In this particular blog, we will try to analyze the Abrahamic texts such as the Jewish Torah , the New Testament or the Christian Bible and the Islamic Quran. We will try to identify the location mentioned as Heaven in these 3 Abrahamic texts. Here at the outset , I do inform that we will need to closely understand how the current mis-interpretation of the Abrahamic texts have resulted in a Special Place called Heaven somewhere in the skies . In reality however the texts are pointing all of us to a secret location on this Planet itself. Don't they say that "Heaven is a Place on Earth ". What if the Abrahamic texts are actually pointing us to this specific place , right here on Planet Earth . Let us begin on this new Journey as we try to locate the secret place on Earth , where this Abrahamic Heaven is located .
The Biblical Texts :
In the Jewish Torah , also in the Christian Bible as well the Islamic Quran, we are informed that at the beginning there were Adam & Eve. We will not get into the creation part of the story as shared in the Genesis account. We however will take note of the fact that , Adam & Eve are said to have lived in the Garden of Eden . There is no denying that all the 3 Abrahamic texts say so. In the Genesis account we are also informed that , 4 Rivers flowed in and out of the Garden of Eden . The 4 Rivers as mentioned in the Genesis account are as per Genesis Chapter 2 verses 10-14 : Pishon , Gihon , Chidekel ( many say the river Tigris ) and Phirat ( many say the river Euphrates )
Further , we also need to note that , in the Garden of Eden , a sin was committed by Eve, the first woman on Earth , who was made out of the rib bone of Adam himself by God , for whetever reasons . Anyways , The Abrahamic texts reveal that Adam was breathed life by God out of dust . However when it came to Eve , God for some odd reasons , decided to remove a rib bone out of Adam and create Eve , when God already had the option of creating Eve as well out of dust . But then , Our God works in mysterious ways , doesn't he ?
Now coming back to the sin committed by Eve . The Genesis account informs us that Eve ate an Apple from The Tree of Knowledge because of a Talking Snake , you read it right , because a Talking Snake lured Eve into doing so ? God for reasons had warned Adam that nobody should eat from the Tree of Knowledge . Knowledge is very dangerous a thing. Ignorance creates more bonding with God , because ignornace and darkness are the reasons that support superstition, and without superstition , even God cannot exist .
However , let us now reflect back to the texts itself. So far we know that :
1) Adam & Eve lived in the Garden of Eden , a Paradise on Earth.
2) 4 Rivers flowed in and out of the Garden of Eden: Pishon , Gihon , Chidekel ( many say the river Tigris ) and Phirat ( many say the river Euphrates )
3) This particular place called Garden of Eden had Apple Trees .
Which location is the Genesis talking to us about ? We need to understand a massive point here . Apple Trees never grow in Sandy soil and requires a temperate climate . Apple trees don't grow in the deserts of Arabia or even in Egypt, known in the ancient world as Ajipati. Aji meaning Serpent . Aji comes from the Sanskrit word " Ahi " meaning Serpent .
Now that we have found out that there is a lacuna when it comes to the Biblical texts in informing us where the Garden of Eden could be, we can atleast be sure that , This particular place is definitely not in Arabia or Egypt . Then where is THE GARDEN OF EDEN located ?
The Swastika :
More or less the entire world has heard if not seen The Symbol of the Swastika. While the Swastika has become a symbol associated with the Nazis , because Hitler used the symbol for his own genocidic adventure during his annihilation of the Jews of Europe . The Swastika symbol's origins are in Hinduism.
Most Hindus including Jains and Buddhists revere the symbol of Swatika as a symbol of Good Luck and Good fortune . But the reality of the truth is entirely different . The Symbol of Swastika is actually a Geographical Location of a secret place on Earth . The Swastika is the ancient geographic map of the Place which people of the Abrahamic faiths call as " Heaven ". But where could this location be ?
The Decent of Ganga from Heaven to her People : King Bhageeratha story
Here , first we will try to understand the Mythological part of the Hindu text, after understanding the mythological story , we will further conduct scientific analysis to understand , what this Hindu mythological account is actually trying to tell us . First the mythology . Keep in mind we are all searching for a location called Heaven and we will not quit , until we find the Location of the Swatika.
