American Indian Karna

Note: Originally Written in February 2007

There are many similarities between Vedic culture and the American Indian traditions. In the traditions of the Pueblo (Indians of the SW USA) there is an amazing tale which parallels the story of Karna from the Mahabharata. There are some variations but the similarities are striking. Here is the story, ‘Arrow to the Sun’ as retold by Gerald McDermott. He published it in a children story book form and thus many of the details have been simplified. More research will surely find the parallels an even better match.

“Long ago the Sun God sent the spark of life to Earth. It traveled down the rays of the sun, through the heavens, and it came to the Pueblo. There it entered the house of a Young Maiden. In due course, the Boy came into the world of men. He lived and grew and played in the Pueblo (village).

However the other boys would not let him join in their games. “Where is your father?” they asked. “You have no father!” they mocked him and chased him away. The Boy and his Mother were sad.

One day he said, “Mother, I must look for my father. No matter where he is I must find him.” So the boy left home.

He traveled through the world of men and came to the Corn Planter. “Can you lead me to my father?” he asked. Corn planter said nothing, but continued to tend his crops.

The boy went to the Pot Maker. “Can you lead me to my father?” Pot Maker said nothing, but continued making his pots.

Then the boy went to the Arrow Maker, who was a wise man. “Can you lead me to my father?” Arrow Maker did not answer, but, because he was wise, he saw that the Boy had come from the Sun God. So he created a special arrow. The Boy became the Arrow.

Arrow Maker fitted the Boy to his bow and drew it. The Boy flew into the Heavens. In this way the Boy traveled to the Sun.

After meeting the Sun God, and passing his tests, father and son rejoiced. The Boy was transformed and filled with the power of the Sun. “Now you must return to Earth, my son, and bring my spirit to the world of men.” Said the Sun God.

Once again the Boy became the Arrow. When the arrow reached the Earth, the Boy emerged and went to the Pueblo.

The People celebrated his return in the Dance of Life.”

Anyone familiar with the Mahabharata story of Karna can see the similarities. I will point out the obvious ones.

Date 1598–99 AD

The Sun God is Suryadeva. The Maiden who received the spark of life through his rays is the Maiden Princess, Kunti. The Boy is Karna. The other boys who would not let him join in their games are the Pandavas who mocked Karna for not knowing who his father was.

The Corn Planter and Pot Maker represent the teachers Drona and Kripa. The Arrow Maker represents Parashurama, who accepted Karna as his disciple and made him the greatest archer on earth.

Of course there are many points in the Mahabharata story that don’t seem represented here but since the source is a modern retelling of an ancient Pueblo Indian tale, thousands of years of separation from the original version will always create variations. This phenomenon can be found in Vedic culture itself. Example: Hanuman is a well known Brahmacari yet in Thailand he is married.

It is hoped more research and cultural exchanges can be done in the ongoing search for Humanities Ancient World Vedic Heritage.

Vedic Brahma & Apache Kuterastan

Native American Storyteller
American Indian Storyteller

Note: Originally written May 2009

Kuterastan is the creator in the creation story of the Kiowa Apache from the southern plains of North America. His name means One Who Lives Above.

The Creation Story of the American Kiowa Apache Indians is very similar to the Vedic Creation Story. Both the Apache creator Kuterastan and the Vedic Creator Lord Brahma appear on a disc shaped object. Brahma sits on the yellow whorl of the lotus and Kuterastan sits on a yellow disc. Both Look around themselves in the four directions and observe an effulgent sea beneath them. Both have the number 4 as a significant component in their beginnings.

They both meditate and sing and they both have the task to create all things. Both Brahma and Kuterastan awaken from a long sleep before they begin the creation process.

The plate identifies numerous important spiritual beings including Chalhkelh Naliin the Night Girl; Kuterastan the Creator of All; Steatliha was the first Apache created and served as the Chief Goddess and first assistant to Kuterastan; Chuganaai Skhin was the second Apache created – he gave light to day and had the power to cure disease with the first light of day. Also depictions of the Sun, Moon and a maltase cross that represents the four personages who created the stars. Source

Apache Swastikas and Apache Holy Crosses add another Vedic dimension to Ancient American Culture. These images are from the book The North American Indian by Edward S. Curtis with a forward by former US President Theodore Roosevelt and featured in part two of this article. (Note: the images mentioned are in the book linked above.)

