A long time ago somewere out in the universe is a species or perhaps a few species of Ancient beings, far ahead of humans as far as technology and spirituality goes...
they were really powerful, they were probably aliens but its just a guess, to earth beings they appeared as gods...
Their government had some agenda or another to take over earth so they did, these godly beings ruled the Earth as god-kings... they were worshiped in many ways , this would later form many pagan religions...
These gods had a religion similar to Advaita, and worshiped the cosmic man or Brahman...
The Pagan Priest people in India called the Rishis, followed strictly the rules set down by their alien rulers, and through strict orthadox practices became liberated or "enlightened" afterwards they wrote the Vedas, and many other multitudes of scriptures... the sons of these enlightened beings became the Bramin caste of India.. these awakened pagan preists split off from what they considered "barbarians" to form sanatana Dharama, the eternal religion...
Other gods, namely Shankara(shiva) & Krishna, taught human students their own religion in a fashion similar to the guru/chela relationship still around today...
the students of these deities became the Kesin(long-haired ascetics)& the Shramana(the "do it your self" tradition)...
these traditions crafted many practices to silence the mind, some people like Buddha, Mahavira,& Lao tzu all became Gurus themselves & started their own traditions...
later Christ, Plato, and many others would do the same thing... However these traditions were destroyed by dogmatic literalist sects of early Christians..
All these traditions formed from all the worlds prophets are intended to worship in one way or another, the single energy of existence, Consciousness, the Cosmic-Man, a monist religion essentially...
"just as pots & jars can be nothing but clay, creation can be nothing but the creator."
the many religions of the world have called this supreme formless God; the TAO(chinese), Allah(Sufi), YHWH(kabbalah), Holy Spirit(jesus), Brahman(vedik), parashiva(tantrik), Quanto feild(new age philosophy), Monad(greek), Dryghton (wicca), KU/Shunyata(Buddhist), etc, etc, etc...
thousands of years past and the gods have become legends, they were never to be worshipped, they taught us to worship Brahman(the cosmic man), they are what people have called angels, fairies, elves, gods, Jinas and various other spirits
the images of the gods who came down to teach early saints now survive as meditation tools called murtis in Hinduism& the millions of pagan gods through out the globe..
In hinduism they are reveared as images of Brahman, called Saguna-Brahman...
some of these beings were wrathful materialistic demonic beings, they mixed there Dna with monkeys to produce the human species to work for them...
some of these beings were benevalent Gurus, comparable to the Buddhas of this planet, they taught us spirituality, which formed the basis of multiple religions, as well as the Upanishads, the jewel of Mystic knowledge....
there was probably some fighting between factions, and humans were just as messed up as they were, for whatever reason they took off and left us here, they faded into ancient history... who knows what happened to them...
humans treasured the mystic secrets passed to them as they survive to this day in book stores everywere, and form the basis for hinduism.
It wasnt anything special, it just went down that way...
but then again, who really knows?
