Hinduism

Ben Moore-Hinduism-
I read a article today by Amy Galla that was concerned on how orality in religion was realted to hinduism. It amazed me how the vedas came to be for their religion. The vedas were just chants that were memorized by the priests of the religion. These chants were passed onto their sons that presented a way of preserving the messege and meaning of these chants. The orality of this religion enabled it to transform itself into a written relgion. Those chants had been memorized for generations and because of the successfulness it was able to produce the four books of the vedas that declare how the earth was began and what life is like. If the orality of this religion had failed would it be as stong as it is today and I believe it wouldn't because the story would have varitaions. It amazes how this religion survived throught the transition.
