Sri Suktam - Rig Veda Hymn with English subtitles - Mahalakshmi - Godde...
The hymns are found in the Rig Vedic khilanis, which are appendixes to the Rig veda and date to pre-Buddhist times. Reciting the Sri Suktam brings prosperity peace, and all-round abundance. It is widely believed that recitation of this powerful stotra bestows unfailing power to the character and personality of those who recite it, to their general well being and to those whom they influence. Mahalakshmi is prosperity, wealth of life. Wealth of life is not limited to money, gold or silver. All forms of happiness, satisfaction, abundance and position in society are due to Mahalakshmi. Any form of superior grandeur, greatness and glory is due to Mahalakshmi. The Sri Sukta is one of the Pancha Suktam (5 Suktams) recited during the 3-hour long Abhishek of Lord Sri Venkateswara, at the famed ancient Hill Shrine of the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple in Andhra Pradesh, India. The Abhishekam to the main deity is performed every Friday.
Child in the Womb Revealed by the Vedas

Forget what you have been told about it; the Vedic scriptures like Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam tell us the real truth. This is verified by research in intensive regression therapy when people re-experience their prenatal traumas
Purusha Suktam - the Source of all - know the essence of the Vedas
The hymns are found originally in the Rig Veda, later, it is seen in the Shukla Yajur Veda, the Krishna Yajur Veda, the Sama Veda, and the Atharvana Veda, with some modifications and redactions. Since the Purusha Suktam is seen in all Vedas, it is cited as the essence of all Srutis by Veda Vyasa in the Mahabharata. Saunaka, Apastamba, and Bodhayana have also written concerning the power of the Purusha Suktam No Vedic Yagna is performed without the chanting of the Purusha Suktha. Purusha is the source of all creation. The Suktham describes this form of his, as having countless heads, eyes, legs, manifested everywhere, and beyond the scope of any limited method of comprehension. All creation is but a part of him. The Suktham describes the creative process in the universe and the oneness in all.

Samaveda Chanting - BrainMovie
,
The Samaveda (Sanskrit from sāman "melody" + veda "knowledge" ), is second (in the usual order) of the four Vedas, the ancient core Hindu scriptures. Its earliest parts are believed to date from 1000 BC and it ranks next in sanctity and liturgical importance to the Rigveda. It consists of a collection of hymns, portions of hymns, and detached verses, all but 75 taken from the Rigveda, to be sung, using specifically indicated melodies called Samagana, by Udgatar priests at sacrifices in which the juice of the Soma plant, clarified and mixed with milk and other ingredients, is offered in libation to various deities.
The verses have been transposed and re-arranged, without reference to their original order, to suit the rituals in which they were to be employed. There are frequent variations from the text of the Rigveda that are in some cases glosses but in others offer an older pronunciation than that of the Rigveda. When sung the verses are further altered by prolongation, repetition and insertion of stray syllables, as well as various modulations, rests and other modifications prescribed in the song-books.
This is a 26 year old brain listening to the Samaveda chanting with his EYES CLOSED, notice how the visual cortex lights up even with the eyes closed. This is the first time anyone has looked at the brain while listening to the Samaveda chanting.
