Aryan Hinduism
The first traceable roots of Hinduism lie with the invading Aryans, who move into the northwest of the Indian subcontinent from about 1500 BC (see the history of India for recent archaeological arguments against the concept of an Aryan invasion). The Aryans' priestly caste, the Brahmans, is responsible for the sacrificial rites (the most solemn, among this nomadic people, being the sacrifice of a horse). The ritual hymns which they chant, passed down orally for many centuries, are gathered in the Rigveda, the earliest of all religious texts. The hymns of the Rigveda reveal that the foremost god of the Aryans is Indra, a war god and a great slayer of demons and animals. He is possibly based on a historical leader of the Aryans in their advance into India, for one of his titles is 'city-breaker'. The two other main gods of the Aryans are Agni, the god of fire; and Soma, a god associated with a drink (also called soma and probably hallucinogenic) which plays a major part in the priests' rituals. In the long term none of these gods feature prominently in Hinduism. But two minor characters are waiting in the wings for a major role. Vishnu appears in the Rigveda as a sun god who occasionally helps Indra to slay demons. And Shiva (under the name of Rudra) has a small and sinister part, prowling in the mountains, shooting humans and animals with his arrows, and both causing and curing disease.
Vedas
The Aryans also brought new scriptures, called Vedas, and new gods into India. The previous Indian gods continued to be worshipped, but the new gods were added to create Hinduism. Hindus believe in concepts like Karma, which is action and subsequent reaction, and Samsara, which is the continuous cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth. The Aryans also brought Vedas to India. “Veda” means knowledge in Sanskrit; therefore, Vedas inform and guide Hindus like the Bible guides Christians. The Upanishads, which were later Vedas, were often poetic, and they taught the metaphysical foundations of the Hindu faith. There were also Ancient Vedic Hymns that talked about the knowledge of many different items and ideas. The Vedas and gods were important to the Aryans because they were they birth of the Hindu religion.
