The story is spun out from the ancient Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the first stories written down. Gilgamesh was an early bronze age king of Uruk, an ancient city near the mouth of the Euphrates. His encounter with his forefather Utnapishtim, who was said to have been immortal, lays the foundation of religions for times to come. About two thousand years later Moses in the Pentateuch, and Zarathustra in the Avesta, established monotheism . |

The essence of India's historic Shyaam/Krishna is rapine, violence (war or murder) and deception (lies, fraud and seduction), effected by powers of mind, while the metaphysical essence lies in yoga and philosophy like vishista-advaita —a construct and composition not in accord with history. The disparity leads to mental and social disorders. * . . . while yet another Krishna was a 'loud-yelling'
non-Aryan asura chieftain
of the Jamnaa region who led a 'godless
legion' of ten thousand followers and committed great havoc until he
was defeated and skinned by Indra. One
Krishna was also a Dravidian god of youth. A
Vedic passage speaks of a leader of fifty thousand
Krishnas, who was captured and slain
together with all his pregnant wives so that he might leave no issue.
There is evidence to suggest that he was 'a hater of the braahmanic faith' who declared, "I will surely
cause the worship of cows, through force if need be' (IV, P. 173).

By the first millennium BCE a divide had grown up between the polytheistic Vedic civilization in India and the monotheist tradition in the Middle East and this divide has continued to this day. "For
the elimination of polytheism served to remove much of the
capriciousness of divine intervention and to substitute for it the
notion of divine pattern and purpose gradually being unfolded in human
history . . . God could thus be conceived as divine lawgiver who has on
the one hand laid down once and for all the fixed order of the physical universe and on the other provided the
laws to govern human affairs" |

"In this respect, Cunda, the teacher is at fault and his false teaching is at fault, but the devotee is not to be judged harshly. But if anyone should say to such a devotee, ‘Come, friend, live up to the tenets of your religion as our teacher taught you’ — then both he who gives such advice and he who takes it produce much demerit for themselves. And why? Because that doctrine and discipline are badly expounded , badly set forth, do not lead to Nirvaana, do not tend to serenity, and are set forth by one not fully Enlightened, with support destroyed and without resource."

Matthew 5: 13 You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt shall lose its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?" It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled by men." Matthew 6: 22 "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If the light within you is darkness how great will be that darkness!" |
"Sick people are made by a sick culture; healthy people are made possible by a healthy culture. But it is just as true that sick individuals make their culture more sick and that healthy individuals make their culture more healthy. Improving individual health is one way to make a better world. To express it another way, encouragement of personal growth is a real possibility; cure of actual neurotic systems is far less possible without outside help. It is relatively easy to try deliberately to make oneself a more honest man; it is very difficult to try to cure one's own compulsions and obsessions." Toward a Psychology of Being, Abraham H. Maslow, D. Van Nostrand Co.; NY, 1968 |
