HINDUISM, SIKHISM AND ISLAM: ARE THESE GOD'S RELIGIONS
CHAPTER 4
Biblical Identity of Manu, Rama, Krishna, Indra, Kaali Maa
I have written two ancient history books titled Satan vs God Volumes 1 and 2, citing many ancient sources and findings of archaeology. The first book covers world history from the very beginning of creation of angels and then the material universe to creation of mankind to Noah’s Flood above 4300 years ago, and the second volume covers human history from the Flood to about 4 centuries after the Flood. This extremely brief summary on the identity of Manu, Rama and Krishna, Indra and Kaali Maa is provided from that history.
After the creation of Adam and Eve, their first son Cain murdered his own righteous brother. Thereafter, he was separated from the rest of Adam’s children. The story of one branch of Cain’s family is told in the Bible in Genesis 4:16-25:
“16 And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. 17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch 18 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech. 19 And Lamech took unto him two wives [he was the first to originate polygamy. Adah was racially white and Zillah was black. He himself was non-white. So he also originated interracial marriages]: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. 20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle. 21 And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ [he was the inventor of musical instruments and the greatest musician of his day]. 22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron [he discovered the art of smelting ores and producing metals and alloys. This gave the family incredible superiority in weapons. Tubalcain went on a conquering expedition and conquered and killed wherever he went. After the family had deified themselves as gods, Tubalcain made metal idols of his family and installed them in temples dedicated to members of his family where people were told to come and worship them. Thus idol worship originated with this family]: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah [she invented textiles, and was a warrior herself with her family]. 23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; you wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding [he claims he killed an older man], and a young man to my hurt [claims that he killed a young man also]. 24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.”
After killing his brother, Cain went from bad to worse. He deified himself as a god, having swallowed Satan’s lie that he had an immortal soul, hence was already a god. His descendants also deified themselves. Ancestor worship originated among the children of Cain.
Lamech was Cain’s most famous descendant. He was the leading man of violence in the world, and literally the only man in the history of mankind to have ruled the entire world at one time with no challengers. He achieved that by murdering his own ancestor Cain, and also his son Tubalcain who had vied with him for control of the world. He was also the first polygamist in the Bible, and initiated interracial marriages, as the brief account of his activities quoted above describes.
These individuals were so famous that their stories have come down to us in the form of myths. Before the Flood, Cain and his descendants who were under his control originated ancestor worship and styled themselves as the Titan gods. Lamech and his family also deified themselves and styled themselves as the Olympian gods. Today Cain is known as the god Kronos, Lamech as the god Zeus of the Greeks, Jupiter of the Romans and Indra of the Indians. His signature weapon was the thunderbolt in myths of all three peoples. In reality, the weapon was a javelin, but was mythologized into a thunderbolt after the Flood. Jabal was the most ancient Hercules; Jubal the musician is Apollo, Tubalcain is Hephaestus of the Greeks and Vulcan of the Romans and Naamah is the goddess Athena of the Greeks, Minerva of the Romans and Kaali Maa (meaning black mother) of the Indians, because she was a black negro woman.
Because of the violence and wickedness of Lamech and his descendants, and for deifying themselves and forcing the world to worship them, God decided to drown the entire world, saving only Noah, his wife, his three sons Shem, Ham and Japheth, and their 3 wives. But Naamah the daughter of Lamech survived the Flood as the wife of Ham.
Noah was white racially and his three sons were also racially white. But Shem had married a white woman, Ham the black Naamah and Japheth had married an oriental looking woman, a descendant of Cain. That’s how the various races originated after the Flood.
From the Bible account, let’s look at the descendants of Ham and Naamah in Genesis 10:6-10, “6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. 7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. 8 And Cush begot Nimrod.
The eldest son of Ham is Cush, whose other name is Ethiopia. Cush also means black. Did you notice, one of the sons of Cush is named Raamah. This is most likely the Rama of Indian tradition. Then the account says Cush begot Nimrod. It does not call Nimrod his son. The reason is this. Cush being a negro looking black had married a sister and had sons. But when Noah and his father Ham were away on a journey, Cush, at about age 80, seduced or raped a young white girl aged around 20 years named Semiramis, a descendant of Japheth. Nimrod was the result of that relationship. That’s why the Bible does not call him Cush’s son. Nimrod was born black and grew up to be a very powerful giant of a young man. He was born approximately 20-25 years after the birth of Raamah.
