The Red Goddess – East v/s West

Tripura is the ultimate, primordial Shakti, the light of manifestation. She, the pile of letters of the alphabet, gave birth to the three worlds. At dissolution, She is the abode of all tattvas, still remaining Herself – Vamakeshvaratantra

 

Lalita means She Who Plays. All creation, manifestation and dissolution is considered to be a play of Devi or the goddess. Mahatripurasundari is her name as transcendent beauty of the three cities, a description of the goddess as conqueror of the three cities of the demons, or as the triple city (Tripura), but really a metaphor for a human being.

 

What then is a yantra? The word is usually translated as a machine, but in the special sense of the tantrik tradition refers to the Devi in her linear or geometrical form. Yantras, by the way, are always used flat. They may be two-dimensional or three-dimensional. Every aspect of Devi has her own mantra and yantra. The yantra of Devi Lalita is Shri Yantra. The divinity of the yantra always occupies the centre or apex.

 

The different parts or petals and lines of the yantra are usually arranged in concentric circles (mandalas) and contain rays or sub-limbs of devi. The Shri Yantra has nine of these mandals, each filled with various aspects of the Devi. In Shri Yantra there are 111 aspects. The Shri Yantra is said to be a geometric form of the human body, which implies that goddess as Macrocosm is one with human being as Microcosm.

 

“When she, the ultimate Shakti, of her own will (svecchaya) assumed the form of the universe, then the creation of the chakra revealed itself as a pulsating essence. From the void-like vowels with the visarga (:) emerged the bindu, quivering and fully conscious. From this pulsating stream of supreme light emanated the ocean of the cosmos, the very self of the three mothers.

 

“The baindava of the chakra has a triple form, dharma, adharma and atma, and matri, meya and prama. The chakra of nine yonis is the great mass of consciousness bliss and is the ninefold chakra and the nine divisions of the mantra.

 

 

 

The Red Goddess in the West

 

the red goddess takes you through a tale of sex, drugs and violence. This is an ecstatic journey through the unheard history of Babalon.

 

This is an explicit and challenging vision of a very modern goddess coming into power. From Revelations, back through the Ishtar Gate and forward into a living modern magickal current.

 

English: Tipura Sundari yantra or the Shri yantra

This is more than a history, it is a passionate account of living magick and the transcendent power of Love.

 

The epic sweep of the text takes us from Babylon to Jerusalem to Rome, and onwards to Apocalypse. It confronts us with the language and symbols of our own culture and the denied demonic feminine.

 

The Red Goddess is for anyone with blood in their veins, regardless of tradition, background or experience.

 

It is a love story, and a dangerous one at that.

 

the goddess known by numerous names,  or better titles: Inanna, Ishtar, Astarte, the Holy Whore, Hierodule of Heaven, and more recently Babalon.

Beauty and terror adorn the goddess, she is ambiguity incarnate as one scholar has described her[1]. Those who have experienced possession by Her will be aware of these conflicts. Her personality, so fascinating in its complexity, is nonetheless immediately recognisable when she arrives: unrestrained, merciless yet compassionate, consuming, liberating, destructive. She exults in taking form, in the carnality of pure being, in sensory intoxication.

Caesars and Cleopatra

Caesar was born into a patrician family,  which claimed descent from Iulus, son of the legendary Trojan prince Aeneas, supposedly the son of the goddess Venus.  The cognomen “Caesar” originated, according to Pliny the Elder, with an ancestor who was born by caesarean section .

Caesar’s formative years were a time of turmoil and “savage bloodshed”.   In 85 BC, Caesar’s father died suddenly  so at sixteen Caesar was the head of the family. The following year he was nominated to be the new high priest of Jupiter

He was stripped of his inheritance, his wife’s dowry and his priesthood,  and was forced to go into hiding.

The history of Caesar’s political appointments is complex and uncertain. Caesar held both the dictatorship and the tribunate, but alternated between the consulship and the Proconsulship.

 

English: Murder of Caesar

English: Murder of Caesar (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The senators encircle Caesar. A 19th century interpretation of the event by Carl Theodor von Piloty.

 

On the Ides of March of 44 BC, Caesar was due to appear at a session of the Senate. Mark Antony, having vaguely learned of the plot the night before and fearing the worst, went to head Caesar off. The plotters, however, had anticipated this and, fearing that Antony would come to Caesar’s aid, had arranged to  detain him outside.

According to Plutarch, as Caesar arrived at the Senate, Tillius Cimber presented him with a petition to recall his exiled brother.  The other conspirators crowded round to offer support. Both Plutarch and Suetonius say that Caesar waved him away, but Cimber grabbed his shoulders and pulled down Caesar’s tunic. Caesar then cried to Cimber, “Why, this is violence!” (“Ista quidem vis est!“). 

At the same time, Casca produced his dagger and made a glancing thrust at the dictator’s neck.   Within moments, the entire group, including Brutus, was striking out at the dictator. Caesar attempted to get away, but, blinded by blood, he tripped and fell; the men continued stabbing him as he lay defenceless on the lower steps of the portico. According to Eutropius, around 60 or more men participated in the assassination. He was stabbed 23 times. 

