What religion was practiced by the Aryans?

Answer 1

As you may already know, Aryans were the groups of peoples living in the Indo-European area from approximately 3000BC. The religion of these peoples was similar to the early religion of the Arabs before the coming of Mohammed. They believed in the "sky gods" and worshipped the celestial bodies such as the moon and sun. In general, they were a very warlike people and the god that appealed to them most was the "the storm god", a god of warfare, conquest and expansionism.

Later in their history, the Aryans were influenced by several other religions, including those of India eg. The Veda, Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism (a religion largely based on non-violence). With the birth of Mohammed (570 AD) they may have gradually turned to Islam.

Answer 2

The Aryans practiced a religion known as Vedic religion, which later evolved into Hinduism. Central to their beliefs were the sacred texts known as the Vedas, which contained hymns and rituals associated with deities such as Indra, Agni, and Varuna.

Answer 3

The other Gods were the Ashwin brothers, Rudra, Maruts, Agni, Savitr, Dyava-Prithivi, Varuna, Apam Napat, Mitra, Brahaspati, Parjanya, Pusan, Apas, Vishwe Devah, and Soma. Usha, the dawn, and Saraswati were Goddesses. Vishnu became important after Aryans came to India and became the consolidate of earlier Hindu Gods, the Avataras including Rama, Krishna. In earlier century when Buddhism challenged the Caste System created by aryans people started saying that Lord Buddha is also the Ninth Avatara of Vishnu which he isn't. Because he himself rejected the concept of God then how can he be the one.