Both the cross and the Swastika are used by the Apaches to symbolize Divinities. This is another clue reminding us that the Swastika and the Holy Cross are both variations of the same symbol. There is also an authentic Apache ceremonial painting representing the Apache Creation Process. The links are provided for both the Apache source and and the Vedic source. Perhaps there are many more such similarities to be discovered.

Brahmâ, born out of the lotus flower, could not see the world, although he was situated in the whorl. He therefore circumambulated all of space, and while moving his eyes in all directions he achieved four heads in terms of the four directions.The panorama derided the green and coral of the evening splendor of the sun and the great and golden of the mountain summits with their jewels of waterfalls and herbs, and so was the scenery of flowers and trees [but] the adornment of His hands and legs.’Who am I, this one on top of the lotus? Where did this lotus come from? Surely there is something in the water below. Whether it sprouted of its own or not, it must belong to something else!’ Source

Ancient Africa’s Supreme Lord Olu is Heru-Eli-Hari

‘Serpent of Life and Eternity’ West Africa Yoruba Wooden Bowl, Museum of Mankind, London

By Bhakti Ananda Goswami

According to some scholarly estimates, as much as 8o% of all African Indigenous Religions are still worshiping One Supreme Father (and Mother) God. Who is that God?

Study the Niger-Kordofanian Language Family and the Supreme Lord Olu of the Yoruba Etc. Olu is clearly the Same Supreme Deity as the Prehistoric Egyptian’s Heru the Elder and the Greek’s Kouros Helios of Rhodes. This Supreme Deity is the Jew’s Eli (Eli-Yahu) and the Arab’s Ali (Eloah is Allah). This is the Vaishnava’s Hari-Vasu (and Hari-Hara).

Ancient Benin Bronze, British Museum

In the previous (Prehistoric) Earth Age,
All of the Tribes of Humanity worshiped the Vedic Adi Purusha = Krishna – Baladeva – Paramatman

The Whole Trinity of Hari-Vasu-Param Atman is also there, as well as Srimati Radha Rani and Her Shakti (Shekinah) Expansions!

OLU is the name of the Supreme Father God, HARI in the Niger-Kordofanian Language Family. Thus we have the SAME FATHER GOD belonging to the African Yoruban religious family, the Egyptian religious family and monotheistic (Platonic Heliopolitan related) ‘pagan’ Europeans. This same God is the Yahweh, Jehovah and Allah of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

‘Ancestral Shrine’ Earliest known photograph of Oba’s compound, Benin City, May 1891.

He is the same God within the Persian traditions including the still extant Zoroastrianism or Parseeism, the earliest Sumero-Tamil/Dravidian religion, and the Great Eastern Salvific Bhakti Traditions of Krishna-Vishnu (and Rama etc.) The same God is Shiva and he is Buddha of the Pure Land Buddhist Amitabha/Amida. He is Father Heaven/Yang to Kuan Yin in China.

All of the Tribes of Humanity worshiped the Vedic Adi Purusha, or Krishna-Baladeva-Paramatman, in the previous (Prehistoric) Earth Age, whether such worship was appropriately tending toward the ‘Mode’ of Sattvic Goodness, or it was in the Rajarshic Mode of Passion, or in the Tamasic Ignorance.

Please seriously study the Non-‘White’ so-called ‘Non-Aryan’ Civilizations of the Prehistoric and Early ‘High Civilizations’ of this World Age. Before they all descended into divisive Ethno-Centric Forms of Tribal and Racist Astrological Patron-Deity Polytheism, they were United in their Worship of the One True God, Heru-Ausu-Atum / Hari-Vasu-Atman.

Original Buddhism of Egypt BC vs the Later Atheistic ‘An-Atta’ Buddhism of Today

Note: This is a Response from Sri Bhakti Ananda Goswami to my article “Ancient Book-Burnings: Theravadin Monks Burn Buddha’s Words in Pyre ‘Seven Elephants High’ After several years hiatus, The Collected Works of Sri Bhakti Ananda Goswami website is once again up and running and back in service in the capable hands of Elijah Dobkins. Both new and vintage treasures from the last half a century of Bhakti Ananda Maharaj’s work are being uploaded on a daily basis. A vast catalog of rare, ancient historical treasures of forgotten yet undeniable truth awaits! BP

The Creator Ptah/Budha

Regionally and locally, case-by-case, the ‘original Buddhism’ claims of the atheistic no-self an-atta (Pali Language source related) Theravadin Buddhists can and must be completely debunked for the restoration of the truth about the originally Vaishnava related Pure Land (Sanskrit Scripture based) Mahayana Buddhism.

