wiccans using hindu gods

[Jainarayan]

Hinduism is a pagan religion being a mix of two streams - Aryan and Indigenous. The Indo-European mythology has many commonalities right from India to Ireland. I feel a strong kinship with Pagans and Wiccans. I would not mind them using Hindu Gods and Goddesses.

jaki rahi bhavana jaisi
prabhu murat dekhi tin taisi
(is that Hindi or Sanskrit? seems like Hindi).

I see no reason why a red-haired Celt could not see God(dess) the way Indians do. I'm allegedly of Italian and Sicilian heritage - I say allegedly because there's strong evidence my ancestors were actually Germanic - and I see God and the gods in the Hindu way. Go figure.

Of course, they should take care that they should not change the characters of our Gods and Goddesses. Last thing, you would not have to make stories. We already have millions of stories, Hinduism being a living tradition.

This, for sure.

 

[Aupmanyav]

If one goes by Tilak, the Indo-Europeans started somewhere in Finnish North (could even be Siberian North), traveled to Kazakh Steppes, bifurcated, one branch moving east to Central Asia and Iran, the other branch moving west to Balkans and Greece.

Yes Indian athletes are coming up. We are likely to see more of them in future. Wrestling, weight lifting being closest to Indian heart. All by grace of Lord Hanuman. Did he not carry Dronagiri (Drona mountain) from Himalayas to Lanka in one night?

The verse that you wrote is neither Sanskrit, nor Hindi; it is Avadhi, the language of the Kingdom of Lord Rama. Sage Tulasi Das had this to say about Ayodhya in the beginning of his great book:

"बंदउँ अवध पुरी अति पावनि। सरजू सरि कलि कलुष नसावनि।।
प्रनवउँ पुर नर नारि बहोरी। ममता जिन्ह पर प्रभुहि न थोरी।।"

"Bandau avadh puri ati pāwani, saraju sari kali kalusha nasāvani;
pranavau pur nar nāri bihori, mamtā jinh par Prabhuhi na thori."

(I bow to the very pious city of Avadh puri, (and) River Sarayu which removes the grime of kaliyuga;
I see and bow to the men and women of the city, for whom the Lord did not have just a small love.)

Ah, thank you!
