Hello Vishal,
First of all, you should read the BeagleBoard System Reference Manual
(in this case version C4):

You are going to have to search for the version A3...
Then, buy the parts you need:

If you are using usb to serial. You probably want to download a
software called Putty. That way, you can connect from your laptop to
your board.
You are gonna need to make sure that you have a Linux SD Card also.
There are several
websites but that depends also on the BB version which you are using.
Some websites are:
