Its series of sacrifices culminate in the Atmayajna or the self-sacrifice wherein the ego is offered up to the Divine.
The ritual is to recreate the universe within our own psyche and thereby unite the individual with the universal. The purpose of the ritual is to put together and recreate within ourselves the Cosmic Man or Indra. Its deities are the same as the Rig Veda. It was the main Veda used by the priests in ancient India and has much in common with the Egyptian Book of the Dead. Several versions of the Yajur Veda exist, which differ in a number of respects. On an inner level, it sets forth a yogic practice for purifying the mind and awakening the inner consciousness. The Yajur Veda seen by the outer vision is the Veda of ritual. Its form has been structured in several different ways to guarantee its authenticity and proper preservation through time. While originally several different versions or rescensions of the Rig Veda were said to exist, only one remains. Most aspects of Vedic science like the practice of yoga, meditation, mantra and Ayurveda can be found in the Rig Veda and still use many terms that come from it.
It is built around a science of sound which comprehends the meaning and power of each letter. It contains the oldest form of all the Sanskrit mantras. While the term Vedic is often given to any layer of the Vedic teachings including the Bhagavad Gita, technically it applies primarily to the Rig Veda. Modern western scholars tend to date it around 1500 B.C., though recent archeological finds in India (like Dwaraka) now appear to require a much earlier date. Many great Yogis and scholars who have understood the astronomical references in the hymns, date the Rig Veda as before 4000 B.C., perhaps as early as 12,000. The Rig Veda is the oldest book in Sanskrit or any Indo-European language. It consists of a thousand such hymns of different seers, each hymn averaging around ten verses. All the other Vedas are based upon it and consist to a large degree of various hymns from it.
