Minoic civilization and the Samana (Shramana).


When I found images of coins with the swastika and the bull  both from Sri Lanka and Crete. It seemed that indeed it was unlikely to be a coincidence, but I didn't suspect that it was just the entrance to the rabbit hole.

 Cretan minoans were apparently a peaceful bunch, with no art or gods showing war or even weapons, which perfectly matches with the descendants of Adinath.

 Apollo, who was turned into mythological warrior-like sun god by the hellenic invaders, was originally "the prophet of Truth", a healer, and represented in sculptures as standing naked man. This is pretty much the description of a samana / jaina saint. Now the phonetic of Apollo can be traced to Bahubali (which we already identified with Abel), and is always represented standing and naked. As for the long hair, it seems to be the original fashion of samana saints as early Adinath sculptures show, with the clean shaven fashion being a later custom possibly developed when samanas got to be sponsored by kings and changed forest ascetism for city monasteries.

 Then Apollo had a twin sister, just like Bahubali, in fact the jain canon speaks of a time in the early days of this world cycle where humans were born as male-female twins.

 Pythagoras, known to be devoted to Apollo, held beliefs identical to samana jainism, like non-violence/vegetarianism and the inmortality of the soul. It is likely that Pythagoras existed at a much earlier date than the atributed by scholars, and that most information recorded about him consists of interpolations written for the convenience of the ruling power, it is also possible that most texts atributed to him were written by others hundreds of years after his days. This is a very common pattern found when studying ancient famous philosophers of india and elsewhere.

 It might not be perhaps to far fetched to even relate the snake-holding Ariadne goddess, to the jain padmavati. Here I can comment how funny is that modern scholars link every ancient symbol/god/goddess with fertility, trying to convery that our ancients had little imagination for philosophy, mysticism and the idea of trascendence: shamelessly neglecting the evidence that we observe in today's existing privimitive shamanistic societies. There is no such thing as a fertility god, except when city-dwelling priestly castes from violent civilizations hijacked aboriginal gods and conned people into thinking that sacrifices brought rains.

 It is also ashaming that the swastika has been linked by these scholars to the violent and savage vedic so-called aryans, when the truth is that it is related by the same parent civilization that developed non-violence, philosophy and meditation. Then it neither has to do with races and racial purity, with traces of the samana from dark skinned dravidian sri-lanka, ethiopia, middle east, caucasus to the nordic tribes.

Adam - Adinath and The Gnostic Ismaili Islam

In earlier posts I have explored the identity of bible Adam and India's Adinath. Some weeks ago I stumbled on some information which somehow confirms my research.

 It turns out that the Ismaili gnostic muslims also considers Adam a spiritual master (and not a sinner who caused the downfall of humanity), in fact He is one of the six major Prophetic Messengers, and a pre-Mohammed Imam. And he is from India, which only means he is the same Adinath revered by the jainas and recognized as an important ancient spiritual patriarch by most indian sects and religions.

 The amazing doesn't end here. Ismaili gnostic cosmology seems to be missing link between Jainism (shramana religion) and Sethian gnosticism, since it has beliefs matching both traditions. Like jainism; creation is cyclic with a list of prophets scheduled to come to assist humanity, and like Sethian Gnosticism; there are two Adams, the historic Adam and the original Adam from higher spiritual realms.
