Q1. What is the main book of Hinduism?
Vedas: The most important four contain ritual elements as well as a lot of contemplative philosophy (Upanishads)
Rig Veda (the oldest, holiest, most influential, and most sacred of all Hindu texts) - 10 books & 10000+ verses mark the foundation work of Hinduism.
Yajur Veda (deals with how rituals are performed) - this has 2 key parts, Shukla Yajur Veda and Krishna Yajur Veda.
Sama Veda (the musical accompaniment of rituals)
Atharva Veda (the scientific and esoteric aspects of rituals). As this Veda dealt with a lot of alchemy, black magic, etc., and science of various weapon building, the theists in the fold relegated this Veda to its lowest one, and practice of this is very limited.
