    Lord Krishna Playing the Flute.

    I have written a number of articles on the spread of Sanatana Dharma throughout the world.

    Sri Lanka,

    Malaysia,

    Thailand,

    Laos,

    Korea,

    Indonesia,

    Cambodia,

    Vietnam,

    Japan,

    New Zealand,

    Australia,

    US,

    South America,

    Central America,

    Greece,

    Romania,

    Turkey,

    Germany,

    Iran,

    Iraq,

    Afghanistan,

    Russia,

    China.

     

    You may check my posts for each of these countries.

    As I have been attempting to study the references to Sanatana Dharma through various sources, including works in other languages, I have requested Beatrix Laurens, France, (a regular reader of my posts)  to suggest French references.

    I am aware that French is the most suited langauge suited for Philosophy, apart from Sanskrit.

    I was sure that there are bound to be references.

    I was suggested a site and I have been promised more.

    As I was going through the site, I chanced upon a Link that threw up interesting information about Lord Krishna.

    I shall be writing on Rama Influence, sourced from the site mentioned by my friend a later as I have to study the material in-depth as it makes startling revelations.

    Now,

    I have been able to establish from reliable sources that.

    1.Christianity was nothing new and was sourced from elsewhere.

    2.There was Sanatana Dharma presence in the middle east.

    3.Interesting that The Jews were the descendants of the Yadavas, Lord Krishna’s Clan.

    Twenty two tribes left India after the Mahabharata War.

    Manu is Noah Yayati Yadava

    4.

    After the epic battle of Mahabharata, exodus from India began .

    Many tribes fled from India towards the North and West.

    It has come to light that one of the tribes, Ailahs fled to the middle east and the Arabs called their God as Allah, from the Sanskrit speaking tribes Ailah.

    Ailas were a part of Yadavas and Pauravas who took part in the Mahabharata battle.

    And this tribe did not stop here.

    They proceeded further west.

    And landed in Samaria.

    Samaritans

    5.Sumerian culture’s Link with Sanatana Dharma has been dealt with in detail in my earlier Posts.

    6.We have the 786 of Islam being the OM of Hinduism.

    7.There was Shiva Temple in Mecca.

    8.Also in Jordan, Petro Jordan Shiva temple.

    9.The Greeks had a fascination for Krishna and we have many legends of Krishna in Greece and there is enough evidence to suggest that the Greeks worshiped Lord Krishna.

    10.Pillars of Hercules are reported to be a Tribute to Lord Krishna.

    11.Then we have the Tamil connection to Hitti Empire, Mittani,Incas, Aztecs,Mayas.

    12.The ancestors of Celts wereBrahmins.

    I shall be writing on the similarities between Sanskrit and Irish Languages

    Additional information has come to my notice about the Temple of Solomon( I shall be writing on this later) and about  Krishna in Greece and Krishna was the God of the Greeks.

    ‘In about 1900 BC, hundreds of thousands of native Indians emptied Northern and Central India and fled to the Middle East after Krishna’s Dwarka sank under the water.( I have reservations on the date here)

    ..*his family together and fled either to the Middle East or to what is now Iraq. Only some gigantic natural disasters, such as earthquakes and floods could have caused such an exodus. It was at this time that the Saraisvati and the Indus changed their proper beds. The Saraisvati dried up…( Possible as Krishna’s son Pradhyumans’ city is in Russia-please refer my post on this)

    The word Jerusalem is derived from Sanskrit: Yadu-Ishalayam, meaning “The Holy Rock of the Yadu Tribe.” Lord Krishna was a Yadu. The Moslems still revere this huge rock under the Dome of the Rock on Jerusalem Temple Mount.

    ..

