The five aspects of Śiva known collectively as the Pañchabrahmās and whose individual names are
Īśāna,
Tatpuruṣa,
Aghora,
Vāmadeva
and Sadyojāta
are emanations from the niṣkala-Śiva
Each face symbolising the five elements.
"Here I am only presenting the Ishana aspect of Shiva & its connection with Vedas".
In the Shiva Purana, Ishana is described as a form or aspect of Shiva. The Purana states that Ishana bestows knowledge and riches on those with intelligence, while curbing evil-doers.
Ishana is declared to be the form of Shiva presiding over the ear, speech, sound and ether as well as the "individual soul, the enjoyer of Prakriti".
The Purana also asserts that the "Ishana Mantra" should be recited when fixing Lingams to pedestals, when wearing rudraksha beads on the head or (only for some) when wearing sacred ash.
An early mention of Ishana is in one of the Pañchabrahma Mantrāṇī found in the Taittiriya Aranyaka (TA 10.21.1)of the Krishna Yajurveda
Ishana is also mentioned in the Vajasneyi Madyandina Samhita of the Shukla Yajurveda (VS 27.35), which the Shiva Purana calls the "Ishana Mantra",though the Purana calls a different verse from the same Samhita which also mentions Ishana (VS 39.8) the "Ishana Mantra" as well.
So , it's bogus to claim Shiva is non-vedic god.

The basic ratios adopted in Dholavira’s plan, r = 5/4 or 1.25 (for the castle, the town, and a few other internal proportions) and 7/6 (for the middle town), must have held a special significance in the Harappan mind, most likely an auspicious one. Indeed, it is quite remarkable
The name Kāśyapa corresponds to what we find in the Pāli Alambusā Jātaka (where the son Isisiṅga is called Kassapa, and he calls his father ‘Kassapa’) and in the Mahāsāṃghika Vinaya,
but particularly to the Vedic, Epic and Purāṇic tradition, where the protagonist of this story, Ṛśyaśṛṅga or Ṛṣyaśṛṅga, is regularly connected with the Kāśyapa Gotra (Lüders 1940: 1; Keith and Macdonell 1912, I: 118)
The old argument of AMTians that so-called horse remains invariably belong to species of wild ass such as the onager (Equus hemionus onager), the khur (Equus hemionus khur), or the plain ass (Equus asinus) is unacceptable
firstly because it is sweeping in nature and produces little or no evidence, secondly because in several cases, experts have simultaneously reported remains of the wild ass from the very same sites, which implies some ability to distinguish between those species.
Vishnu (or Viṣṇu, Sanskrit: विष्णु) means 'all pervasive' and, according to Medhātith (c. 1000 CE), 'one who is everything and inside everything'.
scholar Yaska in the Nirukta defines Vishnu as viṣṇur viṣvater vā vyaśnoter vā ('one who enters everywhere'); also adding atha yad viṣito bhavati tad viṣnurbhavati ('that which is free from fetters and bondage is Vishnu').
