the Genius |
| | The Samhitas of the Vedas are spontaneous hymns and prayers offered to God in His multifaceted manifestation as this cosmos. | | | This is a slightly posterior period to that of the exuberance of the Veda Samhita Mantras wherein there was only a spontaneous spiritual outpouring of devotion to the One on account of Its having been recognised in realisation, in direct experience. | | | So, from the spiritual realisation and mystical experience of the sages of the Veda Samhitas, we came down to a worship and inner adoration of the multiplicity of Gods. |

| | Vaishnava Samhitas (from Hinduism) -- Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust! |
| | Vaikhanasa Samhitas (collections of the Vaishnava school of Vaikhanasas, who were originally ascetics) seem to have embodied the original temple manuals for the Bhagavatas (devotees), which by the 11th or 12th century had become supplanted by the Pañcaratra Samhitas (collections of the Vaishnava school of Pañcaratra—“the System of the Five Nights”). | | | The philosophy of the latter is largely a matter of cosmogony, greatly inspired by both the Samkhya and yoga philosophies. | | | More results on "Vaishnava Samhitas (from Hinduism)" when you join. |

| | A Tribute to Hinduism |
| | The Samhitas are hymns addressed to gods representing the forces of nature, followed by rites and sacrifices to propitiate those gods. | | | It grows in search of this truth through the Brahmanas and the Aranyakas and ultimately in the Upanishads, that truth is arrived at and declared to the world. | | | In the Samhitas, the Vedic literature starts with a passion for the truth — ‘truth in clay, truth in iron’. |

| | The Vedas |
| | The passages of the Vedas were eventually written in Sanskrit, we believe, near the end of the third century BC, and primarily consist of four collections called the Rig-Veda, the Sama-Veda, the Yajur-Veda, and the Atharva-Veda. | | | Collectively, these are referred to as the Samhitas. | | | The first three Samhitas were used in the Vedic period by the priestly class as ritual handbooks. |

| | A Short History of Religious and Philosophic Thought in India by Swami Krishnananda |
| | It is an important aspect in the interpretation of the Vedas to regard them as a single body of scriptural lore, of which the Upanishads form the consummation. | | | The Isa, Katha and the Svetasvatara Upanishads have verses that embody some of the important themes of the Bhagavadgita, which, on the whole, manifests the spirit of God descended into the field of action. | | | We have, for example, a statement on the nature of the universal Virat in a single verse of the Mundaka Upanishad, which may itself be said to be an inspiration after the Purushasukta of the Samhitas. |

| | The Brhma sutras say” janma dasya yatah' ie Brhman alone is responsible for the creation, sustainance and final destroying of the universe- that is why he is called god because he has trifold functions- generation, operation and destruction) and their familes and their avatars (incarnations) taking the central stage. | | | But in truth, the core part of Vedas consists of only Samhitas, though it is now being acknowledged that they consists of Aranyakas, Brahmanas and Upanishads apart from Samhitas.(`Mantra Brahmana yor Veda namadheyah'- It is the anthology of mantras (samhitas) and Aranyakas which go by the name Veda- the true knowledge) | | | The Samhitas are totally five since Yajur Veda has two parts - Krshna Yajur samhita and Sukla Yajur samhita. |