    Until now, I have been wondering why Krishna’s name did not appear in Jerusalem after his arrival there. Yet, the name of the king of Jerusalem,Melchizedek, the mentor of Abraham, did. I once thought thatMelchizedek was the name of a certain person. I made this mistake by thinking that a prince and a son of a Kassite king, Melik-Sadaksina, was a supernaturally endowed prince, magician and spiritual giant. I thought he had accompanied Krishna, Abraham, and Sarah to the Middle East. Later on, I came to realize that the Sanskrit word Sadhaka applies to anyone who is an adept, a magician, one possessed of supernatural powers gained by worshipping a deity or by uttering magical chants……

    ‘Krishna and his family probably fled to Iraq. But I’m certain that they went to Jerusalem. The word Jerusalem is derived from Sanskrit: Yadu-Ishalayam, meaning “The Holy Rock of the Yadu Tribe.”

    Lord Krishna was a Yadu.

    The Moslems still revere this huge rock under the Dome of the Rock on Jerusalem Temple Mount.

    (The India We Have Lost,Paramesh Choudhary)

    I have additionally shown in this article that the New Testament words for Jesus all refer to Lord Krishna and his holy names. The early Christians were convinced that Melchizedek was just a prior incarnation of Jesus Christ, The remains of the Nag Hammadi manuscript entitled Melchizedekseem to confirm this. Melchizedek, king of Jerusalem and mentor of his son Abraham, was none other than ancient India’s God Krishna. The early Christians thought that Jesus was a reincarnation of Krishna, for who else had the name Yesu Kristna, Isa, Krishna, etc.?”

    ..

    ..

    Many people don’t understand what is meant by Joshua’s remark about “the other side of the flood.” They think he was referring to the Noachide flood. He was referring to the time when God Krishna’s Dwarka and Haran province, in today’s Gujarat, sank under water in about 1900 BC. Abraham, Sarah, and their followers escaped southward, to the coastal ports of Kalyan and Sopara (Sophir or Sauvira), in Maharashthra. From there, they sailed northward to the Middle East. Sarah (Sarsvati) embarked from the port of Kalyan. At one time, Kalyan was located closer to the coast, but is now located more than 50 miles inland. Sarasvati is the patron saint of Kalyan. The patron saint of Sophir or Sauvira was Parasu Rama (possibly a name of our biblical Abraham/Brahma).

    And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan… (Joshua 24:2-3.)

  • Who Has The Courage Of Andal To Address Vishnu Thus

    I have written on the intimate level in which God is held in Hinduism.

    We have many legends historical facts to back this up.

    Sanskrit literature abounds in narrating these instances and , if one is of the right disposition, shall bring tears .

    Andal, Srivilliputtur.jpg
    Andal, Srivilliputtur

    When Tamil takes position on this?

    The result is exquisite.

    There are many who have treated God as a Lover, Meera an example.

    Andal, an Azhwar by her own right steals the show in this lover role Nayaka Nayaki Bhava.

    Her yearning for Vishnu, Krishna is something ephemeral and would melt one’s heart without being erotic.

    Tamil calls the satisfaction  in culmination, consummation of Love as pleasure of the Lowest Order while Realizing Reality or communon with God as ecstasy or Bliss.

    The former is called as Chirinbam(சிற்றின்பம்)

    The latter as Perinbam ( பேரின்பம் )

    Andal of Srivilliputhur has composed many exquisite poems and her father Vishnuchitta, Periyaazhvar in One who Blessed even Vishnu!

    Of most importance is Andal’s Thiruppavai(which incidentally is being celebrated as a function in  South east Asia), thirty poems oozing Bhakthi and Love for Vishnu, Krishna.

    There are such utterances my Andal that bespeaks of her ardent Love.

    She has the Love and audacity (?) to call Krishna/ Vishnu as one who was immersed with his wife Nappinnai and instead of asking him to disengage himself, Andal exhorts Nappinnai, Krishna’s wife?

    This Poem is recited twice when reciting Thiruppavai (Vagak kadla Kadaintha is also recited twice?

    The meaning of the words/sentence in Italics convey more than what has been translated.

    I am sure my readers can understand.

    Tell me, which religion, or Devotee has the courage and conviction to address as Such?

    By the way this is yet another Proof that Lord Krishna married the Pandyan Princess Nappinnai.

