Hinduism primary document

This is a piece of the Rig Veda. The Rig Veda was the Hindus sacred literature, filled with prayers, magic spells, and instructions on how to perform rituals. The Rig Veda was impactful on on how hinduism developed because it influenced the rituals and beliefs of those who followed and practiced Hinduism. It also was originally not written down and was passed on orally, this lead to people having to pay close attention to each story and spell to make sure it was remembered correctly, leading to Hinduism being a big part of their lives.
