		<description><![CDATA[The above summary of information from my 2000 L.A. Museum Exhbit related Lecture Series was written by Vrndavan Brannon Parker, who assisted me in giving my talks in the L.A. Area.  The Title and a few comments in it represent more of his own research and perspective.  Mr. Parker delivered a research paper of his own on Akhenaton, later that year at the WAVES 2000 Academic Conference.  So this Summary also reflects some of his own perspective and interpretations.  

For example, it has always been my assertion that the &#039;Vedic&#039; roots of Akhenaton&#039;s Monotheism were the indigenous Afro-Helleno-Semitic Tradition of HERU-AUSU-ATUM (ATEN).  Therefore, although it is true that Akhenaton had familial relations with the Hurrians of Mitanni, his revival of the much earlier Heliopolitan Heru-Ausu-Atum (Aten) worship of Northern Egypt was just that.  I have not asserted that he derived his Heliopolitan Monotheism or its Vedic Roots from the Hurrians of Mitanni.  In my opinion, his Heru-Ausu-Atenism was a revival of the old Rhodes-related Heliopolitan Monotheism of Heliopolis (and Memphis) Egypt.   

 Another point of clarification that I would like to make regards Mr. Parker&#039;s statement that the &quot;...Mitanni were a Sanskrit speaking and writing people...&quot; .  The people of Mitanni were not of a single tribe, ethnic group or language.  The Civilization of Mitanni was multi-ethnic and multi-lingual, and there has been a lot of academic controversy over the identity and language classification of the Hurrians of Mitanni.  Some scholars have identified the ruling class of Mitanni with Indo-Aryans or Hittites.  Such scholars have claimed that the Hittite-related noble class of Mitanni used a Sanskrit-related so-called Indo-European or Indo-Aryan Language, and worshiped &quot;Vedic Gods&quot; such as Indra and Varuna.  

Mr. Parker wrote:    


&quot;Research has proven Akhenaton’s vedic roots through his familial connections to the Hurrian/Mitanni peoples. Everyone agrees that the Mitanni were a Sanskrit speaking and writing people and they worshipped the vedic gods. What is forgotten is the fact that Akhenaton’s father, his mother, and wife were all related to the vedic Mitanni. Thus, it is no surprise that Akhenaton’s religion has so many vedic similarities. The research of BhaktiAnanda Goswami has proven the Vaishnava nature of his religion.&quot;

Among some Native Indologists, it is generally agreed that the Hittites got their &#039;Vedic gods&#039; from the Hurrians, and that the Hittites were Indo-Aryan Language speakers.  

My research has yielded interdisciplinary proof that Akhenaton&#039;s Heliopolitan Monotheism was an indigenous form of Egyptian Krishna-Baladeva-Paramatman centered Vaishnavism.  It is true that Akhenaton&#039;s family was married-into the Royality of Mitanni, and that the Religion of the Hittites and the Hurrians was also related to that of the Biblical Semites and the Helios worshipping Greeks.  However I have no where claimed that the Hurrian Language was a so-called Indo-Aryan Language or Sanskrit.  Specifically I have asserted that there are some unexplored profound connections between the NAMES OF GOD and TERMS OF RELIGIOUS IMPORTANCE that cross the linguistic boundries of the so-called Indo-Aryan, Semitic and African Language Families.

The below link discussion is an example of the controversy that still continues over the identity and language of the Hurrians of Mitanni.   The whole subject has become highly politicized by the various national conflicts over the identity of the Kurds.       

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3AHurrians

This Author, below, like most others, does NOT describe Hurrian as an Indo-European or Indo-Aryan Language.  Instead he identifies Hurrian as related-to the North-East Caucasian Languages.   


&quot;Speaking as someone who can actually read Hurrian texts and who&#039;s studied their grammar, I can attest that any professional linguist or Near Eastern scholar would consider the connection to the Kurdish language as essentially crackpottery. The Kurds speak an Indo-Aryan language related, distantly, to Persian and Sanskrit. The Iranian peoples were not present in Anatolia until much, much later than the period in question, not until perhaps the time of the Persian empire. (It&#039;s difficult to know for sure.) At any rate, Hurrian and Urartean are not even Indo-European languages, and no scholar has made any very convincing case that they are related to any other known language. The one partial exception is that by Starostin and Diakonof, who claimed based on lexical evidence and a number of posited sound-laws that Hurrian and Urartian are related to the North-East Caucasian languages now spoken in Daghestan. This is not entirely implausible; the proto-homeland according to some scholars was at that time south of the Caucasus, not north where they are today. However, the concensus of the Northeast Caucasian specialists (as, e.g., represented in an article by Johanna Nichols in a festschrift to Howard Aronson) is that Diakonof&#039;s work is shoddy and does abide by the strictures of the comparative method that linguists use to determine genetic relatedness of languages. This is separate from the question of BIOLOGICAL relatedness, however. I am not an expert in this field, so I can only speak about the linguistic evidence, and all of that evidence suggests that the Hurrians were not originally even remotely near Indo-European cultures despite some of the evidence that the Mitanni state may have had an IE elite ruling class.

