OverviewExcerpt from Indian Myth and Legend During the early Vedic Age in India prominence was given to the gods: the social organization was of patri archal character; the goddesses remained shadowy and vague, some being, indeed, little more than figures of speech. A great change took place, however, after the invasions of the Bharata and other tribes who are now referred to as late comers. Profound and speculative thinkers attained to the pantheistic conception of the world soul; new doctrines, which are not referred to in the Vedic hymns, regarding the ages of the universe and transmigration of souls, received wide acceptance as the result of missionary efforts: the Vedic gods were reduced to the position of minor deities and new god desses rose into prominence, one indeed being Bharati.
