Rig Veda or ‘Rigveda’ means praise/verse of knowledge. It is counted among the four canonical sacred texts of Hinduism known as the Vedas. The others are Yajur Veda or Yahurveda, Sama Veda and Atharva Veda. The Rig Veda is the oldest of them. It consists of 1,028 Vedic Sanskrit hymns and 10,600 verses in all, organized into ten books. Here the books are translated into English and collected in one PDF-file. We have a lot of other Hindu scriptures here on the site, do a search. Here is the first hymn from the Rig Veda:

HYMN I Agni

1 I Laud Agni, the chosen Priest, God, minister of sacrifice,
The hotar, lavishest of wealth.
2 Worthy is Agni to be praised by living as by ancient seers.
He shall bring. hitherward the Gods.
3 Through Agni man obtaineth wealth, yea, plenty waxing day by day,
Most rich in heroes, glorious.
4 Agni, the perfect sacrifice which thou encompassest about
Verily goeth to the Gods.
5 May Agni, sapient-minded Priest, truthful, most gloriously great,
The God, come hither with the Gods.
6 Whatever blessing, Agni, thou wilt grant unto thy worshipper,
That, Angiras, is indeed thy truth.
7 To thee, dispeller of the night, O Agni, day by day with prayer
Bringing thee reverence, we come
8 Ruler of sacrifices, guard of Law eternal, radiant One,
Increasing in thine own abode.
9 Be to us easy of approach, even as a father to his son:
Agni, be with us for our weal.

  1. I want to read and listen to Rig Veda, what should I do? I tried to download it on my laptop, I downloaded the audio Rig Veda, but I also want to have an eBook, what should I do?

  2. Only Vedas are the true compilation of Indian historical oral books. Rest all, including Puranas and Mythologies of Mahabharata, Ramayana and Geeta are Manuvadi Brahminic caste-ist Filth.

    However, the lethal Brahmins plagiarized even the Rig Veda, but the shaff can easily be separated from the grain being latter mixing and addition.
    The Vedas are the songs of the Shepherds (Baldi), our pastoral and agrarian ancestors.

    • your name itself has been diluted with the fake western stories.
      Ramayana and Mahabharata are not stories or mythologies as some illiterate educated masses like you assumes, they are testimonies of ancient Indian history.

      • Seriously…..have you any of it

        .sorry fr this long post…pls bear with me and read these facts

        First came siddarth…

        gautama

        Called as bhuddha (the enlightened)

        There were NO GODS

        VISHNU IS THE OTHER NAME FR OUR SUN

        Kalidasa wrote shakuntala

        The story of shanatanu and his fisherwoman wife
        So his son bhishma renounced the kingdom to make his dad happy

        THE original vishnu sahasrama was written by bhishma

        Then came vyasa to write about his sons Dhiridrastra (blind )pandu impotent)…..so all pandavas were illegitimate sons
        Then he included a fictional Krishna….a yadhava…..to make things worse there is sloka 67 chapter 18…which is disclaimer in the bhagvath geetha

        Fr 20 years the indian government did a serious archeological exploration fr Dwaraka in gujrat coast..till 2012…..they couldnt find a single piece of evidence that there was a KRISHNA.. so we are left with stories of mathura jail…..vasudeva crossing the river yamuna with his child…..ALL STORIES….SANGIS WONT LIKE FACTS….

        It is also mentioned in the Vedas , that beef was eaten freely.

        Beef eating was prohibited by Brahmins priests to show piousness in their religion to counter the Buddhism popularity . These Brahmins started idols worship and started installing idols in their temples to attract people when they saw Buddhists worshipping Buddhas image . There was no idol worship in Santan Dharam or Hinduism before Buddha and Buddhism came .

        Swami vivekananda says…one is not a hindu if he/she does not eat beef

        Best beef recipes are also written in Sanskriti in vedas !!

        The Hindus of Bali all eat beef we discovered when on a visit to Bali.

        Vegetarianism and beef-ban are just a way the brahmins invented to set themselves apart as a superior race/caste.

        Actually…i have been watching these manu vadi folks fr a period of time…..and this is what i found

        They are all manipulative,as they are compulsive liars.

        They dont want to take responsiblity fr their lies and are not ashamed

        They beleive they are super intelligent,but sadly …none

        They act even as victims…to gain sympathy

        They hate anything and evrything under the sun

        They cant match truth being told.

        They live in a false sense of security

        They want to fill u with themselves their thoughts always

        They dont want to hear you..they often say

        you are just being selfish…or gas light you with confusing tales.

        When found cornered…they start showing great love….ofcourse needless to state , that is a fake.

        They dont have empathy.

        They Hate to be found at faulty end…..and so loves to makes a groupy/ganging up / dishonouring as normal,and hate to be exposed

        And all these above summed up in psychiatry is called NARCISISM TRAITS….

        they are sick mentally and deep inside they have a deep sense of shame, insecurity and cant handle it…very sadly they need psychological /mental health treatment.