		<description><![CDATA[-----------Janaki He unearthed a golden casket in which he found a beautiful baby girl.-----------
In Mycenaean Pylos, Demeter and Persephone were potniai (the mistresses). In classical Greece, they were invoked as tō theō (&#039;the two Goddesses&#039;)[citation needed] or despoinai (&#039;the Mistresses&#039;).[23] The myth of the capture of Persephone seems to be pre-Greek. In the Greek version Ploutos (πλούτος, -----------wealth) represents the wealth of the corn that was stored in underground silos or ceramic jars (pithoi). ----------Similar subterranean pithoi were used in ancient times for funerary practices and Pluto is fused with Hades, the King of the underworld. During summer months the Greek Corn-Maiden (Kore) is lying in the corn of the underground silos, abducted by Hades (Pluto) as it is described in Theogony. Kore is fused with Persephone, the Queen of the underworld. At the beginning of the autumn, when the corn of the old crop is laid on the fields she ascends and is reunited with her mother Demeter, for at this time the old crop and the new meet each other.[24]

According to the personal mythology of Robert Graves,[25] Persephone is not only the younger self of Demeter,[26] she is in turn also one of three guises of the Triple Goddess — Kore (the youngest, the maiden, signifying green young grain), Persephone (in the middle, the nymph, signifying the ripe grain waiting to be harvested), and Hecate (the eldest of the three, the crone, the harvested grain), which to a certain extent reduces the name and role of Demeter to that of group name. Before her abduction, she is called Kore; and once taken she becomes Persephone (&#039;she who brings destruction&#039;).[27] 
Sita in a casket it stand also for  in a womb, further there are  prairs that Radharani is the earth or material world without her no birth Krishna was saying this. He alone is not enough to produce a baby therefore He need Radharani or Maya. Its a strange compilation of verses in the knowledge coming from the Bhagavatan the comment say that Brahma when he create takes the elements for the offerings (body&#039;&#039;s) out Gharbodakasayi Vishnu and later same Bhagavatam  Gharbodakasayi Vishnu forms a material body He start breathing the Gods become his lungs and when He gets hungry then form the genitals Like a embriyo in the womb, but He float in the water on a snake, a baby to excuse me for my English, but when I read the article I get some associations by the way, when someone is working on the field it is a shudra, not a king, or a vaisya lower class people But Krishna say to Arjuna, on Kuruksetra see the brahman and the donkey and the candala with the same vision. because the have both the soul and paramatma in them. .greetings]]></description>

		<title>Comment on Who is Rhoda? Who is Zeus? Who is Kouros? Indra, Vishnu, a Demigod or God Himself? by Bhakti Ananda Goswami</title>

		<description><![CDATA[THE ABOVE WITH TYPOS CORRECTED 

Rhoda-Kore and Helios Kouros are the Origin of ALL of the Heliopolitan-Monotheism related Afro-Helleno-Semitic &#039;Greek Gods and Goddesses&#039;.  Note in the above that RHODA-Kore (RADHA-Hare) has Her pictorial pun RED Dress on!  
 
Why have these Kore and Kouros Murti Pairs been found at the bottom of the Mediterranean, buried like the Merenta Excavation Pair above, or preserved in the Vatican and other Catholic collections?  It is because of the Iconoclastic (Sacred Image-smashing) Controversy and the near total destruction of early Christian and other sacred Art by the followers of M*hammed.  The Catholic Leaders who fought against the Iconoclasts, tried to rescue the Sacred Art of their religious domain, especially the so -called &#039;cult images&#039; of the Proto-Catholic Heliopolitan Tradition. The Great Rhodian School of Monumental Stone Murti Sculpture in-the-round was unparalled in the ancient World. Techniques from the Masters of Rhodes were transmitted to the Murti Makers of Pure Land Buddhism and Vaishnavism at centers like Gandhara and Mathura.     
 
