 | | The religion of the Vedas is neither naturalism nor anthropomorphism, neither polytheism nor monotheism, but is a unique mysticism, a synthesis of all the prevalent religious cults known to the ancient Aryans. |  | | The disdain of the Aryans for alien cultures and religious cults directly contributed to the purity in which the Vedas were held, no outside influence marring their pristine beauty, and hardly any foreign divinities finding a place in their early pantheon. |  | | In addition, many gods of the pluralistic pantheon had been great heroes, warriors and philanthropists, who later were regarded as devas for their valor, patriotism and benevolence. |

| | Islam and Hinduism: Persian Heritage In Hindu Traditions |
 | | The word Aryavarta, or land of the Aryas, seems to have evolved from the Avestan words Aryenem Vaego. |  | | Many common words in the Hindu lexicon like Aryavarta, Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra can only be understood from a reading of the Persian Zend Avesta. |  | | So Sanskrit was not strictly the mother of languages - it was actually the daughter of an older language similar if not identical to the now forgotten Old Persian. |
