I just produced what the Acharya had stated on this topic. My view on this remain neutral unless there is conclusive proof to prove both sides of the argument. The reason why a lot of things are ascribed to Hinduism is because Sanatan Dharma was supposed to predate everything else. There are lot of Vedic principles found in other religions. This is not to prove the superiority of the Vedic religion but just that there was a continuous chain of inspiration of human thought leading to inventions and theories and Vedic religion happened to be the oldest one. The Spaniards need not have known Hindu mythology or Kapila. If a twisted form of the name Kapilaranya was existing at that point of time all they had to do was rename it as California or whatever. I am not saying that this was the way it happened but that possibility cannot be discounted altogether either. We also need to understand that the world was one big landmass once and if the theory of one religion is true it is quite possible that Kapila had his ashram in California. The Acharya had spoken in length about the presence of the Vedic religion throughout the world.

If you look into the customs and traditions of African tribes before they became Muslim or Christian one can find a lot of similarities with the Vedic religion like idol worship, sacrifices etc. There is a whole bunch of Western Indologists who say that the Vedic religion was worldwide and influenced a whole lot of other religions.
