The Samaveda (Sanskrit: सामवेद, sāmaveda, from sāman "song" and veda "knowledge"), is the Veda of melodies and chants. It is an ancient Vedic Sanskrit text, and part of the scriptures of Hinduism. One of the four Vedas, it is a liturgical text whose 1,875 verses are primary derived from the Rigveda. Three recensions of the Samaveda have survived, and variant manuscripts of the Veda have been found in various parts of India.
While its earliest parts are believed to date from as early as the Rigvedic period, the existing compilation dates from the post-Rigvedic Mantra period of Vedic Sanskrit, c. 1200 or 1000 BCE, but roughly contemporary with the Atharvaveda and the Yajurveda.
Embedded inside the Samaveda is the widely studied Chandogya Upanishad and Kena Upanishad, considered as primary Upanishads and as influential on the six schools of Hindu philosophy, particularly the Vedanta school. The classical Indian music and dance tradition considers the chants and melodies in Samaveda as one of its roots.
Sama or SAMA may refer to:
I've been to the preacher I've been to the church
I gave my confession but I still feel the hurt
I've got to testify for what this woman's done to me
Some Voodoo got me so into you
I'm on pins and needles can you fel it too
Got the jones and I don't know what to do
So into you
I went to the doctor to try and find a cure
She looked into my soul said it's already been sold
And had me runnin' straight for the door
I've come to realize what this woman's done to me
Some Voodoo got me so into you
I'm on pins and needles can you fel it too
Got the jones and I don't know what to do
So into you
I've been tryin to fight it afraid I could learn to like
I've been prayin' to heaven and runnin' from hell
Some Voodoo got me so into you
I'm on pins and needles can you fel it too
Got the jones and I don't know what to do
