The most spectacular shift in the nature of Hinduism has been the move from almost agnostic ritualism to unabashed theism: from belief in a host of gods and spirits to belief in an all-powerful god.īut like all things Indian, this belief was not so simple. Tantalising glimpses of the assimilation process emerge from chronicles and epics written only in the last millennium. This shift is ascribed to the mingling of the Aryans, over 4,000 years ago, with agriculturists, city dwellers and forest tribes, a process which continued over a thousand years. It revolves around a shrine, often a vast temple complex. Hinduism today is very rooted to the land. That the ritual involved no permanent shrine suggests its followers were a nomadic people. Hymns were chanted and offerings made into a fire altar in the quest for fertility and power. Their primary religious activity involved invoking a primal abstract force known as Brahman through a ritual known as yagna to satisfy various material aspirations. In its earlier form, it was known as the Vedic religion, a religion of a pastoral people, commonly identified as the Aryans.