Caesar’s last words were the Greek phrase “καὶ σύ, τέκνον;” (transliterated as “Kai su, teknon?“: “You too, child?” in English).

Caesar’s body was cremated, and on the site of his cremation the Temple of Caesar was erected a few years later (at the east side of the main square of the Roman Forum). It formally deified Caesar as Divus Iulius in 42 BC, and Caesar Octavian henceforth became Divi filius (“Son of a god”)

Cleopatra and Caesars

Cleopatra was 21 years old when they met and Caesar was 52, they became lovers during Caesar’s stay in Egypt between 48 BC and 47 BC. Cleopatra claimed Caesar was the father of her son  .

Cleopatra, Ptolemy XIV and Caesarion visited Rome in the summer of 46 BC. The Egyptian queen resided in one of Caesar’s country houses  The relationship between Cleopatra and Caesar was obvious to the Roman people and it was a scandal because the Roman dictator was already married toCalpurnia Pisonis. But Caesar even erected a golden statue of Cleopatra represented as Isis in the temple of Venus Genetrix (the mythical ancestress of Caesar’s family), which was situated at theForum Julium.The Roman orator Cicero said in his preserved letters that he hated the foreign queen. Cleopatra and her entourage were in Rome when Caesar was assassinated on 15 March 44 BC.  She returned with her relatives to Egypt. When Ptolemy XIV died – allegedly poisoned by his older sister – Cleopatra made Caesarion her co-regent and successor and gave him the epithets Theos Philopator Philometor (= Father- and motherloving God)

On 25 December 40 BC, Cleopatra gave birth to twins fathered by Mark Antony, Alexander Helios and Cleopatra Selene II. Four years later, Antony visited Alexandria again en route to make war with the Parthians. He renewed his relationship with Cleopatra, and from this point on, Alexandria was his home. He married Cleopatra according to the Egyptian rite (a letter quoted in Suetonius suggests this), although he was at the time married to Octavia Minor, sister of his fellow triumvir Octavian. He and Cleopatra had another child, Ptolemy Philadelphus.

Cleopatra’s son by Caesar, Caesarion, was proclaimed pharaoh by the Egyptians, after Alexandria fell to Octavian. Caesarion was captured and killed, his fate reportedly sealed when one of Octavian’s advisers paraphrased Homer: “It is bad to have too many Caesars.”

This ended not just the Hellenistic line of Egyptian pharaohs, but the line of all Egyptian pharaohs. The three children of Cleopatra and Antony were spared and taken back to Rome where they were taken care of by Antony’s wife, Octavia Minor. The daughter, Cleopatra Selene, was married through arrangements of Octavian toJuba II of Mauretania. 

Coin shows Cleopatra’s ugly truth

Images of Antony, left and CleopatraThe images of Antony and Cleopatra are less than flattering

Antony and Cleopatra, one of history’s most romantic couples, were not the great beauties that Hollywood would have us believe, academics have said.

A study of a 2,000-year-old silver coin found the Egyptian queen, famously portrayed by Elizabeth Taylor, had a pointed chin, thin lips and sharp nose.

Her Roman lover, played by Richard Burton, had bulging eyes, thick neck and a hook nose.

The tiny coin was studied by experts at Newcastle University.

The size of a modern 5p piece (18mm or 0.7in), the artefact from 32BC was in a collection belonging to the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle, which is being researched in preparation for the opening of a new Great North Museum.

 The image of Cleopatra as a beautiful seductress is a more recent image 
Lindsay Allason-Jones, Newcastle University

Clare Pickersgill, the university’s assistant director of archaeological museums, said: “The popular image we have of Cleopatra is that of a beautiful queen who was adored by Roman politicians and generals.

“Recent research would seem to disagree with this portrayal, however.”

The university’s director of archaeological museums, Lindsay Allason-Jones, said: “The image on the coin is far from being that of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

“Roman writers tell us that Cleopatra was intelligent and charismatic, and that she had a seductive voice but, tellingly, they do not mention her beauty.

Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton

The Hollywood couple may have perpetrated a Hollywood myth

“The image of Cleopatra as a beautiful seductress is a more recent image.”

The silver denarius coin would have been issued by the mint of Mark Antony.

On one side is the head of Mark Antony, bearing the caption “Antoni Armenia devicta” meaning “For Antony, Armenia having been vanquished”.

Cleopatra appears on the reverse of the coin with the inscription “Cleopatra Reginae regum filiorumque regum”, meaning “For Cleopatra, Queen of kings and of the children of kings”.

The university hopes more forgotten treasures will come to light before the Great North Museum opens in 2009.

The Roman coin is on display in Newcastle University’s Shefton Museum from 14 February.

The greatest joke in 2011 – Ark Of The Covenant Announcement

Alexander with the Spear, Late fourth century ...

Alexander with the Spear, Late fourth century BC, from Lower Egypt, Louvre Museum (Photo credit: carolemadge1)

2011 November they were reports  that the fabled Ark of the Covenant, is said to contain the remnants of the Ten Commandments, has been discovered along with the Tomb of Alexander the Great on the Greek island of Thasos.

