Rig Veda
The Rig Veda is the oldest book in the world and dates back to 1500 B.C. It is in the Sanskrit language and contains ancient Hindu texts. In the holy city of Varanasi, students come to learn how to chant Mantra from these texts and this recording was captured at the Goswami Tulsi Das Vedic College located along the banks of the Ganges River.
