According to the Hindhu belief, Vyasa is a form of Vishnu He still exists and is immortal. He is called Veda Vyasa because he classified Vedas in to 4 parts

RIG VEDA : THE BOOK OF MANTRAS It is a collection of Vedic Sanskrit hymns (poems) It is counted among the four Vedas. It was likely composed between 1700–1100 BCE It is one of the oldest scriptural texts

YAJUR VEDA : THE BOOK OF RITUAL Yajurveda means "sacrificial formula" It was made to perform ceremonial functions It serves as a guidebook for the priests It is used in executing sacrificial acts Some parts of Yajur Veda are: Madyandina, Kanva, Taittiriya, Kathaka, Maitrayani & Kapishthala

SAMA VEDA : BOOK OF SONGS Sama Veda is a collection of melodies (Saman) The hymns are used as musical notes Were almost completely drawn from the Rig Veda Its texts are a reduced version of the Rig Veda

ATHARVA VEDA : BOOK OF SPELL This Veda is completely different from other 3 Vedas A different spirit pervades this Veda. Its hymns are simpler Some scholars do not consider it part of the Vedas at all. It consists of spells and charms Practice of this Veda is related to Black Magic Rituals

(B.G 9.21) When they have thus enjoyed heavenly sense pleasure, they return to this mortal planet again. Thus, through the Vedic principles, they achieve only flickering happiness.