The Focus Information Agency, a Bulgarian outfit not exactly renowned for accuracy, is reporting that Grekomania. ru, a Russian web portal that purports to be an “official information partner of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Greece,” has claimed that a group led by Nikolaos Kumardzis, an archeologist apparently unaffiliated with any other dig, has identified one of the world’s great treasures. At least one Armenian newspaper is running a similar story.

What more confirmation could anyone possibly want?

Thasos, which is near Macedonia, has long been rumored as the potential resting place of Alexander the Great, who died in Babylon in 323 BC after conquering Persia and consolidating Eurasian power. The connection between the great military leader and the ten commandments — none of which he could truly be said to have followed — is unclear, which makes the news that they were discovered together even less credible.

Our Conclusion

Firstly the information Agency should know what the significance of the ark of covenant. However if one is looking for the Demons Ark than its a golden Box with some magic wand and witchcraft stuff inside it. If this is that Ark of Covenant than there is no debate.

The Ark of Covenant is the crucial treasure a man can ever attain. It’s been years of explore, exploitation by the Greeks, Romans, Lucifer, His priest etc to get hold of the Ark of Covenant.

The Ark of Covenant is like the fountain of immortality. So discovery in the midst of a dead Alexander the Great is by itself false.

Second the Ark of Covenant is not somewhat which can be found just by the forty winks as it’s like finding the God Particle and in this you are God. Right?

Thirdly if you look at the past even an Adam could not arrest the Ark of Covenant in its purest form as being so close to the celestial light and since infected he lost the power to be close to the Divine Light .Finding the Ark is not like digging some riches in Gandhara.

I suppose one must first get the whole story right before they make a trick of the public since been fooled over time and space.

And does the Ark of Covenant look like this ? If one believe this than there is not anything much to say. This looks like the countless arks fashioned by Satan and unnerved away to make a different new one in view of the fact that each time he fails in his challenge. This too is one among the other resources. The Ark of Covenant will never be established in the grave which has a rich history of homosexuality and killings  or underground of materialistic people. There are various secret concerned in it. However not within the Isis seventh heaven called earth muck dirt. patroness of nature and magic.

She was the friend of slavessinnersartisans, and the downtrodden, and she listened to the prayers of the wealthy, maidens, aristocrats, and rulers. It is said that the assassination of Julius Caesar, a temple in honour of Isis had been decreed, but was suspended by Augustus as part of his program to restore traditional Roman religion. The emperor Caligula, however, was open to Eastern religions, and the Navigium Isidis, a procession in honor of Isis, was established in Rome during his reign

The journey continues to the Fountain

I doubt if one has any  idea of what was really going on and what is still going on.

 

 

 

Dear Friends and Readers

 

The Articles are not to offend any Religion or Individual or a Society. Perhaps just sharing my research and the truth. I have nothing against the Greeks or the Romans or Hindus , Muslim. My Articles are completely unbiased. I am sure this is very evident in almost all articles since the idea is to bring the truth so that each of us understand where we standy today. Where we come from and our History.

 

Gilgamesh and Enkidu

 

Greek myths are based quite closely on ancient fragments, materials until now passed over by modern mythographers. The sources range from poets to historians to playwrights and early Christian polemicists. Thus the form of the stories should be seen as a late one, incorporating in many cases Roman sensibilities.

 

Of course there has never been any one “true” version of any of these stories, as they were told and retold over a span of at least two thousand years across a region ranging across three continents, from the Black Sea to the shores of North Africa, an area now occupied by such countries as Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Italy and others. Nonetheless, the myths collectively reflect a world view in which love was wholly compatible with living life in a sacred way, a path to heroism and divinity.

 

It is noteworthy that the daimones in Greek were just “spirits.” In the Apology, Socrates takes it as unproblematic that “spirits” are “gods or the children of gods.” It was Christians who decided that the old pagan spirits were evil.

 

There is a curious sequel to the “demonization” of the asuras in India. The late, Tantric forms of Hinduism and Buddhism develop “Wrathful” forms of devotionalistic deities, such as the goddess Kâlî. These beings are terrifying and violent, bloody and dressed with skulls

 

The Greeks have been known by many names, depending on who was referring to them and when.

 

In Homer, they are called, “Achaeans, “Danaäns,”  which sounds like the Israelite Tribe of Dan

 

Classical period, a Greek is a Hellên, , known as  Hellênes,

 

The Romans, called “Greek” is Graecus,  Graeci,  Graecia.

 

In Sanskrit “Greek” was Yavana,

 

 By the Middle Ages, the Greeks were no longer calling themselves Hellênes. They were Romans. The  Roman Empire had been divided beween East and West in 395 AD. The Western Empire ended in 476 AD; but the East survived until Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453 AD.

 

The Mediaeval Greeks were thus, to themselves and to others, Romans. Also, Hellên had come to mean “pagan,” as the word is used in the New Testament, while “Roman,” Rhômaios, , meant “Christian.” The Empire was itself Romania, . Modern Greece has gone back to Hellênes and the other Classical names; but Rhômaioi, like ar-Rûm, , in Arabic, was still being used for Greeks in the 20th century.

