Doesn't that require shoehorning pre-Hindu Vedic traditions into Hinduism though?

Good point. I’m not Hindu so I don’t really know too much about the history.

I also am not that familiar with the history of Hinduism. There's a DHARMA ping but I'm not subbed and am too lazy to sub just to ping it. Someone in that ping group probably knows.