In these related P L Buddhist and Vaishnava Traditions, to avoid desecration of a Sacred Murti of the Lord or Shakti, if there is no other way to protect Sri Murti, the Form of the Lord or Shakti must be buried or cast into a deep body of water!  Where this was not accomplished, the Iconoclasts (Murti smashers) delighted in disfiguring, beheading and dismembering the so-called &#039;Cult Images&#039; of the ancient Mediterranean Region. They also defaced and destroyed countless other works of Sacred Art.  This is why the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea is littered with countless &#039;Cult Images&#039; from the tiny home-shrine type to great Temple Murtis weighing tons.  Such Murtis were deposited there before or after desecration, to protect Them from further insult and injury.  Burying Murtis on land was an alternative to burial at sea.  Thus many more such &#039;Cult Images&#039; will no doubt be found as research progresses in areas that were once invaded and ruled by Muslims or other Iconoclasts.]]></description>

<p>Why have these Kore and Kouros Murti Pairs been found at the bottom of the Mediterranean, buried like the Merenta Excavation Pair above, or preserved in the Vatican and other Catholic collections?  It is because of the Iconoclastic (Sacred Image-smashing) Controversy and the near total destruction of early Christian and other sacred Art by the followers of M*hammed.  The Catholic Leaders who fought against the Iconoclasts, tried to rescue the Sacred Art of their religious domain, especially the so -called &#8216;cult images&#8217; of the Proto-Catholic Heliopolitan Tradition. The Great Rhodian School of Monumental Stone Murti Sculpture in-the-round was unparalled in the ancient World. Techniques from the Masters of Rhodes were transmitted to the Murti Makers of Pure Land Buddhism and Vaishnavism at centers like Gandhara and Mathura.     </p>
<p>In these related P L Buddhist and Vaishnava Traditions, to avoid desecration of a Sacred Murti of the Lord or Shakti, if there is no other way to protect Sri Murti, the Form of the Lord or Shakti must be buried or cast into a deep body of water!  Where this was not accomplished, the Iconoclasts (Murti smashers) delighted in disfiguring, beheading and dismembering the so-called &#8216;Cult Images&#8217; of the ancient Mediterranean Region. They also defaced and destroyed countless other works of Sacred Art.  This is why the bottom of the Mediterranea Sea is littered with countless &#8216;Cult Images&#8217; from the tiny home-shrine type to great Temple Murtis weighing tons.  Such Murtis were deposited there before or after desecration, to protect then form further insult and injury.  Burying Murtis on land was an alternative to burial at sea.  Thus many more such &#8216;Cult Images&#8217; will no doubt be found as research progresses in areas that were once invaded and ruled by Muslims or other Iconoclasts.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[From Bhakti Ananda Goswami:  Dear Friends, Please let me clarify that this Map is only a &#039;snapshot&#039; in time of ONE example of the central theme of my interdisciplinary Master&#039;s Thesis, which is that the Great Bhakti Divine Love and Grace Traditions of the ancient World were all historically and theologically related to each other, worshiping the PERSONS of the SAME TRIUNE Transcendental-Mediating-Immanent GODHEAD.  This Most Holy Trinity was HERU-AUSU-ATUM (Helios) in Egypt, ELI-YAHU-ADON/M in Israel and Judea, and HARI-VASU-ATMAN in India.  Ausu, Yahu or Vasudeva was also manifest as HARA, thus Krishna-Vishnu was also called HARI-HAR(A).  This is seen in the Jewish Tradition of the compound Holy Name of ELI-EL and the Egyptian compound Holy Name of HERU-HOR.  HERU-HOR = ELI-EL = HARI-HAR.  These Two Brothers, Krishna (Hari) and Baladeva (Har) are NOT Siva and Vishnu as Mohini Murti.  

The Map above only shows the close physical proximity of the Heliopolitan Greeks, to the centers of the Pure Land Buddhists and Vaishnavas of that Era. Factually many of them were studying at the same temples and universities, and visiting the same masters and schools.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Friends and Family,  The above Book (?) is NOT written by me. I cited it from another facebook Page for Gaura Purnima, with an introductory comment by me on facebook. I did not intend for the content of the authorless Book to be published here on this site of my collected works. Again: I did NOT write this article, compiling these Gaudiya Vaishnava References, and I do not know who did. If someone knows who the Author of this Article is, please add that information here!  My only other comment is that the unknown Author has cited the Maha Bhavishya Purana, but that authentic Vaishnava Scripture was redacted during the last Dynasty of the Kings of Kashmir, so the &#039;prophetic&#039;  reference in it to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is not actually authentically pre-Caitanya Era.]]></description>