Sad how “wicca” leads to “satanism” unless you’re really careful.
This is how contaminated everything is with Satanism these days.
The Colonies are very dirty with outright witchcraft and the South is dirty with ignorance and paganism as well.
The country in fact is in a ripe position for a change, from the conventions and rights of fighting of the Constitution to the stricter rigors of Sun Worship and human sacrifice, genocide as faith, eugenics as practical religion. This is the sad truth of  that they believe in an innate human animal seek to either re-establish rulership under their creed or destroy the religions that re-ordered and replaced their world.

 

Jason was an ancient Greek mythological hero who was famous for his role as the leader of the Argonauts and their quest for the Golden Fleece. He was the son of Aeson, the rightful king of Iolcus. He was married to the sorceress Medea.

Jason appeared in various literature in the classical world of Greece and Rome, including the epic poem Argonautica and tragedy, Medea.

 

Lilith and Medea similar — influence over the “Sun God”

“She who knows God by his name”. Isis… and also Lilith. Taking the Lilith story from this approach, we understand better the nature of the secret agreement of the demoness with YHVH, the influence on him provided by her knowledge of his true name. And, as we compared the fleeing of Lilith with the one of Medea, it will not be out of point to recall how Medea flees also with the help of her relative, the Sun God, which is the grandfather of the great lineage of witches (Medea, Circe) which brighten up the life of Greek heroes.

In Corinth, Jason became engaged to marry Creusa (sometimes referred to as Glauce), a daughter of the King of Corinth, to strengthen his political ties. When Medea confronted Jason about the engagement and cited all the help she had given him, he retorted that it was not she that he should thank, but Aphrodite who made Medea fall in love with him. Infuriated with Jason for breaking his vow that he would be hers forever, Medea took her revenge by presenting to Creusa a cursed dress, as a wedding gift, that stuck to her body and burned her to death as soon as she put it on. Creusa’s father, Creon, burned to death with his daughter as he tried to save her. Then Medea killed the two boys that she bore to Jason, fearing that they would be murdered or enslaved as a result of their mother’s actions. When Jason came to know of this, Medea was already gone; she fled to Athens in a chariot sent by her grandfather, the sun-god Helios.

Later Jason and Peleus, father of the hero Achilles, attacked and defeated Acastus, reclaiming the throne of Iolcus for himself once more. Jason’s son, Thessalus, then became king.

As a result of breaking his vow to love Medea forever, Jason lost his favor with Hera and died lonely and unhappy. He was asleep under the stern of the rotting Argo when it fell on him, killing him instantly. The manner of his death was due to the deities cursing him for breaking his promise to Medea.

 

 

 

 

 

The Fountain of youth – 2

STORY NO  2

 Every Indian should be proud to know that Parasya, the original name of Persia or Iran, was derived from Sanskrit ‘parasu’ the battle axe which Lord Parasu Ram, an Incarnation of Lord Vishnu, used to carry.  He should also be glad to know that the great Roman Empire was the creation of immigrant ksatriyas of India, who settled in Italy and founded the city of Rome, named after Lord Rama, the king of ayodhya. One should also notice that in Italian it is spelled Roma, not Rome, still today. According to E. Pococke, originally the name of the city was Rama and later on, Sanskrit long ‘a’ was replaced by ‘o’. There is another city in Italy, Ravenna, which many believe, has been derived from Ravana, the king of Sri Lanka. Ancient Romans used to wear dhoti and cremate the dead. Still today one finds numerous statues of Lord Shiva and Lord Ganesha and the most spectacular statue of Lord Shiva is standind beside a public fountain at a road square in Bologna. Roman priests were called ‘Pontiffs’ and scholars  believe that the word has been coined from Sanskrit ‘Pundit’. They are also convinced that the word ‘Vatican’ has been derived from Sanskrit ‘Vatika’.

 

                Once upon a time, the two countries Norway and Sweden, collectively called Scandinavia, were ruled by Shri Kartikeya, son of Lord Shiva. It is well known that, Skanda was the other name of Shri Kartikeya and the land was therefore called Skandanavi. And scholars agree that today’s Scandinavia is a corrupt of Sanskrit Skandanavi. Similarly, the Caspian Sea was named after Rishi Kasyapa and words like August, Augustine, Augustus etc. were derived from Rishi Agastya. Arka is the other name of the sun and Sanskrit arka became arak in the West, just as dharma became dharma and karma became karam in Northern India. Gradually this arak became araak and finally today’s Iraq. In a similar manner, Surya the sun became today’s Syria.

 

                It would be really perplexing to every Indian to know that Lord Krishna, the son of Devaki, became Apollo in Greece. Radhakanta is the other name of Lord Krishna and, as Radha is a woman and abala (physically weak), He is also known as Abalakanta, and this Abala gradually became Apollo in Greece. Scholars also agree that the Greek god Zeus was no other than Lord Shiva of Kailash. They also agree that early Indian settlers in Greece came from Rajagriha of Magadha (today’s Rajgir in the state of Bihar). As they migrated from Rajagriha or simply ‘griha’, were called ‘Graihkas’ or ‘Graihakos’. Through passage of time, this ‘Graihako’ became ‘Graecus’ and finally ‘Greek’. In a similar manner, Sanskrit ‘griha’ became Greece.

