Mythology did not grow out of nothing. The ancient seers saw a lot of celestial events and created mythological literature across the world. To understand religion one has to think like them. For example, the sky is an ocean, there is a dome created by God to separate the water above from the water below [Genesis 1:6]. Ra was the sun-god in ancient Egypt. Most, if not all, words containing Ra are derived from that, e.g., Rab, Radha, Ram, Ray etc. The Sun God Ram is always fighting the Devil of Darkness Ravan (Raven = darkness) to take the earth goddess Sita, such ancient story might have been the basis of Ramayana. Both Kunti and Draupadi are manifestations of the Venus lore, as is Ahalya, Savitri etc. Therefore, Mahavarata is also a celestial epic. Lord Krishna may well be the Egyptian blue God, Geb. Geb later transformed into Gabriel (Gibrael = Geb + Ra + El) in the post-Abraham religions. In Hindu scriptures, however, he became the sky god with two major consorts, Radha during the day, and Chandravali during the night. "Aha Sree Radhika, Chandravali/ Kake sere kake feli" and "Kurupa Kubja Rani holo aj/ Akule bhasilo Rai// Bankay Bankay miliase bhalo/Tulona kothay pai//" are two famous Kirtans sung by the Vaishnabs. However prominent the Krishna Cult might have been, it never had totally dominated India. Even the Brahmavaivarta puran had to syncretize him (Shyam) with Shyama (Kali). When Tagore wrote the present national anthem of India, Ram was the dominant God. So Nehal Sing can better consider Ram as the Bharat-Bhagya-Bidhata. After all, afterwards wherever Gandhi went he sang Ramdhun to attract people. "Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram/ Patit Pavana Sita Ram//" Notice, how many times Ra appears in the verse!
Tagore wrote Jana Gana Mana For Lord Krishna. Please read the short article atFor the complete article read it atPlease forward this mail to as many people as you can. The British created the myth that our gods and goddesses are mythological characters. This is not true and our Vedic scriptures confirm it. First we must get this sorted out before we create a plan for 2020 in my opinion.Regards,Nihar Singh
