The Great Indian Religions

About this book

WHATEVER may have been the history of the Aryans, by whom the Vedas were produced, previous to their entering India, it is certain that when they did so, long before Buddhism took its rise, in the sixth century B.C., they had developed religious ideas and conceptions which present singular analogies and similarities to those which appear to be most primitive among the Greeks; and which suggest, if they do not prove, that the European and Hindu Aryans sprang from a common stock.