 

                As said above, the early Indian settlers were from Magadh, and people from Magadh were called Madadhan in Greece. After passage of time this ‘Magadhan’ became ‘Makedan’ or ‘Macedan’, and finally ‘Macedonia’, the birth place of Alexander. Where from the name Alexander had been derived?  A man of incomparable beauty in this world is called ‘Alokasundar’ in Sanskrit and after passage of time, Sanskrit ‘Alokasundar’ became ‘Alexander’ in Greece. It may be mentioned here that there are many variations variuations in spelling of Alexander in Europe and a few of them are Alexandre, Aleksander, Aleksunder and so on, and these variations supports the above view.

 

                    Thousands of years ago people belonging to the tribe of Bhil left their dwelling place Hamman in Afghanistan and settled in Greece, where there chiefs were called Bhilpos, a corrupt of Bhilpati. Gradually this Bhilpos became Philips, the tribe to which Alexander belonged. So, it becomes evident that fore-fathers of Alexander originally were inhabitants of Hamman in Afghanistan, who later on migrated to Greece.

 

                There is a small place called Attak lying on the bank River Indus and nearly 942 miles north of the Arabian Sea. These people, after migrating to Greece, named their new dwelling place as Attak-sthan, which after passage of time, gradually became Atakthan Or Atthan and finally Athens, the great ancient city of Greece. The migrants from Ayodhya were called Ayodhan (people of Ayodhya) in Greece. Later on, this Ayodhan became Ionan and from Ionan, names like Ionian Island, Ionian Sea were derived. These migrants from Ayodhya were also known as Cul-ait-Ram (Family of Ram), which ultimately became Call-id-Romos. Scholars believe that a group of these people, later on, migrated to Italy and founded the Roman Empire and the city of Roma. And another branch of them migrated to Peru in South America.

 

                Shali is a kind of fine rice and desh-shali stands for the place where this kind of rice  is cultivated. Such a place of desh-shali in Greece became Thessali, a province in Greece. Himadri is the other name of Himalay, where ‘him’ stands for cold and ‘adri’ stands for a mountain. And from this ‘adri’, the name of the sea between Greece and Italy was named the Adriatic Sea. Falguni or Phalgooni was the other name of Arjuna. This Phalgooni in Greece became Phalgoonus and the settlement of the descendants of Phalgoonus was called Phalgoonia. Today, the place is called Pelagonia, which forms a part of the province of Thessali. Another name of Arjuna was Ajeya or the undefeatable. In Greece, this Ajeya became Aegeus and his descendants were called Aigaios. And from Aegeus, the adjoining sea became Aegean Sea.

 

                The early settlers in Greece were also known as Pelasgians and scholars believe that the word was derived from Pelargos. But pelargos has several meanings. Firstly, Pelargos means sea and hence some scholars beliueve that they were called Pelasgians as those early settlers came to Greece by the sea. Secondly, ‘pelo’ means ‘to till’ and ‘argos’ means ‘land’. So, many believe that those early settlers were tillers of the land, or agricultural people. A third group of scholars believe that those early settlers came from the state of Bihar in India. In those days, Bihar was also known as Pelas, and hence they were called Pelasgians.

 

                Why did the Indians start migrating to Greece and other Western countries in large numbers? And when? Scholars believe that, after the Kurukshetra War the Kshatriya tribes, who fought for the Kauravas and survived the War, began to migrate in large numbers to escape humiliation and persecution by the winner Kshatriyas. According to the most modern estimate, the said War was fought in 3067 B.C., and hence the said migration took place nearly 5000 years ago.

 

                Hella is the other name of Greece and many believe that the name was coined from the mountain Hela, situated in Baluchistan in today’s Pakistan. They also believe that the people of that locality were the first among all other Indian tribes to reach Greece. The contribution of these people from Hela mountain, who were sun worshippers, played a vital role in Greek history and civilization. From this Hela, the Greek name Helios for the sun was derived. The settlement of these Hela people was called Hela-des or land of Hela, which ultimately became today’s Helados.

 

                There was a group of people who lived near the mouth of River Indus, who were experts in long distance sea voyage. These people worshipped snakes and hence were called ‘Phanish’ or king of snakes. Afater passage of time, they were called the Phoenicion sailors. In Greek, word ‘cori’ stands for the mouth of a river. So the people, who migrated from the mouth of Indus were called ‘cori-Indus’. Later on, this ‘cori-Indus’ became ‘Corinthus’ and their settlement became the city of Corinth.

Many believe that the name of the Caucasus mountain was derived from Kaikeyi, the mother of Prince Bharata, the younger brother of Lord Rama. Similarly the names like Christ, Christine, Christopher etc were derived from Krishna; Adamson, Adams etc. from Sanskrit ‘adim’ and  Andrew, Andrews etc. from Sanskrit ‘Indra’. Scholars agree that English ‘man’ and old English ‘mon’ were derived from Sanskrit ‘Manu’. Scholars also believe that names like Harry, Harris, Harrison etc. were corrupts of Sanskrit Hari. The renowned German scholar Max Muller was fully convinced that, ‘Max’ was a corrupt of Sanskrit ‘moksha’ and whenever he wrote a letter in Sanskrit, he used to sign it as Moksha Muller. Furthermore, during his stay at Oxford, he used to write ‘Gotirtha Nagar, in stead of Oxford. 

