Vedic Sabhyata (वैदिक सभ्यता) prachin Bharat ki ek pramukh sabhyata thi, jo Vedas ke samay mein vikshit hui. Vedic Sabhyata ka samay lagbhag 1500 BCE se 500 BCE tak mana jata hai. Is samay ke dauran Bharat mein Rigveda, Samveda, Yajurveda, aur Atharvaveda jaise pavitra granthon ka rachna hui. Yeh sabhyata Aryan samaj ke aagman ke saath sambandhit hai, jo prachin Sindhu Ghati Sabhyata ke baad vikshit hui thi.

Vedic Sabhyata ke kuch mukhya visheshteyen:

Dharma aur Rituals: Vedik samay mein log prakriti ki pooja karte the, jisme Agni, Indra, Varuna, aur Surya jaise devtaon ka mahatva tha. Yagna aur havan Vedic dharm ke mukhya bhag the.

Samajik Vyavastha: Samaj ko chaar varn mein vibhajit kiya gaya tha—Brahmin (purohit), Kshatriya (yoddha), Vaishya (vyapari), aur Shudra (sevak). Yahi varna vyavastha samajik aur arthik vikas ka adhaar thi.

Gurukul Shiksha Paddhati: Vidyarthi Guru ke ashram mein rahkar shiksha prapt karte the. Yeh shiksha adhyatmik aur sansarik dono prakriti ki hoti thi.

Gramin Jeevan: Zyada tar logon ka jeevan gramin tha. Vyavsay krishi par adharit tha, aur gaon sabhyata ka kendra tha.

Rajneetik Vyavastha: Vedic samay mein jan aur jana-pada jaise shabdon ka prachalan tha, jo alag-alag gao aur rajyon ko darshate hain. Rajya ka mukhya raja hota tha, jise "samrat" ya "raja" kaha jata tha.

Sanskrit Bhasha: Vedic kaal mein Sanskrit bhasha ka mahatva tha, aur vahi Vedon ki rachna ki bhasha thi.

Vedic Sabhyata ne Bharat ke sanskritik aur dharmik vikas par gahra prabhav daala, aur aaj bhi iska mahatva Bharat ke itihas aur sanskriti mein spasht roop se dekha ja sakta hai.
