Sama Veda is an ancient Hindu Vedic Scripture. It is one of the four main Vedas of Hinduism. It contains a collection of melodies and chants.
Sama means “melody,” and Veda means “knowledge.” Samaveda has been described as the “Book of Song” or “The Veda of Chants” or even as the “Yoga of Song.”
It basically contains the words of Rig Veda in music. So, Sama Veda is not recited or read but sung. It contains about 1900 verses which have been taken from the Rig Veda.