    

                In Sanskrit, the word ‘kulish’ stands for lightening and Harikulish was the other name of Lord Balarama. In Greece, this ‘Harikulish’ became ‘Hercules’. Hara is the other name of Lord Shiva and, in Greece, this ‘Hara’ became ‘Haro’. Scholars also believe that the English words ‘hero’, ‘hurrah’ etc were derived from Sanskrit ‘Hara’. The English word ‘amazon’ stands for a woman warrior, or more commonly for a tall, strong and masculine woman. Scholars agree that the word was derived from ‘Uma’, the wife of Lord Shiva. In Sanskrit, ‘Umasuta’ means son of Uma. In Greece, this ‘Umasuta’ became ‘Umasuna’ or ‘Umasun’ or ‘Umasoon’ and hence ‘Umasoona’ stood for Uma’s daughter. With passage of time, ‘Umasoona’ became ‘Umazoona’ or ‘Umazona’, and ultimately “Amazon’.

 

                In Sanskrit, ‘ap’ means water. In many places, including Northern India and Arabia, this ‘ap’ became ‘ab’, and thus the land of pancha (five) ‘ab’ became Punjab. In a similar manner, the sacred water of the well Zem Zem in Mecca became ‘ab-e- Zem Zem. Scholars believe that the name of the Russian River Ob is also a corrupt of Sanskrit ‘ap’. They also believe that the name of the River Volga was derived from Sanskrit ‘falgu’. They are also convinced that the name of the River Danube was derived from Sanskrit ‘dhanya (paddy)+ ob’ and hence it implies that once upon a time, paddy was cultivated on the banks of the River Danube. In Sanskrit, ‘dhara’ means flow and ‘am’ means mighty and the name of the River Amu Darya is a corrupt of Sanskrit ‘am + dhara’ and similarly, the name of the River Syr Darya is a corrupt of Sanskrit ‘Sri + dhara’. Scholars also agree that the name of the River Nera in Yugoslavia was derived from Sanskrit ‘neera’ (water); River Odra in Poland from Sanskrit ‘ardra’ (wet); the Siberian river Uda from Sanskrit ‘udaka’ (water) and the river Vah in Czechoslovakia from Sanskrit ‘vah’ (to flow).

 

                Most of the scholars agree that the Greek epics Iliad and Odyssey are nothing but imitations of Ramayana. The prime story of Ramayana is abduction of Sita by Ravana and liberating her from captivity by Rama. Similarly the Greek epics narrate abduction and liberation of Helen, the Queen of Troy.

 

                How were the names of the celebrated Hellenic scholars derived? Scholars believe that Sanskrit ‘arya’ became ‘aristo’ in Greece and from this ‘aristo’ names like Aristotle, Aristarchus and English words like aristocrat, aristocracy etc have been derived. They also believe that Socrates was a corrupt of ‘Sukracharya’ or ‘Sukra’. In Sanskrit, ‘vidyapith’ means a place of learning and ‘vidyapith guru’ stands for a teacher or ‘acharya’. In Greece, this ‘vidyapith guru’ became simply ‘pith guru’, which after passage of time, became ‘pithgoras’ and from this ‘pithgoras’, finally the English word Pythagoras was derived.

 

                So, it becomes evident that the scholars who believed to have authored the Greek or Hellenic civilization, were, in fact, Kshatriya immigrants from India. And hence it can safely be said that, India is the mother of civilization, which is now known as Hellenic or Greek civilization. Or in broader sense, India is the mother of today’s Western civilization.

The story of the love between Zeus ( Lord Shiva in Greek Mythology), king of the gods, and Ganymede, the handsome son of the Trojan king, goes back  into the prehistoric neolithic. According to Plato (The Laws), the story originated in Crete, a land with a rich ancient history of its own.(1)1. One may fairly ask, if the Ganymede myth comes to us from the Cretans, how come Ganymede is an integral part of a Trojan dynasty and the action of the story takes place in Troy? Which came first, the Cretan custom or the Anatolian myth? Why does the principal mountain in the Troad have the same name as the Cretan mountain from which Ganymede was said by the Cretans to have been kidnapped by the god? Its Minoan civilization, named after the mythical king Minos, predated Classical Greece by two thousand years. Though the story of Ganymede itself cannot be traced back that far, ancient myth tells of the love  evidence of an ancient tradition of homosexual initiation.

an ancient Greek ethnographer, describes a Cretan initiatory rite in which a man takes as lover a boy who is coming of age. To summarize it, the man chooses a boy of exceptional moral character, steals him away from his home in a ritual abduction, and takes him into the mountains,  introduction to adult ways, the two have sexual relations. At the completion of the rite, the man bestows rich gifts upon the boy .

Zeus was the biological father of Alexander (Rufus, 4.7.23-28). The chief god of the Greek Pantheon frequently visited Olympias in the night in the form of a snake. Philip II found out about this by peeping through the keyhole while his wife had intercourse with Zeus.

This act of the husband peeping to see his wife sleeping with the Lord Zeus was punishable. Inshort Zeus could infact come into another mans bedroon and have sexual intercourse. What a moral act and teachings given by Gods ?

