Thinking about it again, however, I realize that the Vedas are the most important texts in Hinduism – they were recited by Bhrahman himself, so it seems as if they should be the “Bible” of Hinduism, as the Bible was spoken by God also. At the same time, the Gita and Ramayan are so much more widely read and known than the Vedas, most probably because they are easier to understand.

Though it becomes confusing, I actually find it appealing that Hinduism does not prescribe to a single text. It allows people to find what most relates to them and what best fits their level of understanding and interest. Perhaps everyone Hindu needs to choose his or own personal Hindu “Bible.”