        Ramayana is another big fairy tale……valmiki who was a waylaying robber happened to meet disowned sita…who told him the story of her husband ram…

        He was born in kusal….the house of his mother kausalya…and not in ayodya which is 100s of kilometer away….he had 2 deva guru…and on his coronation day he was asked to go on vanavas fe 14 years….such a sad deva guru vasista confirned the dates of coronation…the other guru viswamitra helped to get him married to sita ,the daughter of king janaka (whose guru was ASHTAVAKRA,he wrote astavakra geetha….Read this book )

        Rama actually committed suicide in sarayu river after getting defeated by his own sons lava and kucha…..Rama was elevated to the level of god during bhakthi movement….ramcharitra manas

        So all of these gods are grom fictional stories

        This has culminated in hatred fr others

        We in tamilnadu have over 3000 temples…but never have beleived in the lies of the aryan sanskrit …

        Such is the deceit of manuvadis (a.k.a.brahmins)

        • Who hurt you Kabbir ? And also which Google or Wikipedia posts have you been reading huh? Every argument you have made are far away from facts, they are mostly arguments you are making in bad faith. Also please learn to put your feelings aside and present arguments through your intellect because there are a lot of personal attack you have done. Take for instance you talking about Ramayanam. Ramayanam and Mahabharatam are factual historical records written by Sri Valmiki and Maharishi Ved Vyas. They are some of the most well-preserved historical records of India .So you can not even say that they are fairytales. And also almost all versions of Ramayanam written in different parts of the world have the same story except for some little difference which does not bring about a difference in the main story . I do not know which version of Ramayanam you read I assure you that the text in it has been manipulated by some wrong people who are trying to mold your brain into thinking wrongly about our culture. If you want to dispute my point or have any points you want me to dispute please feel free to ask.

    • No you are wrong Mahabharatam and Ramayanam are the most well-preserved historical accounts of India. And the Puranas are also historical records with mythological aspects .
      The Bhagvadam Gita is the very conversation between Lord Sri Krishna and Arjuna from Mahabharata which tells us the reality of life and death and discuss about other aspects of life. Calling it mythologies is just dumb of you since you did not present any facts and calling it filth just shows the inability of yourself to keep feelings away from intelligence. Also the Puranas were written by Maharishi Ved Vyasa whom, I claim, you do not know.

      Reply
      • Main and most valued books of Hindus are four Vedas rigved,samved,yajurved and Atharva ved and essence of these four is considered to be one short book called Gita aur Sri madbhagwad Gita and Gita is also called fifth veda,because it’s considered essence of four Vedas. No other book is considered equal to Vedas. Highest authority books of Hindus are Vedas and fifth veda,Gita or Shrimad bhagwad gita.

  4. I need a sanskrit version typed with english or any indian language. Traslation part is tp understand. But recitation must be in sanskrit because those vibrations of the sanskrit letters gives us a complete harmony in emotional imbalances. I think you understand and give us sanskrit version. Thank you for whom so ever is managing this site.

    • I want to understand more about you to improve myself. Currently there are no ways to translate English to Sanskrit or Sanskrit to English. Even pictures of archeological findings of Sanskrit are rare. Pictures available to the public are many times censored or altered. I would greatly appreciate any assistance that you can provide.

  5. I’m looking for old old picture drawing or plans for vimanas I would rather do the translation to make my own conclusion is the gods making these place rise in the air or do they do it under thier own power also a picture drawing or a primitive blueprint untranslated of this vorcec engine that might use mercury or something I would like to come to a conclusion if some body can help me. Thankyou: B Forsyth

    • I am also working on my own translation and not having access to the pictures is my greatest obstacle. Words don’t always make learning easier for me and pictures do. Those of us who desire Truth live in an age of deception and time is a lie.

Hindu (Indus Civilization) or religion is the oldest religion in this world which was scientifically proved by the world by known scholars ,scientist and historians . Hindu religion consist of merely 33000 thousand god and godess or beyond . According to Hindu Religion we Consist Lord Shiva as Main God and Lord Skathi as Main Godess and the Trimurtis as Bhrama , Vishnu and Rudra as their wives as Saraswathi , Lekshmi and Pravathy .

    We have scriptures as Vedas consist of four as Rig , Sama , Yajur , Atharva Vedas
    And also consist of Upavedas , Vedaganas , Upanished , Smirtis , Puranas , Ithias etc

    My only request to all is just imagine who i am , where i am , who makes my body art and beyond.

  11. I am , excited at the prospect of reading this holy script. I am almost completed with the Gita . I was excellent , so good that I am encouraged to continue with my spiritual path .
    Hindus , who have children , young , consider this as a father , who knows that our holy scripts has all the required prayers that needs to be done for a free path for our children. I was not afforded that opportunity , even though my father was a hindu priest.
    Thank Care