So Philip was  punished  eventually lose the eye with which he watched Zeus’s  adventures with the queen of Macedon!

Alexander the Great did proclaim his divinity towards the end of his life and ordered his subjects to worship him as god. Herakles also the Lord Krishna and also avataar of Vishnu  was   the son of Zeus.

 

 

Megasthenes’ Herakles as Shiva

According to Quintus Curtius, the Sibae, whom he calls Sobii, occupied the country between the Hydaspes and the Akesines. They may have derived their name from the god Siva.[3]

Again when Alexander had captured at the first assault the rock called Aornos, the base of which is washed by the Indus near its source, his followers, magnifying the affairs, affirmed that Herakles had thrice assaulted the same rock and had been thrice repulsed. They said also that the Sibae were descended from those who accompanied Herakles on his expedition, and that they preserved badges of their descent, for they wore skins like Herakles and carried clubs, and branded the mark of a cudgel on their oxen and mules.
— Ancient India as described by Megasthenes and Arrian – Dr. Schwanbeck and J.W. McCrindle (1877), pp. 128–129 [4]

According to Dr. Schwanbeck and J.W. McCrindle, Megasthenes meant Siva when he mentioned Herakles in his book Indika[5]

Such, then are the traditions regarding Dionysus and his descendants current among the Indians who inhabit the hill-country. They further assert that Herakles also was born among them. They assign to him like Greeks, the clubs and the lion’s skin. He far surpassed other men in personal strength and prowess, and cleared sea and land of evil beasts. Marrying many wives he begot many sons, but one daughter only.

The sons having reached man’s estate, he divided all India into equal portions for his children, whom he made kings in different parts of his dominion. He provided similarly for his daughter, whom he reared up and made a queen. He was the founder, also, of no small number of cities, the most renowned and greatest of which he called Palibothra (Patliputra).

He built therein many sumptuous palaces, and settled within its walls a numerous population. The city he fortified with trenches of notable dimensions, which were filled with water introduced from the river. Herakles, accordingly, after his removal from among the men, obtained immortal honor; and his descendants, having reigned for many generations and signalized themselves by great achievements, neither made any expedition beyond the confines of India, nor sent out any colony abroad.

At last however, after many years had gone, most of the cities adopted the democratic form of government, though some retained the kingly until the invasion of the country by Alexander.

Roman Gordion

Following Galatia’s annexation by the emperor Augustus in 25 BCE, a new settlement was founded atop the Gordion Citadel Mound during the Augustan or early Julio-Claudian period (ca. 25 BCE–25 CE). A contemporary (Augustan) account by the geographer Strabo—the only surviving literary reference to Roman Gordion—describes the site at that time as a village only slightly larger than those that surrounded it (Geography 12.5.3).

 

This settlement appears to have been occupied intermittently until the early fifth century CE, at which time the Citadel Mound was abandoned for reasons currently unknown.

 

Only comparatively small portions of the Roman period settlement on the Citadel Mound have been excavated to date. In 1900, the Körte brothers, who concentrated their efforts in the southwest zone of the mound, unearthed scant traces of the Roman settlement in that area. R. S. Young exposed more substantial remains in that location and in the northwest zone during his initial 1950 field season, clearing two distinct building phases of the Roman period town in both areas. Operations in the northwest and southwest zones were halted after only a single season, however, following Young’s decision to concentrate in areas with more direct access to the Iron Age strata. Nevertheless, several fragmentary structures along the Roman settlement’s eastern edge were encountered by Young’s team in the “Central Cut” (CC) and “West City Wall” (WCW) trenches, excavated between 1967 and 1973.

 

Increased interest over the past decade in the site’s later strata led to a fresh exploration of the Roman town under more carefully controlled and recorded conditions. Between 1993 and 2002, M. M. Voigt and T. C. Young reinitiated work in both the northwest and southwest zones, where features previously identified by Young were re-recorded, and the town’s earliest habitation phases, dating to the Augustan and early Julio-Claudian periods, were exposed for the first time.

 

Most recently, in 2004 and 2005, A. L. Goldman directed the first series of excavations to target the Roman settlement, at three separate locations on the Citadel Mound. The project’s specific objectives included an investigation of the following interrelated issues: (1) the date of the town’s foundation and the character of its earliest habitation phases; (2) the pace of expansion and development of the town’s physical plan in different sectors of the Citadel Mound; (3) changes in site function and economic activity during the Roman imperial period; and (4) the spread and extent of ‘Romanized’ cultural patterns among the site’s inhabitants.

 

 

 

The recent investigations have substantially altered previous suppositions regarding the town. It is now recognized that the settlement represents a re-foundation of the late first century BCE or early first century CE, at which time the surface of the abandoned mound was leveled and a new town built atop its western half. These careful leveling activities, the adoption of a new north-south axis in the buildings (at variance with the northwest-southeast orientation observed in all pre-Roman phases), the careful laying of mudbrick floors and the construction of subterranean water conduits all indicate that the settlement’s establishment was a far more deliberate endeavor than formerly imagined.

