Ancient Shaivism and Islam
This is a blog post that is still being composed but below is a list of things that I have so far discovered to be identical between ancient Saivism and Islam.
- Reverse circumambulation
- way of clothing at Hajj
- shaving of head
- direction of prayer
- burial
- the black stone on a silver bowl like object that clearly is a variation of a siva linga on a panavatta
- moon as a symbol
- 3 times -- for truth
- 4 marriages allowed -- only for Brahmins
- 7 heavens and 7 hells — Brahmanda Purana
- The passion of Shiva worship
- quran recitation vs sama veda recitation
- total 72 denominations
- no alcohol rule
- 30 yrs of age in heaven of devatas and of muslims
