Welcome to PAATH History….
The Rig Vedic gods were predominantly male as was natural in a patriarchal society. The Rig Vedic Aryans performed a number of domestic and public sacrifices (yajna), many of them traceable to their Indo-European past. The first reaction to Brahminical dominance and the extremely ritualistic later Vadic religion can be seen in the Upanishadas, which questioned the efficacy of animal sacrifice and gave primacy to asceticism as a means of achieving salvation, read new meanings in the sacrifice, and propounded the doctrine of ahimsa. So we can observe an evolution of religious pattern in the Vedic Age. This video is created to discuss about the evolution.