Interracial marriages had been one of the causes of pre-Flood violence. After the Flood God decided to separate the races by having various races colonize different regions of the earth. To send out colonies, Noah took a 10-year long journey with his sons to scope out where and how best to send out the colonies. While they were away Cush seduced or raped Semiramis resulting in the birth of Nimrod.
The Bible account continues in Genesis 10:8, “he [Nimrod] began to be a mighty one in the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. 10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.”
This briefest of accounts is jam-packed with information. Details can be filled from secular history in the books titled ‘The Two Babylons’ by Alexander Hyslop and ‘Antiquities of the Jews’ by the Jewish historian Josephus. This is what happened. After the Flood, wild beasts like lions, leopards, wolves, bears etc multiplied much faster than humans and began to attack humans. Nimrod rose to the occasion and organized hunting parties to hunt down wild animals, thus driving them away from human habitations. Nimrod thus began to be viewed as a savior of mankind.
While Noah had been away on the journey, Naamah then began to tell the stories of how before the Flood her father Lamech and her family ruled the world. This excited the imagination of many, including Cush and Asshur, (a white man, the ancestor of the modern Germans) the son of Shem. They began to develop visions of ruling the world.
When Noah came back, he did not allow Cush to marry the white Semiramis whom he had seduced. So Cush and Nimrod began to realize that they would be racially separated. Cush and Asshur also realized that if humans were spread out over the earth, their dreams of ruling the world would be shattered.
After some time, Noah and his son Shem began preparing to send out groups of people to colonize different areas. But Cush, Nimrod, Asshur and a slight majority of the population rebelled against God’s colonization plan and set up their own god, worship system, and built a tower as a worship sanctuary and began building a city. Their plans were to take over the world, and if needed, to assassinate Noah and Shem.
The god they had set up was the Sun-serpent-fire god. This was their reasoning. They were rebelling against the true God and Noah. They reasoned that the God of Noah had drowned the entire world, and what He was telling them to do was not in their best interests. They hated His laws and ‘restrictions.’ They remembered another ‘god’ in the Garden of Eden who had enlightened the first human beings, Adam and Eve, and told them, and then Cain and his descendants that they did not need to follow the God’s ways, but could develop their own knowledge, own civilization, and do what was in their best interests. Naamah would have familiarized them with this god, the Serpent in the Garden of Eden. They reasoned that they did not get their physical abundance from the God of Noah, but from the sun-god, because the sun-god caused their crops to grow for food.
Thus, they created a ‘god’ of their own. The sun became a favorite object of worship because of the light and heat it gives. [That is the significance of the Sun Dynasty in the Gita that Krishna refers to.] The two enlighteners, the Serpent in the Garden of Eden as the spiritual enlightener, and the sun as the physical enlightener, became associated together in worship. That is how one of the commonest symbols of the sun-god became a disc with a serpent around it (Bunsen’s Hieroglyphics, Vol I, p. 497).
Later Nimrod also started fire worship, with fire being regarded as an earthly representation of the sun. That’s how the god became the Sun-fire-serpent god.
God intervened by destroying their tower and confusing the language of mankind. Because people of different races could no longer communicate with one another as they now had different languages, they were forced to move away from Babylon to the areas God had allotted them in His colonization plan.
Even though Cush, Nimrod, Semiramis and Asshur’s attempts to build a world-ruling empire suffered a set-back, they began to pick-up the pieces by building cities for people to dwell in. Genesis 10:10 lists these cities, “10 And the beginning of his [Nimrod’s] kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar” which is in modern day Iraq. The world population at this time had reached to about 10,000 people.
To better organize the people, Cush assigned duties to various people and forced them to stay within the bounds of their duties. Some were assigned duties as warriors, others as farmers and traders, others to keep the cities clean. They themselves became priests of their god. These assigned duties were passed on in the families from fathers to sons. People and their children were not allowed to choose what they wanted to do. These divisions became rigid. This was the origin of the caste system in India and in some form in Egypt as well.
