The Vedas are the religious texts which inform the religion of Hinduism. The term veda means “knowledge” in that they are thought to contain the fundamental knowledge relating to the underlying cause of, function of, and personal response to existence. The Vedas are thought to have always existed and were discovered by sages in intense states of meditation, rather than being thought to have been revealed to a specific person or people at a particular historical moment. As a result, Hinduism views the Vedas as Shruti, or "what is heard," as opposed to other texts like Ramayana or Mahabharata that are called Smritis, or "what is remembered."

“The Blind Men and the Elephant” is an Indian parable that has been adapted by many religions and published in a variety of adult and children's stories. It's about a group of blind men who try to figure out what an elephant is by touching different parts of it and disagreeing on their findings.

Hindu mythology is a large body of traditional Hindu narratives found in Sanskrit literature such as the epics Mahabharata and Ramayana, the Puranas and Vedas, Ancient Tamil literature such as the Sangam literature and Periya Puranam, and several other works and religious regional literature of South Asia. Rather than a single consistent, monolithic structure, it is a collection of diverse traditions developed by different sects, people, and philosophical schools in different regions and times, which are not necessarily held by all Hindus to be literal accounts of historical events, but are taken to have deeper, often symbolic, meaning, and have been subjected to a complex range of interpretations.

A 230-day walk, spanning 3,800 kilometres was Srishti’s way of creating awareness about violence — acid attacks, dowry, rapes, assaults etc — on women, and finding a possible solution. During the walk, she worked to create awareness about women’s safety, and offered empowerment through financial and digital literacy. The walk and compelling interactions that took place during the on-foot event, are now part of a 90-minute-long documentary titled WOMB - Women Of My Billion.
