Po onome što se meni čini, dakle po "feelingu" za način razmišljanja
ljudi kroz različite povijesne epohe, Vede su odraz jako, jako starog
razmišljanja, negdje s granice pleistocena i holocena. Kad je to
razmišljanje poprimilo oblik konkretnog spisa, to ne znam, ali moj
"feeling" govori da su vede nastale u kontekstu nomadske kulture, negdje
u stepama središnje Azije, gdje su otvoreni prostor, nebo i vatra
predstavljali dominantne elemente duhovnog svijeta tih ljudi. Mislim da
su sibirski šamani jedan od ogranaka kulture koja je proizvela vede.

Ne. To je jako popularna teorija među Indijcima, koji je pokušavaju na
sve načine dokazati, ali dihotomija vedske i hinduističke teologije
predstavlja jak dokaz o invaziji. Oni doslovno imaju dva različita
panteona i teološka sustava koji se kroz povijest prepliću.
