Same way, the Cows, are respected because it gives a lot. It is also a source for almost all our routine tasks, and there is no wonder that civilization came to existence on the banks of great rivers only. As our body consists a significant amount of water (around 72%?) we need to feed it periodically to keep the cells fresh and functional. Varun Dev РІР‚вЂњ the Water God, is paid respect because water is the second most element we need to survive. The Rivers, The Oceans and the other sources of Water: It is a tradition in the Vedic culture to pay respect to the Earth when wake up in the morning and then after only, start the day. In addition it is the source for anything we feed to ourselves and hence can live our life. The Earth gives us the place to exist, so the Arya culture referred it as the Mother (like the River). (It is referred as РІР‚вЂњ Vayu Dev РІР‚вЂњ the Air God). We (actually all the living species) need pure air to breathe. We also know that the tides of the sea and ocean are dependent on the gravitational force of the Moon and it reflects the rays of the Sun, it is definitely one of the required element for a life (It is referred as РІР‚вЂњ Chandra Dev РІР‚вЂњ the Moon God). So the existence of the natural sub-planet of the Earth РІР‚вЂњ The moon plays a vital role in the lives of species on the earth. (It is referred as РІР‚вЂњ Surya Dev РІР‚вЂњ the Sun God.)Р”Р„s we know the entire darkness is not good for any creature. We see that in order to get proper vitamins the people living in the cold areas go for Sun-bathing even in the modern days. Even the trees, jungles and all the other entities do exist due to the Sun only. Actually the ice-age might not have over ever, if Sun was not situated at the particular distance. It is not possible to have life without the light. The sun is the primary source of energy as we know. Possibly that is the reason why the following entities are respected as God in Arya culture and we found praise for the same in Vedas as well. Respecting and praising a good attribute of anything which helped them living, was their habit. The Arya РІР‚вЂњ culture is attribute oriented since the beginning.

And it could have been resulted into several praise songs and Sanskrit Stotras (and hymns) praising Water and River. When those Vedic people came to the banks of some gorgeous rivers of Hindustan, they must got stunned by the scenery of the same. But somehow it was proven that this huge flow can not be stopped. They might have fought a lot of small and big wars, as they were certainly stopped by the natives of the places. The need of living in a group grown for them, not only to keep themselves safe from the wild animals but also from the local people and the people with different ideologies and life style. It resulted into small societies, villages and then cities. Possibly a lot of caravans came for hundreds of years and search for a better place to live mainly in north-west India and got settled there.

And it was a very long process, of course. Possibly the changing circumstance in the are they were living, the need to find more animals and land with greenery and grass fields, they wander through and came here in India. Earlier they do exist in the landscapes of central Asia, from which they came to India from the road passing through HinduKush mountain, the Khaibar Pass, The Sindhu Vally etc. Based on the factual evidence we are getting for Dwarika of Lord Krishna, Setubandh РІР‚вЂњ of Lord Rama and the analysis of the same, it is definitely a long time that the Arya people came to Bharat. It is considered that the Vedic People have arrived to Hindustan before five thousand years ago, but the figure must be more than that, may be 10000 years or even more.

The life style of people always relies on such factors. But, the farming based societies and villages were rose to existence due to the environment and surroundings of that time. The Sindhu civilization РІР‚вЂњ was having well structured cities established and with Sindhu civilizationРІР‚в„ўs end time, the same was about to got lost. There is a possibility of finding more such cities if archeologically advanced searches are going to be taken. It is a co-incidence that we were able to discover РІР‚вЂњ Hadappa (often written as Harappa) and Mohen-Jo-Dero РІР‚вЂњ and got to know about the civilization of that time. It is a fact that there are still a lot of ancient cities buried inside within the land of India.