    Please read my post on this.

  • How Much Do You Trust God

    How Much Do You Trust God

    Faith Sustains, Cures, while Reason seeks out explanations.

    For those in critical situations, solution to the problem is importnt than the explanations or the rationale.

    Help reaches out to those who have Faith, I have seen.

    It may not be some thing unnatural or something akin toa miracle.

    It could be by an unexpected turn of events , help from an unexpected source or from a Stranger.

    Then how come that even for those who have Faith, help does not arrive many a time?

    The answer is your return is directly proportional to your investment , in this case , the intensity of Faith.

    Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita that total, unconditional surrender would beckon Him.

    In the Karna Mantra He states,

    Sarva Dharman Parthyajyasya Maamekam Charanam Vraja,’

    The correct meaning is,

    for those who abandon all actions and seek Refuge in Me alone.

    He did not come to the aid of Draupadi,also called Krishnai,who was being stripped in an open Hall, though she was crying out to Krishna , at the same time holding on to her clothes.

    He came to her when she freed her hands , threw her hands up!

    When Tirunavukkarasar( Tamil Saint), called Appar, was  thrown out into the sea with a stone tied around him, he sang,

    சொற்றுணை வேதியன் சோதி வானவன் 
பொற்றுணைத் திருந்தடி பொருந்தக் கைதொழக் 
கற்றுணைப் பூட்டியோர் கடலிற் பாய்ச்சினும் 
நற்றுணை யாவது நமச்சி வாயவே. 				4.11.1  Thevaram. by Appar.


Even if you are thrown into the Ocean with a stone around you,

Nama Sivaya, the word of One, Who is,

The Protector of the Word, Vedas,

The Eternal Flame of the Heavens,

For those who worship His feet'

He, The Refuge ,Constant Companion.

This is Thirunavukkarasar's approach.

  • Whom Did Lord Rama Worship?

    Whom Did Lord Rama Worship?

    My Posts are an attempt to unravel our History, which has been distorted ,erased beyond imagination by the Britishers and other westerners at the instance of the Vatican and the special effort of the Britishers to Divide India and rule it, by sowing seeds of mistrust, disrespect for our scriptures.

    Rameshwaram.jpg
    Rameshwaram, where Rama worshiped Shiva.

    This was achieved by totally erasing some of our texts,by having the ancient manuscripts shipped abroad, by introducing English as a Medium of instruction totally banishing India Languages, especially Sanskrit and by pseudo Indologists like Max Mueller,a  Missionary by initially trying to write honestly and later interpolating meanings of the Vedas that would make a mockery of Hinduism.

    I am trying to piece together our History , thanks to the web, where wittingly or unwittingly the suppressed information about Santana Dharma is available.

    It takes a considerable effort to locate them.

    That has been the purpose of my Blog, apart from informing the younger generation about how they are inheritors of a Great Culture.

    In this process some times information is likely to surface, which may not be palatable to some Hindus even.

    For example the information that Vedas do not prohibit women from performing Sraddha or having Upanayana performed for them

    Or there is no such thing temple worship.

    Or there is no Caste by Birth.

    Now I am presenting information about the Avatars of Vishnu,Rama here.

    Similar information on other Avatars follows.

    After the Vedic period there have been unsavoury pollution of Sanatana Dharam with many schools of Thoughts coming into force, some denying the Vedas, some denying God, but believing in the Vedas,then sects Saivism and Si Vaishnavam

    The last one took an ugly turn with each accusing the other and one sect insulting Vishnu and another Shiva.

    All are wrong and they do not carry the authority of the Vedas, notwithstanding what the Puranas say.

    For a Hindu, the Vedas are The Authority, period,

    Now to the question of whom did Lord Rama worship, one depends on Valmiki Ramayana and other Ramayana also by Valmiki.

    Now Valmiki Ramayana is the one being accepted as the source.

    Lord Rama belonged to Surya Vamsa, the Solar Dynasty.