Because of this rigid assignment of duties, the system became very oppressive. Nimrod began to use brutality to keep people under his control. Josephus states in his Antiquities, “He [Nimrod] also gradually changed the government into Tyranny.”
At this time, under Satan’s influence, Nimrod introduced an innovation for the first time in his worship system: human and infant sacrifices. Here is what the book "The Two Babylons" says on p. 231, “Now, this is in exact accordance with the character of the Great Head of the system of fire-worship. Nimrod, as the representative of the devouring fire to which human victims, and especially children, were offered in sacrifice, was regarded as the great child-devourer…”
The human population was still in the tens of thousands, and all still lived close to Babylon. That’s why Nimrod and Semiramis’ worship system was spread to all of humanity at that time, including Rama and his children. Rama and Nimrod would have met each other quite regularly.
Cush and Nimrod were also reintroducing interracial marriages forcibly. Eventually, because of Cush and Nimrod’s oppression, first Cush was driven out of Babylon. He went to Ethiopia with some of his children with typical African hair. Later Nimrod was also booted out and went to Egypt and ruled there.
Because of all his evils, and introduction of human and infant sacrifices, God decided that Nimrod should be executed. This is the first person in the history of mankind to have been ordered to be executed. Shem the son of Noah went to Egypt and being an eloquent man convinced 70 Egyptian princes to help execute Nimrod. When Nimrod heard about it, he attacked Shem and his allies. Nimrod’s forces were defeated, and he fled to Italy. Shem found him about a year later and executed him. His body was cut into twenty pieces and sent to all peoples as a warning to all those who would worship the false Sun-Fire-Serpent god. The world population was around 90,000 at that time.
When she learnt Nimrod was dead, Semiramis fled from Egypt. After 30 years when she felt it safe, she returned to Egypt. She then began the deification of Nimrod. Diodorus in his Historical Library (Book I, Chapter 2, p. 27-29) explains what she did.
Semiramis diligently collected all the parts of his body, ‘closed all the pieces together, cementing them with wax and aromatic spices, and so brought it to the shape of a man.” Then she had the priests bury him in a secret place known only to them, ‘and to pay unto him all divine honor as to a God. That they should dedicate to him one of the beasts bred among them…[bull was chosen for this purpose], and that while it was alive, they should pay it the same veneration as they did before to Osiris [Egyptian name for Nimrod] himself; and when it was dead, that they should worship it with the same adoration and worship given to Osiris.’
This is the origin of bull worship. But Diodorus continues:
“…his [Nimrod’s] privy-members (they say) were thrown into the river by Typhon, because none of his partners would receive them; and yet they were divinely honored by Isis [Egyptian name for Semiramis, the mother of Nimrod, who had later also married him and was his wife as well]; for she commanded an image of this very part to be set up in the temples, and to be religiously adored; and in all their ceremonies and sacrifices to this god, she ordered that part to be held in divine veneration and honor…The Grecians, after they had learnt the rites and ceremonies…from the Egyptians…adored that member by the name of Phallus.”
That is the origin of Phallus worship, the Shiv linga of the Hindus. Satan can truly induce many human beings to do perverse things in the name of religion.
After Nimrod’s death, his and Semiramis’ worship system did not die down. It just went underground. People still kept worshipping Nimrod and Semiramis, but with symbols. Nimrod began to be worshipped as a bull. His mother and wife Semiramis began to be worshipped as a tree. Indians added the innovation of worshipping Semiramis as a cow. This was called the Babylonian Mystery religion as Semiramis propagated it from her city, Babylon.
To better propagate her religion, Semiramis recruited actual priests, the descendants of Shem’s son Arphaxad who were racially white, who were experts in astronomy, learnt from Noah. She offered them massive financial incentives. No taxes were to be levied on them. They received one third of the land as grants. They also got to keep all the offerings people offered in worship. As they became priests to all human populations in Egypt, all of Europe and the East, they mixed with the local populations. In India their descendants are known as Brahmins.
Because of these incredible financial incentives, the Brahmins had no qualms about propagating what Semiramis told them. Their ongoing financial rewards depended on it.
We have said Rama was a son of Cush. Cush had African looks. Rama was dark skinned but had straight hair like Indians. How did that come about? The answer is that Naamah, an African looking woman had married the white Ham. As a result, some of their children were born with African looks, some swarthy white like the Egyptians, some with African type of hair and some with straight hair. Those traits could also be passed on a generation or two later.
