Religious Thinking of Jyotirao Phule

Religious thinking of Jyotirao Phule has had a significant impact among the people over a period of time.

Religious thinking of Jyotirao Phule was mainly based on the Hindu gods and mythology. He basically belonged to the Indian aboriginals. His akhandas were also based on the adhangs of Indian aboriginals saint named Tukaram (a Moray Shudra.). Phule's own idol or hero was Chhatrapati Shivaji and referred to him as "destroyer of the Brahmins.

He was also a subscriber to Maharishi Vitthal Ramji Shinde's magazine - Dnyanodaya. (Maharishi Shinde was a Harijan or "untouchable" and a member of the reformist Prarthana Samaj.)

He did not like the castists of Tamil Nadu using Lord Rama as a symbol of oppression of Aryan conquest.

Attack on the Sanctity of Vedas
The critics of Jyotirao Phule lambasted him on the issue of caste system with the attack on the Vedas - the most fundamental texts of forward-caste Hindus. He considered Vedas as 'idle fantasies' as 'palpably absurd legends'. He considered Vedas a 'form of false consciousness'.

He believed that the true inhabitants of Bharat are the Astik. He also believed that the Brahmins were outsiders to Hinduism. This was also the view spoken by Keshavarao Jehde.
