Vedas have influenced ancient Indian society greatly and have become a crucial part in the forming of the Hindu dharma. Although the knowledge the Vedas held was always there, Rishi Vyasa compiled the divine knowledge into four writings and passed them orally for thousands of years. These were composed in Sanskrit around 1500 and 1000 BCE. It is around 300 BCE that these religious writings took the current form.