Now let’s trace the migration of Indians from Babylon to India. One part of Cush’s descendants went to Ethiopia. They had African looks and hair whereas the other part with dark, Indian looks and straight hair ultimately settled in India. These would be descendants of Rama, There are many ways they can be identified as descendants of Cush. The reason they separated is that they received different languages when the language of mankind was confused at the destruction of the Tower of Babel.
The name Cush (or Kush, and if vowels are interchanged in pronunciation and writing in different languages, as it can happen over thousands of years, it can be written as Kash, or Kish, and even r can be added in between such as krish for a similar sound) appears in the Hindu Kush mountains and Kash-mir, which indicates their migration route to India. "A few other tell-tale signs of the movement eastwards of the sons of Cush include a land called Kushian, in modern Pakistan. Just to the north of India also lay the land Kashgana. And in the south of India ran a river called Kishna. All of these names are variously derivatives of 'Cush'" (Craig White, In Search of...The Origin of Nations, 2003, pp. 189-190.)
For further proof, the Indian warriors were known as Kassites in history, which is simply a variation of the name Cushites or Kushites. They derive their name from their ancestor Cush or Kush. The name Kshatriya is derived from the name Kushite.
Indians have the most virulent or strict form of the caste system and credit it to Manu. In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna claims that he was Manu in one of his reincarnations. There is nothing in secular history to support that. But Krishna has made other tall claims in the Gita, by attributing the deeds of others, including God, to himself using reincarnation as a device. Manu is thought to have survived the Flood and is believed to be Noah. But Noah being a servant of God could not have created an evil system such as the caste system of India. There is no evidence from history anywhere of Noah having imposed such a system on his descendants.
Cush is listed as the first ruler in Egypt’s first Dynasty under the name Meni or Mena or Menes in Greek. The name means “The Establisher”. He is the real Manu of the Indian tradition, the establisher of man’s civilization in Shinar, and we know that Cush established duties of various people which congealed into the rigid caste system.
Thus, we see that the second branch of Cush migrated to India. With this background, we can now see who Krishna was, as we have already identified Rama as the son of Cush, who with his descendants migrated to India.
The name Krishna can be identified with Cush as the sound is so similar to Kish. But Krishna is not Cush, as other clues clearly point to him being Nimrod. One clue is that Cush was driven out of Babylon and went to Ethiopia. After that his descendants with the straight hair like the Indians had no contact with him at all. But they had regular contact with Nimrod for 28 years in and around Babylon, till Nimrod was also driven out of Babylon. However, Nimrod still worked to maintain his rule over other peoples except the Babylonians. He thus maintained contact with Indians, including Rama for another 28 years till he was finally slain by Shem. After that Rama and his descendants had close contact with Semiramis and the religion she had started in which Nimrod had the most prominent place as a god for another 160 years. The priests, the Brahmins learnt that religion well and of course continued to make further innovations on their own through the centuries. That’s how Nimrod’s human sacrifices changed to Sati, and infant sacrifices found their way into Indian religions.
Only Indians worship the cow and calf. Since bull worship is identified with Nimrod, Semiramis began to be worshipped as a cow by the Indians because she was his mother. Nimrod being her son, he became the calf in the cow-calf worship in India. Krishna was dark in color. So was Nimrod. Krishna is also described as a seducer of girls, or womanizer, particularly white women, the gopis, who are always pictured as white women. That too describes the activities of Nimrod immediately after the Flood.
Next consider various Indian gods or ‘avtars’, meaning reincarnation of previous gods. Rama is considered the reincarnation of the god Vishnu. Indra of the Indian myths, Zeus of the Greeks and Jupiter of the Romans has been identified as Lamech in the Bible. Since Lamech existed before the Flood, Indra is not considered a reincarnation of any god. Reincarnation of a god means that in real life, the person who has been deified existed after the Flood. That’s why the half-brothers Rama and Krishna, born 20-25 years apart are considered avatars of Vishnu. This way we can place Krishna and Rama correctly in real history. Because Rama was the older of the two, the Mahabharata [written after the Ramayana] acknowledges the existence of Rama whereas the Ramayana does not acknowledge the existence of Krishna.
