Hence it is difficult to say when the earliest part(s) of Vedas came into existence. Upon gathering all the teachings passed on from the Acharyas (Teachers) to their Sishya (Students) from Kingdom to Kingdom, he compiled them into 4 standard structures Rig, Sama, Yajur and Atharvana are the four vedas Except that they were compiled by Veda Vyasa, the date of origin is not traceable. The Vedas were compiled by Krishna during the Dvapara Yuga with the goal to come up with a de-facto standard of education. They also contain worldly and divine concepts in them. The Vedas are not meant merely for spiritual contemplation. The Vedas are certainly overjoyed to see one individual liberated but they are even happier to see ninety-nine people making spiritual progress. This it is cumulative merit (samashti punya). Due to smooth functioning of the cycle of Dharmacharan”>Righteousness (Dharma) and the Final Liberation society becomes happy. The resultant benefit of a happy society is the Final Liberation. The Vedas are meant primarily to bestow the entire creation with happiness rather than to attain the Final Liberation (Moksha). The motive of the Vedas is to help man to remain within the limitations of the Vedas despite having lost the spiritual emotion that ‘He is I’ by retaining awareness of the soul principle or at least to prevent him from becoming unhappy in the materialistic world. This philosophy makes Hinduism a very tolerant religion, always ready to accept new ideas from other cultures. While it might surprise people how a book can have no beginning or end, the ancient Rishis who wrote these accepted that the complete knowledge of the Universe could never fit in any book, and so there would always be new things to discover.
Any form of Knowledge acquired is considered as a Veda whereby it has no beginning or end. The Vedas are the most ancient books in the World, and they are the Foundation of Hinduism. While many historians regard the Vedas as some of the oldest surviving texts in the world, they estimate them to have been written down between 2500 and 500 BCE. Many Hindus believe that the Vedas were not written by anyone including Ishwar (the term used for God among the Hindus), but are eternally existing (apauruseya). They are considered to be one of the integral scriptural foundations of Hinduism.
The Vedas are an extremely large and comprehensive scripture that form the core of Hinduism.
