The roots of Hinduism date back to before 3,000 BCE and encompass an entire Hindu Culture and way of life for the Hindus. Hinduism was a family of myriad faiths that range from an absolute monistic triad, (Brahma, the Creator, Vishnu, the Preserver, and Shiva, the Destroyer) to a pluralistic Hindu theism (the Supreme Being manifests as many gods and goddesses). Hinduism was an ancient and complex religion with no single founding Hindu prophet or religious leader. There are numerous Hindu sects but Hinduism has no clearly delineated religious organization. The scriptures and Vedic hymns of the Hindus espouse many different viewpoints on Ultimate Reality but there are still many beliefs shared by all Hindus. The mentors and benefactors of ancient Hinduism were from the ancient Culture of Lemurian. They were Pleiadian Shamans who relocated to the Pleiades prior to the sinking of Lemuria. Most of Hinduism oral traditions and storytelling arose from Pleiadian traditions and spiritual teachings. Many of the immortal. spiritually evolved goddesses and gods depicted as divinities in the Hindu Classics and the Vedas were human beings of Pleiadian lineage. After the Pleiadian Shamans relocated to the Pleiades, the Sirians recycled their Sacred Sites in India, Egypt and other places on the planet. Since the Sirians had much longer life spans than the average Hindu, they began to revere them as acceptable replacements for the Pleiadian immortals. As time passed, the earlier goddess and gods were supplanted by the Sirians goddesses and gods who were known by different names. For instance, Rudra who was no longer living on the Earth became known as an earlier embodiment of Siva. That was why writings about Vedic goddesses and gods often mention that a particular goddess or god was an incarnation or another aspect or manifestation of an earlier Vedic deity. The Sirians helped as best they could, but, the reason they remained behind on the planet was because they were not able to live on either of the new sixth dimensional home worlds of the Pleiadians in the Pleiades.
Some of the ancient Vedic goddesses and gods like the
Asvins, Chandra, Durga, Kasyapa, Parvati, Rudra, Skanda, Surya, Vac have recently returned to the Earth as Deities of the Twelve Universal Rays to continue mentoring the Hindus,
as well as, the Sirians. To read more about the Hinduism goddesses and gods please see Hindu Deities Goddesses Gods.
The Bhagavad Gita was one of the greatest religious classics of Hinduism and part of the Mahabharata, this Sanskrit poem consisted of a dialogue between Lord Krishna and Prince Arjuna on the eve of the great battle of Kurukshetra. Krishna convinced Arjuna to fight his kinsmen, teachers, and friends by teaching him aspects of Bhakti, Jnana, and Karma Yoga. Grounded in devotion and armed with the knowledge of spiritual discrimination, Krishna performed selfless action. The Ramayana classical epic based on many Hindu legends about the adventures of Rama and his three half brothers who together formed the group consciousness of the seventh incarnation of the god Vishnu. Rama and his noble wife Sita were forced into a lengthy exile after being tricked out of the throne of Ayodhya. When Sita was abducted by a demon, Rama and his allies, the monkey king Sugriva and his general Hanuman, fought a mighty battle in Sri Lanka. After Sita's rescue, Rama's kingdom was restored to him. The Mahabharata, a classical epic of Hindu India was composed by a number of bardic poets (and later revised by priests) between 200 BCE and 200 ACE; and comprised of more than 90,000 couplets and eighteen books. The Mahabharata was the longest single poem in world literature and the foremost source regarding Hindu ideals, Culture, statecraft, theology, and morals. Although there were many subplots and unrelated tales, the Mahabharata was primarily a fabled account of civil war and dynastic struggle for the throne of Kurukshetra in the region around modern Delhi.
The Puranas also taught
morals, Dharma, and Vedanta, and brought to light the human attributes of the
divine. An essential component of Hinduism, the Puranas were elaborate short stories and narrations about popular
concepts of divinity were composed in the local vernacular by poet saints to
explain universal concepts such as the cycles of Braham, creation, Vishnu,
preservation, and Shiva, dissolution.
