Origin of Hinduism

Obscurity marks Hinduism origins but Hinduism beliefs make it the oldest faith on earth. Steeped in antiquity, deep in philosophy, there is no single founding member, or leader who developed Hinduism. There was no concept of ‘Hinduism’ in the strict sense when civilization emerged around the Indus Valley between 65000 BCE to 1000 AD. For beginners, who search for founding principles or basic tenets, it is an exercise in futility. It is true that obscurity or Hinduism origins are incomprehensible due to their open source of interpretation. But, there is no doubt that the faith holds fort (for believers) due to basic tenets, Hinduism beliefs and several antiquated scriptures that hold a light for souls who believe in living life as a Hindu. The journey continues, the evolvement progresses for the pilgrim on the path.

The core beliefs are right there ... within the DNA of man, on this planet, sitting, waiting to be realised by all souls. It can't be destroyed, cause it's just right there.

If Hinduism seemed to be annihilated, an inner person would sit in a cave, take some deep breaths, and intuit that there's something deeper. So he'd return to that place again and again, each time delving a little deeper into himself, and each time intuiting something deeper yet. Finally he would attain the goal, nirvikalpa samadhi, mystical union with God, and he. the man, would be no more.

Sanatana means eternal, for a reason. There was never a time when it didn't exist. Conjecture about when Hinduism started is really just about when it was rediscovered here, on this planet, in this cycle. Eternal doesn't have a starting point.

Don't say anything about Indus Valley civilization. We do not know that very well to make declarations. There were a deity sitting cross-legged and there was the Mother Goddess.
