Vrindavan Parker’s Book on the History of Religion & Civilization

The Serpent The Eagle The Lion & The Disk

By Brannon Parker

Paperback, 469 Pages

The Serpent The Eagle The Lion & The Disk(NOTE: Currently being updated)

‘The Serpent, the Eagle, the Lion and the Disk’ The preeminent symbols of the sacred in the ancient world. The Ancients associated these symbols with the Divine. Many theories have been developed regarding these symbols yet the mystery still remains. This is particularly true of the aniconic winged disk symbol. How and why does the same symbol have the same meaning to so many people of diverse cultures and civilizations? Was it the symbol of an all-conquering triumphalist Egyptian or Sumerian Empire or perhaps of a vanished race from beyond the stars? Or is it a representation of a universal transcendent experience? The pieces of this puzzle have long been scattered throughout history, hidden amongst the mystical traditions of the world. Unravel the truly astounding and majestic history of religion, civilization and God. This book represents a Startling Revelation and a Revolutionary New Look at the Origins of Humanity’s Common Mystical Experience, its Religion, Culture and the Rise of Civilization. Researching and writing on this subject represents a tremendous journey into the ancient world, with all its mystery and splendor. Rather than soulless brutal stories of ‘burial cults’, ‘survival of the fittest’ and ‘scheming priests and kings’ scenarios, it was refreshing to recognize that the roots of civilization are genuinely positive. Civilization originally developed as a reflection of humanity’s spiritual inclinations. As an example when cities were built, they were built and architecturally planned as forms of Purusha (God), thus they are called ‘pur, puri, burry, borough, burg’, etc. The research shows that, rather than similar Gods and Goddesses being worshiped in these ‘boroughs’ throughout the world, it was the same God and Goddess being worshiped. Our common and long forgotten history reveals the diverse and unique methods that multitudes of cultures interacted with these same divinities. Civilization and culture are but reflections of the depth of Humanity’s conscious connection with the ‘Sacred’.

  1. Dear Brannon, Last night we picked up your book from the post office! After Prasadam and getting settled for the evening, Dad brought your book in for me, and I read the dedication aloud to him. Then as I started to read the first page, Dad went into the kitchen and saw the time on the stove clock. Then he rushed back in to tell me the time, and I looked at the clock on my computer and it was…10:08! So, I began reading your Book at the auspicious time of 10:08! Today Dad spent a while perusing it and was very impressed. I have been reading it with great interest. You have studied these things a lot and it really shows. I am pleased with your efforts to investigate these connections on your own, to collect, sort and organize the information and to form your own well-thought-out opinions of the ancient relationships between thw Great Bhakti Traditions. God Ess willing, I will get the time and energy to write some words of appreciation for your 2nd, 3rd, 4th, & 5th etc. printings of this Book!

    All Glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga, to Srila Prabhupada, to all of the Saints of East and West, and to your humble service at Their Lotus Feet!

    HARA HARI HARE bol!

      • Dear Sir..

        I am doing reasearch on the VEDIC ORIGINS OF THE WORLD …I firmly believe in this concept and trying to get all resourceful books based on the same..The world has not been appreciative of our civilisation , its gifts of knowledge and has mocked us away after grasping what they could labelling as their own.But they dont have what we have in bountiful.On on one interaction with the almighty and gurus who show us the way ..

        I feel blessed to have an interaction with you and look forward to have a copy of my own.

        Thankyou Guruji ..

        JAI SHRI HARI !

    pamho pr,
    myself shyam murari das .. i am a disciple of HHRNSM. I came across the work of HHBASM four months ago and since then i have been reading them on regular basis. I am very much inspired by the work done by maharaja and got some idea of the work which maharaj did. I would be very happy if a copy of this book can be arranged for me in India. Indeed after reading the articles i was so inspired that i am too seriously planning to make this as my research field on inter bhakti research and thereby preaching and propagating the same among intellect and the common mass for bringing about unity among all class of people from all religions to love and serve the same lord, who manifested himself in different way at different place. i would also like to know if Maharaj has some plan for further research and propagation in this field and if i can do.

  7. Haribol, Hare Krishna,
    I just came to this beautiful magnificent site by chance – and I’m delighted, above all that I see that I’m not the only one who discovered with great joy that Balaram and Jesus Christ are identic – and many other things on here! I have to come back soon and study all this! Thank you so much for this huge gift!!!!!!!!!

  8. Shrimannamaste.,
    Following is the answer to an Article written by some scholar which was published in Yahoo.mail. According to him such idol of VishNu was 4000 yr old found in Viet-Nam.Perhaps he found such information as an ear say.My very short answer was as follows:-[Quote–

    Shrimannamaste.
    I visited Viet-Nam in 2008 (May) and moved from one site to another in extinct CHAMPA Hindu Dynasty which is spread over a region of ‘Danang’.I obtained many books on this subject and read other articles related to this subject along with the History of Cambodia and THAILAND because in the same period [almost] Hindu dynasty was established in the whole region including the area of Laos. In Champa Hindu kingdom was first established in 198 CE in Viet-Nam. I have got my own photographs snapped by the side of many temples, Idols and vestiges of Chapa Nagar. I have written an article giving the entire list of all kings in successive order of Champa kingdom which was appreciated by great scholars of Viet-Nam like 1-Tran Ky Phuong [Writer of ‘Vestiges of Champa Civilization’],2- Huynh Thi Duoc[Writer of-‘Champa Sculpture and Indian Mythology’]
    If some body wants to go through in detail may go read books like 1-” My So’n” relics by Ngo Van Doanh,2-“Champa”-Ancient Towers :Reality & Legend by Ngo Van Doanh, 3-” World Heritage SITES IN VIET-NAM by Viet-Nam National Administration of Tourism etc. The Hindu Dynasty was uprooted by Viet-Cong Guerilla (Viet-Nam solders) in 1470. This way I see all Vishnu Idols and temples are installed in Champa [in My-So’n=Champa Nagar] during the Hindu kingdom which was later on converted to Buddhist faith.
    Thank you for this sincere efforts
    Truly,
    Shyam nandanah
