If vedas which were in Sanksrit were brought in by the Aryans, what would have been Hinduism's holy scripture before their entry?

How did we come to know about the existence of our religion? Surely we had some sort of reference.

Seeking your thoughts...

  idiappam:
  
  //The term 'sanathana dharma' was coined by Sri Arobindo some 200 years ago. The religion was given the name 'Hindu' by foreigners long before Sri Arobindo was even born. Don't lie, Prabu! //
  
  yeah right - and you were sitting by him when he coined it. the word hindu was used by the islamic invaders.
  
  idiappam - what indian history do you know to poke your nose here? You are not an indian...be content with singaporean history.
  
  we have had somany stupid indologist pigs and you seem to be born out of one of those pigs.
  
  you dont have any right to talk about vedas/samskrit - even tamizh for that matter.
  
  //So what now?? In Tamil literature the word 'aryan' represents Sanskrit and its precusor the Vedic langauge, Chandasa! Another name for Sanskrit is in Tamil is 'vada sol' meaning 'the northern word' - The langauge of the people who cam from the north, the Aryans, and raided, looted and murdered the natives of India! Stop your bluffs, Prabu! //
  
  anything north of tamizh nadu, is vadakku and anything in the north - even russian is a vada sol in tamizh.
  
  aryans were indian people...they have been here since time immemorial. it is only ppl like you and your ancestors who went to singapore and conquered that land by killing innocent native singaporeans.
  
  //Thank you for that Vedic cock-and-bull! Vedas are just plain crap. Books of polytheism, rampange, murder, animal and human sacrifices, caste, black magic, voodooism, and all the ills that the India is facing came from the Vedas. Read the vedas, Prabhu! //
  
  idiappam - learn to read first - you low life singaporean scum. the very fact that you describe nonexisting writings of the vedas tells how illiterate you are.
  
  //Buzz off will you, or I shall being exposing the ills of Sanskritic Hinduism, verse after verse quoted from the Vedas! Final warning to you, Prabhu!//
  
  ha ha ha...here comes an ati-medhavi who knows no tamizh in the first place...i guess he knows no language at all in the first place...this idiot wants to talk about vedas and samskrit.
  
  since you quote only max-muller and monier williams, you must have been the child born to them.
  
  keep licking the fame of these european pigs..after all you are yourself a product of those white pigs.
  
  go shout around idiappam of however little you know...you are a frog in a glass of water.

  hinduism is donated by britishes, hinduism is nothing but fraudism, animal sacrifice, superstition, and believing myths and ritual.

  Dear Readers,
  
  "Hinduism" is a common term given by the Westerners to a group of traditional religions of India namely Saivaism, Vaishnavaism, Vedism etc,etc which over a period of time intermingled and fused with each other "to some extent", in respect of their principals and practices.
  
  Please note Hinduism is not purely Vedism as it is portrayed today. Vedism is only a "part of Hinduism".
  
  The early Vedism had as it's religious scriptures only the four Vedas, and the later Vedism had in addition the Brahmanas and Aranyakas.
  
  Further later with the Vedic religion intermingling with the traditional Religions of India came in the other Vedic religious scriptues namely the Upanishads, Ithihasas & Puranas.
  
  Early Saivaism with reference to Tamil Nadu had Agamas as it's early religious scriptures which speakes of "Saiva Siddantam", the essense of which are the Thirumoolar's Thirumanthiram of subsequent perod, and the Meikanda Noolhal of Santhana Kuravars of much later periods - all of Tamil Nadu.
  
  During the pre-medieval, and medieval periods the twelve Tamil Thirumurai Hyms sung by great Tamil Saints of Tamil Nadu too came into existance, and formed an important part of the Saivite religious scriptures of Tamil Nadu.
  
  Likewise each State had their own traditional Religious Scriptures composed in their respective languages by the Sages & Seers of those regions over a period of time.
  
  However in many regions of India the Vedic religion successfully won the patronage of the early kings & emperors, and "to some extent" mingled and fused with these traditional religions - in respect of certain religious principals and practices.
  
  I quite agree with Thiru Vaidyanathan of what he has said under Item 3 in connection with traditional religions of each region of India.
  
  Hence each State has their own "Holy Hindu Religious Scriptures" in addition to the Vedic Scriptures known to them.

  OOi Sivakumar - please read the RigVeda! The aryan invasion, the murder, plunder and treachery they committed on the Natives of Indus are clearly explained there. There westerners did not create any theory! The aryans themselves wrote their story in the Vedas. Please read the Rig Veda!
