Hinduism & Astrology

Here is a nice article on the Indus Valley Civilization, and the growth of Hinduism.

There was Fire and Sun worship only.

If you see the wiki, web articles, you can conclude that the local religions and dieties were merged into the globalization of the Hindu religion.

For example Ayyanar in South, revered patrol God. Ellaisamy. I read one PHD article, research done long ago. Not sure whether it is online. I was also told that madurai Veeran prayer has some words like these "Vedam odura Hindu Saathankalai, thoora virattu".

Heard from a Tamil forward caste person (their ancestors were really religious under Mysore Wodayars) and says that, probably, those guys who did not accept vedas were called low castes, but tagged as Hindus. I want to see the caste system removed in India.

Some despise Satans as anti-God, while in Kerala Satan's are revered for tantricism. All in Hinduism.

I have met tribes in Yelagiri, who never knew what Hinduism was, but their kids get caste certificate as Hindu Kuruba/Irula. (?)

I would like see one article published of knowingly being Hindu and unknowns. I can write one.
