Christianity copied sauryam ( sun worship)

I have been deliberating over the various commonalities and the things that Christianity has also copied from Hinduism I have that separate blog about how Islam copied from Hinduism here is the list of things that I find familiar and almost identical between the sun worshiping cult of Hinduism and Christianity 

1. Jesus story matches that of mitra a pagan God. Mitra is another name for some God himself 
2. Jesus had 12 disciples and the son God has 12 adityas 
3. In the aitireya samhita there is an aphorism: janmana jayate sudraha samskarat dwija iccheste: this essentially is the concept of being born a sinner and then through various rituals you become a twice born essentially the concept of baptism 
4. The crown of Jesus which is a thorny crown is essentially the Sun with its rays 
5. Christianity while born in the Middle East took off in the icy Europe and what do we need in Europe we need more sun and hence they gravitated towards some worship even without knowing it. 
6. The concept of 10% donation to your church is an ancient brahminical practice where a student graduating from a guru commits 10% of his income to the upkeep of the guru's school 
7. Christians do not like when someone going to their Church even visits a church of a different denomination. This concept is essentially what the various schools of thoughts in Hinduism also had. But maybe this is more of a tribal issue the tribal mentality of the human mind no one has to teach this to us we just are that.
8. There is actual evidence that early Christianity did believe in reincarnation of the human soul and then they realized that people were like basing their current life thinking they can fix it in the future life and and to control people sinning they thought this was a better option and change their theology. And the incarnation of the human soul is the central tenet of all Hinduism not just the sun worshiping cult. 
9. The whole methodology in which everyone if you look at the Catholic way of praying and even any Christian praying they take their hand and move it up and down and toward their shoulders left and right it is essentially exactly how I have seen vaishnavites do it in their daily practice of course over time and space there will be some sort of modulation and I'm also betting the sun worshiping cult also have similar practices the problem is not enough is known about the sun worshiping cult of India because most probably it got completely destroyed in the Islamic invasions including their books that might have been in the libraries that got burnt out at least I don't have enough information about them.

David Bohm and Advaita Vedanta

Found an extraordinary piece today on scientific American. Its an interview with Dr. Basil Hailey. The entire script can be found here . The following are the excerpts of the entire interview. Read it, and make your own call: GM :Tell me some of those ideas that you played with. BH: We were interested in undivided whole. How do you describe wholeness without breaking it up into pieces? Bohr said you can’t analyze any further: don’t make the division between the subject and the observing apparatus, because everything is a whole, and as soon as you break it into pieces, you’ve lost it; you’ve changed the phenomenon. I took a lot of insight from Bohr. If you read our book, we never say Bohr was wrong, whereas most other people say Copenhagen is nonsense. What we disagreed with Bohr about is that he couldn’t analyze it further. What we’ve been trying to do is analyze it further. Our idea was to say, yes, you can do it. You can talk about the individual, but it’s the qua...

Entropy and the concept of Yuga in Sanatana Dharma

One of the most common ideas on time in the Sanatana Dharma is the concept of Yugas. As far as I know there are 4 Yugas (which also possibly repeat themselves), but in general the four of them are : Satya Yuga Treta Yuga: SreeRama Dwapara Yuga: Sree Krishna Kali Yuga And if you read about these yugas in any of our scriptures, be the Puranas, or the Bhagwath Geeta, the Bhagavatham, but there is a strong agreement in every school of thought regarding the yugas. Now, what does this have anything to do with the second law of Thermodynamics: Law of Entropy I just read through chapter six of the Fabric of the Cosmos by Dr. Brian Greene (obviously I watched the PBS Nova show as well, but I waited till I read the book to blog on this concept for better clarity). Chapter six talks about the conundrum of how classical physics and our common perception of time are related to entropy. A vastly complicated topic for the purposes of this blog. But here is the gist: The re...

Happiness and what we should really be asking for.

Image
One of the posts on facebook by Eknath Easwaran's page said this recently on facebook: Happiness has nothing to do with having two cars in the garage, or a terraced swimming pool, or the latest dress from Paris.  "Happiness lies within us, and the more desires we have for this and that, the less happy we are going to be.  "Nothing we can buy, nothing we can own can ever fill the aching void within us, and the restlessness of modern living is really a signal from the Lord that it is time to turn inwards and find the source of all joy, wisdom, and security in our own hearts." - Eknath Easwaran, from "Like a Thousand Suns", volume 2 of "The Bhagavad Gita for Daily Living" I realized this every time I've been miserable in America, driving a car I never dared dream I'd drive, driving super bikes I never dared dreamed I would own, talking on the most advanced cell phone I never dreamed I'd be talking on, comfortable in perfectly ...
