Vedas are the spiritual & social foundations of Indian ethos and these are the most ancient literary work known to man. Vedas were the cumulative compilations by different exalted sages &seers at different times in the history. These also contain the methods and measures adopted for health and treatment. According to Hindu Mythology, Brahma created the universe. He created Vedas by condensing the knowledge subtly diffused in the whole universe in a latent form. The Vedas contain information about the universe and all that exist within it. Hence, it contains knowledge about life too. So, Brahma is regarded as the Adya (first) Guru of Ayurveda.