    As such Surya the Sun is their Deity.

    That Surya is considered as the expression of Vishnu is another matter.\

    However Lord Krishna says , in the Bhagavad Gita,otherwise.

    He says He is Vishnu, not as the other way.

    Adhityaanam aham  Vishnu and not as

    Vishnunnam Aham Adhitya.

    So Rama. following family Traditions, worshiped Surya.

    Apart from this Rama worshiped Shiva a couple of times the important one being His Worship of Lord Shiva, at Rameswaram to rid of the Brahmahathi Dosha accrued by killing Ravana, a vedicV scholar.

    Rama also worshiped Surya in the battle field for mental strength and victory, at the instance of Sage Agastya.

    Thus was born the Adhitya Hrudayam Sloka.

    Rama also seemed to have worshiped Devi though Valmiki does not mention this in Ramayana.

    ‘As per Patteeshwaram Ashtabhuja Durga Temple stala, it is noted that the worship of Devi Durga owes its origin to ShreeRam. In the ‘Ramayana’, as it goes, Rama went to ‘Lanka’ to rescue his abducted wife, Sita, from the grip of Ravana, the king of the Demons in Lanka. Before starting for his battle with Ravana, Rama wanted the blessings of Devi Durga . He came to know that the Goddess would be pleased only if she is worshipped with one hundred ‘NeelKamal’ or blue lotuses. Rama, after travelling the whole world, could gather only ninety nine of them. He finally decided to offer one of his eyes, which resembled blue lotuses. Durga, being pleased with the devotion of Rama, appeared before him and blessed him…

    ..he correctness of Ramayana is that the story is based on the Ramayana, but does not actually come in the Ramayana text of Valmiki. It is found in various Puranas. When Rama was going to cross the ocean, some texts describe that He performed worship of Durga Devi to inform her of His intentions of invading Lanka. The reason for this is that Durga was the protector of Kuvera’s island of Lanka before it was taken by Ravana. As such, it was proper etiquette for Rama, acting as a human king, to inform Durga Devi that He was about to invade her area of control. In this story, Rama acts as a yajaman, and Brahma acts as a priest who performs the sacrifice to please Durga Devi.

    In the sattvika puranas, the story is described that Rama prays to Durga, and Durga replies, “I am your external shadow energy. What ever you wish to do, I am your servant.” This is along the lines of the text “shrishti-sthiti-pralaya-sadhana-shaktir eka chayeva yasya bhuvanani bibharti durga” found in the scriptures. Durga Devi (Maha Maya) is the shadow energy of Lord Narayana.

    In the rajasika puranas the story is described differently. When Rama calls to Durga, she refuses to appear. Then Rama pierces his eye with an arrow, and Durga Devi appears crying tears of blood.

    Throughout the Puranas and various versions of the Ramayana we find a variation of three types of puja Rama did, either to Shiva, Durga or Brahma. It is likely that the variations are due to yuga-bheda, or the minor differences that occur in different ages. The Rama-lila is performed every Treta-yuga, and as such it has occurred thousands of times with many variations. We do not know from which time period the stories are recorded in each book. Thus there are many seemingly contradictory descriptions in the Puranas. It is described that Jambavan, the vanara devotee of Lord Rama, takes part in each incarnation of Rama in the same body. The cosmic cycles of time are moving like seasons, and these histories are played out in every age on schedule.
    http://www.bvashram.org/articles/48/1/Di…

    Finally, depending on Valmiki Ramayana, the sage Agastiya suggested Rama is found correct and nowhere it is found Durga worship by Rama. Only sage Agastiya adviced Rama to conquer in the battle field by worshipping the Surya, the sun-god rendering Aditya Hridayam. Rama accepted the sage Agastiya’s advice and worshipped.’

    I have posted quite a few posts where Rama is shown to have worshiped Shiva many times.

    And his ancestor Bhagiratha brought Ganges to Earth by severe peneance to Lord Shiva.

    Based on these texts, Lord Rama worshiped Shiva and Surya.
