I started off by just trying to fimialize myself with the different gods.

Once I became somewhat familiar with them I tried to find similarities with others gods in other religions (comparative mythology) Indra=Zeus=Jupiter=Hadad=ect. For a beginner the names can be difficult and the number of characters and gods can overwhelm, stick with it...

I then began with playing around with translating certain Rig Veda Hymns myself and found a wealth of knowledge that is being deliberately hidden or mistranslated. The translation process can be very time consuming but it fascinates me.
