ATHARVA VEDA
The Vedas are the Oldest scriptures of India and one of the oldest extant texts in the Indo-European languages.
The Atharvaveda is different from other Vedic texts as it contains both hymns and prose passages and is divided into 20 books where the first seven books contain magical prayers for precise purposes: spells for a long life, cures, curses, love charms, prayers for prosperity, charms for kingship and Brahmanhood, and expiations for evil actions. They reflect the religious concerns of everyday life and are on a different level than the Rigveda, which glorifies the great gods and their liturgy.
Books 8–12 contain similar texts but also include cosmological hymns that continue those of the Rigveda and provide a transition to the more-complex speculations of the Upanishads.
Books 13–20 celebrate the cosmic principle, present marriage prayers, funeral formulas, and other magical and ritual formulas.
It is an important source of information for practical religion, particularly where it complements the Rigveda. Many rites are also laid down in the “Kausika-sutra” of the Atharvaveda.

What little man has to accomplish must be done quickly, at the place that is assigned to him and within the time that is allotted to him. And, man has such a formidable task before him; it is to fulfill it that he has come as man, exchanging for this human habitat all the merit he has acquired during many past lives. The task is no less than the manifestation of the Divinity latent in man.

Fame and glory, power and managing capacity, spiritual splendour, nourishment and other means of subsistence belong to him who knows this Divinity as Simple and One