 

The longevity of the town’s occupation is now also evident: at least four major building phases have been identified between the foundation period and the town’s final abandonment in the early fifth century CE. Furthermore, analysis of the material excavated by Young has revealed higher levels of internal organization and economic activity than formerly suspected. The introduction of sophisticated architectural refinements (e.g. a colonnaded street, a house with a peristyle plan), a comparatively high frequency of stray coin finds, and significant quantities of imported ceramics, glassware, and jewelry all indicate that at least some of the site’s inhabitants attained a moderate level of prosperity. It is also worth noting that as late as the third century CE, gravestones still bore formulaic Phrygian inscriptions, curses against would-be desecrators of the burials.

 

Our understanding of the town’s overall function(s) has likewise begun to improve. The discovery in 2004 and 2005 of Roman military equipment at Gordion proves that the town existed as a minor military and/or administrative post for the local area.

 

Ancient road itineraries place a posting station (statio) named either Vindia or Vinda in the immediate vicinity of Gordion, alongside the highway that ran between the provincial capitals of Ancyra and Pessinus (modern Ankara and Ballıhisar, respectively).

 

Portions of this road have been excavated at Gordion, and field surveys of the route have led to the positive identification of the statio to the immediate west, at Colonia Germa (modern Babadat). Since Germa lies only ca. 25 km southwest of Gordion, at the approximate distance indicated on the itineraries, it seems probable that Gordion and Vindia/Vinda are one and the same. Gordion’s selection as a military post is not entirely surprising, since the site is at a strategic location at the confluence of two river valleys (the Sangarius/Sakarya and Tembris/Porsuk).

 

Whether the town was home to a permanent fort is currently under debate. Whatever the case may be, it is now clear that the town played at least a minor role in the provincial administrative and communication system (cursus publicus), located as it was at an important nexus of Rome’s local communication, transportation, and security network in Galatia.

 

 

 

However as per the Revelation we have received in December 2012 the city attacked and perhaps the following was the attack.

The men of the city were butchered and eaten by Romans like cannibals with wine and swine blood. The women were raped and devoured as dinner on a table with 20 Romans shredding them for a feast.

The city destroyed

 

 

 

 

Aphrodite

The beautiful goddess Venus is probably most familiar from the armless statue known as the Venus de Milo, displayed at the Louvre, in Paris. The statue is Greek, from the Aegean island of Milos or Melos, so one might expect Aphrodite, since the Roman goddess Venus is distinct from the Greek goddess, but there is substantial overlap. You’ll notice the name Venus is often used in translations of Greek myths.

Fertility Goddess

The goddess of love has an ancient history. Ishtar/Astarte was the Semitic goddess of love. In Greece this goddess was called Aphrodite. Aphrodite was worshiped especially on the islands of Cyprus and Kythera. The Greek goddess of love played a crucial role in the myths about Atalanta, Hippolytus, Myrrha, and Pygmalion. Among mortals, the Greco-Roman goddess loved Adonis and Anchises. The Romans originally worshiped Venus as goddess of fertility. Her fertility powers spread from the garden to humans. The Greek aspects of the love and beauty goddess Aphrodite were added on to Venus’ attributes, and so for most practical purposes, Venus is synonymous with Aphrodite. The Romans revered Venus as the ancestor of the Roman people through her liaison with Anchises.

She was the goddess of chastity in women, despite the fact that she had many affairs with both gods and mortals. As Venus Genetrix, she was worshiped as the mother (by Anchises) of the hero Aeneas, the founder of the Roman people; as Venus Felix, the bringer of good fortune; as Venus Victrix, the bringer of victory; and as Venus Verticordia, the protector of feminine chastity. Venus is also a nature goddess, associated with the arrival of spring. She is the bringer of joy to gods and humans. Venus really had no myths of her own but was so closely identified with the Greek Aphrodite that she ‘took over’ Aphrodite’s myths.

The Parentage of the Goddess Venus/Aphrodite

Venus was the goddess not only of love, but of beauty, so there were two important aspects to her and two main stories of her birth. Note that these birth stories are really about the Greek version of the goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite:

There were actually two different Aphrodites, one was the daughter of Uranus, the other the daughter of Zeus and Dione. The first, called Aphrodite Urania, was the goddess of spiritual love. The second, Aphrodite Pandemos, was the goddess of physical attraction.

Portraits of Venus

Although we are most familiar with the nude Venus artistic representations, this wasn’t always the way she was portrayed:

The patron deity of Pompeii was Venus Pompeiana; she was always shown as being fully clothed and wearing a crown. The statues and frescos which have been found in Pompeian gardens always show Venus either scantily clothed or totally nude. Pompeians seem to have referred to these nude images of Venus as Venus fisica; this may be from the Greek word physike, which meant ‘related to nature’.

Festivals of the Goddess

Encyclopedia Mythica:

Her cult originated from Ardea and Lavinium in Latium. The oldest temple known of Venus dates back to 293 B.C., and was inaugurated on August 18. Later, on this date the Vinalia Rustica was observed. A second festival, that of the Veneralia, was celebrated on April 1 in honor of Venus Verticordia, who later became the protector against vice. Her temple was built in 114 B.C. After the Roman defeat near Lake Trasum in 215 B.C., a temple was built on the Capitol for Venus Erycina. This temple was officially opened on April 23, and a festival, the Vinalia Priora, was instituted to celebrate the occasion.“A
