Magalaan,
You are actually right.
The Vedas describe a conflict between two groups of people: the Aryans and their enemies, the Dasas. The Dasas were the ancestors of modern-day Persians, and they considered Varuna to be their deity. After settling in Iran, the Dasa religion evolved into Zoroastrianism, which is widely considered to be the first monotheistic religion. This religion may have influenced Judaism, since the Persian king Darius liberated the Jews from their captivity in Babylon.
Yes, in the first lines of their holy books the
Avesta: I found this:
1. Ashem Vohu (1 & 3).
I profess myself a Mazda-worshipper and a Zoroastrian, opposing the
Daevas, accepting the Ahuric doctrine. For Hawan....
The Jews were by force converted to Zoroastrianism under King Cyrus who is greatly praised in the Bible. He sent his priest the pharsi to Israel and forced them to divorce from their non-Jewish wives as was it against their customs. The female Goddesses were removed from the temple and later Father and Son God were united. These pharsi priests live on in the bible as the Pharisees, and became the dominant cult in Judaism. Judaism is an offshoot of Zoroastrianism and was brought from Babylon. But it took hundred of years. Until 300BC the mother Goddess was still worshiped in their great temple. Even until the 1400 there were still Jewish sects that worshiped the father, mother, son and daughter Gods. It was the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans that actually led to the victory of the pharisees as did not resist the Romans.
Monotheism is a lie as one can expect as it is repressing all other ideas ferociously. It can not tolerate anything that is an insult to their God. As he states himself: I am a jealous God. Many believers are fighting not even knowing what they are fighting for, misled by their egomaniac God, that thinks he is Brahman himself. But often his soldiers will say: I am fighting for the system, I fighting to uphold order. As Hitler put it: one reich, one people, one fuhrer, the Nazi empire was like every empire all about ruthless order. And in the US it is: One nation under God. It has been the ideal of every empire.
And this protector of order is often said to have created all. But that is not true! In Genesis, the creation story, one can read that JHWH did not create the universe, he only separated the earth from heavens. He was creating order not in the whole universe but probably only in the solar system, as he was a Sun God. It even tells that the Gods were already there and Gods married the daughters of men. And yes science tells us that the Sun created everything in the solar system.
And now surprise, we read the same about Varuna in the Veda's. He is the seperator of earth and heaven. Both Indra en Varuna are considered Solar deities, representing different aspects. Varuna represents Law and order, that is why the bible is all about commandments. It does not promote values, it forbids transgressions. The commandments are all but one restrictions: They begin with: Thou shalled NOT. Because laws inhibit. That is the nature of order.
And that is why Christians and Muslims are so submissive. Their God calls himself a fearful God and demands his worshipers are God fearing people. And Guess what, the same is said in the Veda's about Varuna. One can almost read the our fathers prayer of the Christians in the Veda's, begging for forgiveness.
That is why those that read the bible the most are the most vicious people too. Lets not be fooled. Simple example: Why are the Americans giving Atom bombs to Pakistan, even cruise missiles and not seek friendship with a peace loving democracy like India, but help a terrorist sponsoring nation like Pakistan? Is that not illogical? Games are being played at every level, even today.
The Jews are special and different. The Jews are not submissive. They have always fought this God, but are bound to him by a contract, a bond, but not by Love. That is why the name Israel: actually means: he that fights with God. The Jews made a contract, but try to dodge it where ever they can. They have a love hate relationship with their God that they regard as both good and evil. Yes the Jews consider him also evil. In the concentration camp they even put him on trial and found him guilty for his lack of humanity.
Don't say all this is imagination. Because billions of people are part of this imagination, it has shaped our history. And as much as people want to adopt a rational scientific view, the world is not led by such rational views.
This order aspect of the Sun, is also associated with the moon. The moon that is a reflection of the Sun. Reflection is a word also used for thinking, because it orders the the thought process. The moon (often associated with the intellect) is actually creating order. Scientists found out that without the moon, earth would be like Venus, uncontrolled storms. So Varuna is also associated with the moon. And guess what. what is the symbol of the Islam? The half moon, because the supreme God that became to be known as Allah after he jealously ousted all others from the Kaballah was the Moon God Al illah. And guess what? The Jews worship in a synagogue a word that came from the Moon God Sin.
The Romans primarly worshiped sunGods. Like Mytras. The name Ahura Mazda comes likely from Asura Mitra. Mitra and Varuna are often combined in
Mitra-Varuna. Mytras was one of the most popular Sun gods in the Roman empire and came from Persia. Like Jesus he walked with twelve disciples, had a crown and a last supper before he was killed and many more similarities.
Coincidence. I believe not. I have been studying all these religions to make some kind of sense in this perplexing history of religious conflicts. It always seemed to me that it is only logical that the Gods would turn up in other cultures under different names. And they do. And the resemblance is often striking. But scientist would say that is because ideas were exchanged. But that is self-deceit. Even totally separated regions have these comparisons. For the higher principles and forces of Nature are the same everywhere. The Gods too remain having their character, even if they dress up in different personalities, just like humans trying to disguise themselves.
In Judaism we still find things that tie them to a common heritage. For instance Abraham and his wife Sarah, come most likely from Brahmaa and Saraswati. Both are said to have married their half sister, something repeated by his son Isaak and grand son Jacob. Scientist have often claimed that there is a common heritage, but it is in the Veda's. The war described in the Gita has to do with the war between the Gods. It is a war that is repeated over and over. Both parties use wit to fool humans. It is like a game of chess with living pieces. To the Gods that are immortal and know that the human soul is immortal too, it is a game. Without that game eternal life would be ..., well like eternity, deadly boring. Their is no master plan to save the universe, it is the lila of the Gods, inspired by the lila of the Highest.
So be prepared that you have a part to play and play it to the best of you ability. That is why your soul came to this place. For the Kurukshetra is in many levels, in our heart, but here on earth too. This beautiful game that can only be played with conviction by an immortal if he loses his memory. That is your role and on both sides some people are very aware of the their role. But both play by different set of rules. One by love, and the other by force. What will prevail in this epic battle?