The Vaishnava-related Bhakti Buddhism of the Divine Tri Kaya Trinity of Pure Land Buddhism was a purely Other-Power salvific PERSONAL ATMA POSITIVE Tradition of Love and Grace!  This ORIGINAL BUDDHISM can be traced back to thousands of years BC in Egypt, where it developed as the specifically Afro-Heleno-Semitic Ptah School of Heru-Ausur (Osiris)-Atum Sokar-Ptah at the devotional Ausar-Sokar-Ptah Capital City of Memphis.  This Heru-Ausu-Atum School of Ptah (Budh) as The Opener (open eyes mean alive and awake!) was very popular with the DIKSHA / DISCIPLINE schools of the ascetics and philosophers / intellectuals throughout the Region. 

It is this PTAH / BUDH ‘Awakened’ School of the Divine Awakener, Heru-Ausu (Ausar Osiris)-Atum (Aton / Adon / Adam Kadmon / Atum / Aten ATMAN), that was part of the larger primal Heru-Ausu-Atum Tradition.  Before the rise of the deviant atheistic School of the no-self / an-atta Material Atomists, there was no such thing as the atheistic so-called Theravadin Buddhism that we have today.

The Primal Revelation’s Egyptian Supreme Aton / Atum / Sanskrit Param Atman / Amarna’s Aten / Heliopolis’s Adon (Jewish Adon-Yahu) was the Immanent Lord of the Heart, the All-Pervasive Third Person of the Most Holy Trinity, the Rupa Kaya of the Pure Land Buddhist Tri Kaya (Buddhist Sanskrit Kaya=Egyptian KA) Trinity.  He Aton / Adon-Yahu  was the Singular Egyptian Per-Ausu  / Greek Polieus / Sanskeit Purusha (giving / masculine) Divine Lover of the plural and receiving / feminine ‘BA / HEVA / EVE / HEBE, Sanskrit JIVA atmas…the infinite number of autonomous, finite soul-selves.  

Before the rise of the atheistic ‘Material Atomism’ corruptions of the Divinely Revealed Love Affair (Hieros Gamos Bridal Mysticism) of the Param Atma and the jiva atma, there was no developed thought system or historically identifiable school of no-self ‘Buddhism’.  

So the an-atta / no-self atheistic form of Theravadin Buddhism was related to the historical development of the deviant school of the Greek ‘Material Atomists’ of Democritus. The atheistic or Maya-vadi schools of ‘Hinduism’ and the Mediterranean schools of GNOSTICISM were also historically related to the rise of Material Atomism. 

ATMAN-ism in the Afro-Heleno-Semitic Mediterranean Region was ORIGINALLY the primal Monotheistic Religion of the omnipresent Supreme Self of Heru-Ausu / Heli-Os / Eli-Yahu / Allah, and the finite HBA / HEVA / EVA JIVA-soul Beloved of HERU / HARI, the Loving Lord of every Hari-Daya HEART / HRID.  

By de-personalizing the infinite Supreme ATMA and the finite jiva atma, the ‘Material Atomists’ promoted their NO-SELF atheism everywhere.  Those that were deviants of the Memphite Ptah (Budh)Tradition carried out their militantly atheistic campaign as no-self ‘Buddhists’.  

Nyorin Kannon is Narayana Krishna. Besides both being recorded in the 1400 year old texts as the Consort of Mahasri Lakshmi, they share all the same attributes, associates, symbols, emblems and ritualistic traditions. Long Worshipped as Lord Buddha within the Japanese Tradition, historical evidence confirms that Kannon worship predates the arrival of Buddhism in Japan.