Bhageeratha was the king of Kosala, a kingdom in ancient India. He was a descendent of the great king Sagara of the Suryavamsa, or Sun Dynasty. He was one of the forefathers of Lord Rama, of the Ramayana, the epic in which Bhageeratha’s tale is primarily recounted.
He lost his father when he was just a child, and was raised by his mother. Bhageeratha was very intelligent, virtuous and kind hearted. When he came of age, Bhageeratha ascended to the throne of the kingdom of Kosala, today located in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. He was a pious, benevolent ruler who adhered to his duties as a king as prescribed by dharma.
Kapila’s Curse:
When king Sagara chose to perform the Ashwamedha yagna, his royal agents lost track of the sacrificial horse. Sagara ordered his sixty thousand sons by Sumati to track down the horse. The proud and mercurial princes raged across Bharat, burning down forests and uprooting life and property to find the horse. They finally arrived at a quiet spot where the Sage Kapila was sitting in meditation. Besides him was tied the white horse. The enraged princes condemned Kapila as a thief and attacked him. Using his terrible mystic power, Kapila instantly turned the princes into ashes.
Another version has it that the horse was stolen by a jealous Indra who did not want the yagna to succeed, and hid it in cave where sage Kapila was meditating in order to escape being accused of the stealth.
One version has it that Kapila told the prince Anshuman, Sagara’s grandson(Son of Asamanjan, other son of Sagara who was thrown out of kingdom by him) who had come looking both for the horse and his brothers, that the only way for the souls of the dead princes could rise to heaven would be through the offering of niravapanjali with the water of the sacred Ganga river, which was flowing only in Swarga ( Heaven ).
Other version has it that Anshuman was told about the fate of his 60,000 uncles and about relief from Kapila’s curse(by Ganga waters) by Garuda(who is maternal uncle of Asamanjan).
Bringing Ganga back to Earth was a near impossible task and required many years to be spent in tapasya and prayer. The Kosala kings of successive generations could not do this while managing their duties as kings. As a result, the sins of the thousand princes multiplied in their destructive energy, and began resulting in natural disasters. The kingdom began to lose its peace and prosperity, and by the time Bhageeratha ascended the throne, he found it impossible to attempt to govern in this situation, that had only one solution.
Bhageeratha’s Tapasya:
Turning over the kingdom to trusted ministers, Bhageeratha set off to the Himalayas to perform an arduous tapasya in the extreme climate. For one thousand years, he performed an excruciatingly harsh penance to please Lord Brahma. At the end of the thousand years, Brahma came to him and told him to ask for anything. Bhageeratha asked Brahma to bring down the river Ganga to earth so that he may perform the ceremony for his ancestors.
Brahma asked Bhageeratha to propitiate Lord Shiva, for only He would be able to break the Ganga’s fall. It was the largest river, and it would be impossible for anyone save Him to contain the destructive impact of this event.
Bhageeratha performed a tapasya for Lord Shiva, living only on air. The compassionate Shiva appeared only after a year’s penance, and told Bhageeratha he should not have to perform tapasya to accomplish a noble goal such as this. He assured Bhageeratha that he would break Ganga’s fall.
Ganga’s Fall :
After eons of being flattered and praised by the Devas, Ganga had become vain. She scoffed at Brahma when He asked her to flow down to earth, but could not disobey him as he was her father.
But Ganga was sure, as much as Bhageeratha was afraid that no one could stop her fall, which would devastate the earth for a long time. As she cascaded across and down from Swarga, Bhageeratha and celestial observers were terrified of the roar and volume of water coming down. But Lord Shiva appeared from out of nowhere and captured all of Ganga just as she launched herself onto earth, in His jata.
Ganga struggled to set herself free, but Shiva could not be budged. Bhageeratha worshipped Shiva, who let Ganga free after crushing her vanity. She flowed, and is still believed to flow, from Shiva’s jata down to earth at a gentler pace.
Establishment Of The River:
King Bhageeratha led the way for Ganga on his chariot, and she followed him across the north and east of Bharat and finally merging with the ocean. In her course she washed the ashes of Sagara’s sixty thousand sons, who ascended to heaven while praising and blessing Bhageeratha.
FOR ITS DESCENT TO EARTH BEING OWED TO BHAGEERATHA’S EFFORTS, GANGA IS ALSO KNOWN AS BHAGEERATHI (DAUGHTER OF BHAGEERATHA) AS PROCLAIMED BY LORD BRAHMA.
Bhageeratha’s own great effort was praised by all the Gods and his ancestors, and is known as a Bhageeratha Prayatna, as proclaimed by Lord Brahma. It is a great inspiration to any man who seeks to do something noble despite facing overwhelming odds.
The Scientific analogy of the Hindu texts :
So far , we have realized that The Genesis account is pointing us towards a Place where Apple trees grows naturally . We need to understand that the Genesis account tells us the very beginning of Life on this Planet as per the Abrahamic texts , which consider that this Planet is only 6000 years old and that Adam & Eve were the first people on Earth.
However , such is not the case with Hinduism. For Hindus , the concept of Yugas is an ongoing creation & destruction event that has been happening for millions of years , something which science totally agrees to .
Further as we have noted that The Location of Heaven is what the Swastika stands for , we will now use scientific data mining to identify the location of Heaven.
Mount Kailash :
Mount Kailash is the first Man Made pyramid on Planet Earth . The Hindu texts reveal that The Supreme Lord of Engineering & Architecture , Vishwakarma himself designed and built Mt. Kailash in the Himalayas as a permanent residence for Rudra & his Wife Sati . I will not dwelf into the mysteriousness of Mt.Kailash on this blog , because otherwise ending this blog would become an impossible task .
I am hereby showing you satellite images of the terrain in and around Mt. Kailash . As you can see , the Location of Mt.Kailash and is surroundings is so mysterious that it practically is a sealed complex .
Evidently 4 rivers do originate from Mt.Kailash , they are the Indus, Sutlej, Brahmaputra, and Karnali also known as Ghaghara (the Largest tributary of the Ganges) in India. This becomes important from two perspectives , first for a Kin like Bhageeratha to release Ganga to his people in Kosala means he had to break some parts of this Zig Saw terrain around Mt.Kailash to bring Ganga to his people via Nepal . With the river Ghaghara , the river Ganga would not support the thirst of Millions of people as she does even today.
The Hindu text is revealing to us that King Bhageeratha broke open one part of the Jataka ( Shiva's Locks ) to release Ganga from Heaven and flow towards mankind and civilization downwards into Kosala . Satellite images show us , what These Shiva's locks mentioned in the Hindu texts exactly looks like and here we see them . You also can definitely use Google Earth for the same .
The Swastika has revealed its location of Heaven . And to further convince us that we are exactly at the right place and not pondering onto some other part of the Planet , Mt.Kailash itself reveals the Cross of the Swastika , as seen in this image .
Now that , we have been able to locate The Location of Heaven , our job does not end. We now need to search for the location of Garden of Eden . Where on Earth is the Garden of Eden ?
KASHMIR :
Kashmir has been known as the Land where Apple trees have been known to grow naturally . Infact the entire Himalayan range from Kashmir to Uttarakhand in India , has massive plantations of Apple farming even today . Amazingly the Ramayana informs us that Kusha , the second son of Rama reigned towards the Western part of Extended India . Considering this revelation , Kashmir which gets its name from one of the Saptarishis ( 7 Great Sages ) of the Vedas - Rishi Kashyapa , it is apparent for us to understand that the reigns of Kashmir and beyond on the western frontier of erstwhile India would have been known as the Land of Kusha .
Here even the Genesis account supports the Hindu texts . The Genesis account points to the Land of Cush . Modern historians argue that the Land of Cush mentioned in the Torah or the New Testament is the Country of Ethiopia .
We need to understand here that , migration , immigration or emigration is not a new phenomenon . Life on this Planet has been present for more years than at least 6000 years. And to add, we need to understand that in Christianity our God was born 365 years after Alexander the Great . Alexander had already invaded Bactria ( Afghanistan ) and entered Western current day Pakistan , before He was routed to leave India by King Porus , that too before this God of ours in Christianity was born .
To add , Chandragupta Maurya had already established a Massive Indian Empire before Jesus was born . Our God was born too late .
The Garden of Eden is nothing else but Kashmir . THE HEAVEN ON EARTH . And that is the reason why people even today say " Heaven is a Place on Earth ".