Kichijoten – Sri Lakshmi the National Treasure of Modern Japan

摩訶室利, 功德天女, 吉祥天女, 功德天 “KICHIJŌTEN – Skt. = Sri Laksmi, Mahasri: Identified with Laksmi, name of the goddess of fortune and beauty frequently in the later mythology identified with Śrī and regarded as the wife of Visnu or Narayana, she sprang from the ocean with a lotus in her hand, whence she is also called Padmā, and is connected in other ways with the lotus.” Soothill’s Dictionary of Chinese Buddhist Terms

“Originally, Kichijoten was imported into Buddhism from Hinduism, being known as Laksmi, the goddess of beauty and prosperity. This painting is likely to have been the central worshipping piece, if not its important element, of Japanese Buddhist rituals during the Nara period (701-794). She has crescent-shaped eyebrows with full cheeks, and moves leisurely and gracefully in a striking multi-layered attire, like a Chinese beauty of the Tang dynasty, China (618-907). Yet a sacred gem on her left hand and her transparent shawl fluttering gently in the wind as she walks suggests her heavenly nature. Its renderings are not only delicate and elegant, but also infused with a stately Buddhist serenity of its own, and the painting radiates a special charm. Paintings dating back to the Nara period are a rarity even in Japan. Invaluable as a Buddhist painting, its opulent and noble spells are delightful to the eye indeed.” TOKYO NATIONAL MUSEUM”

Vedic Divinities of Japan

NOTE: This highly informative document (below) reveals the many Vedic Divinities still honored today in Japan. It is titled as ‘Hindu Contributions to Japanese Religion.’ However these Vedic cultural elements of Japanese Tradition predate the historical use of the term Hindu. If we are to use the term ‘Indian’, again that name is of Greek origin. Thus both the terms Hindu and Indian do not appear in any ancient Vedic literature. Yet Vedic culture is Universal to both India, Japan and the entire World..

Today Indians are called Bharatiyas and Bharat is the Indigenous name of India. Yet according to the ancient Vedic scriptures, sages and saints, the entire world was once known as Bharat Varsha. Thus we are all Bharaters or Brothers and all beings on Earth are in fact Bharatiyas. Of course Vedic Sages, from what is now called India, traveled to ancient Japan, but not to bring a ‘man-made new religion.’ Rather they came to reinvigorate the foundational spirituality of the region of Bharat Varsha now known as Nihon or Japan.BP

3 Native Sons, 3 Saintly Souls & 3 Brutal Assassinations

Note: This is an excerpt from a chapter of my book ‘Orissa in the Crossfire,’ titled ‘Some Dare Call it a Conspiracy’

The picture could not be more obvious. Within less than 8 years, three native sons who had risen to the role of leaders amongst their people, who had developed dedicated followings and also happen to be not only active but spectacularly successful in the promotion of Hindu culture, have been eliminated. In an area targeted by Christian terror outfits, Maoist terror or a deadly mix of both, these three native Hindu leaders dedicated their lives to the upliftment of their own people. For that reason alone, they were targeted for elimination.

We find very similar conditions in all three Indian States of Orissa, Manipur and Tripura.

  1. Ongoing violent campaigns
  2. Active, ongoing and focused Christian conversion drives
  3. Large tribal populations
  4. Native spiritual leaders with successful track records in humanitarian and Hindu cultural activism with large local followings
  5. Strategic high resource value areas
  6. All targets of previous threats or attempts upon their lives (Similar to Orissa’s Swami Lakshmananda, Iskcon Manipur and Shanti Kali’s Tripura Temple were frequent targets of threats and protection racket money demands.)
  7. All targeted for assassination on Janmashtami day

Their deaths serve the goals of anti-National forces and radical Abrahamic conversionists.The aggressive attacks parallel each other in terms of method of operation, agenda and action. For this not to be a conspiracy, is beyond belief. Slowly but surely native local Hindu leaders, active within the targeted zones, are being eliminated.

Such figures were potential kingmakers whose one word could influence millions and decide the political outcome of elections. The pattern is clear. Any obstacle to the stated agenda of those dedicated to the dismemberment and debasement of India as a Nation will be removed. Any contender to the various anti-India terror groups for the loyalty of the people will be eliminated.

In 1971 he received spiritual initiation from A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. A few years later he became one of the religious leaders of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (also known as the Hare Krishna Movement).

In the same month, another Hindu leader of the Jamatya community, Jaulushmoni Jamatya, was also murdered.
