INTRODUCTION  In the Mythologies around the world, we see certain episodes in common, like for example the flood myth, battle between the good and evil etc. Just like these examples, there is another episode, Sacrifice of the Primordial being. In many myths, including the vedas, there is a story of a Primordial being, being sacrificed for the creation to start. Let us dive into the Norse Mythology...Open your eyes to the dimensions of energy beings... The story starts...  " In the beginning of time, there was nothing: neither sand, nor sea, nor cool waves.  Instead, long before the earth was made , " From this, we understand that, the Norse myths starts after the creation of earth and also we see that their Gods were all related to terrestrial energies. Niflheim ,  “THE World of Fog”, homeland of primordial darkness, cold, mist, and ice  , came into being , and in it a spring gave rise to twelve rivers. To the south was Muspell , a region of heat ...

It was darkness everywhere. The light, the energy existed initially and after and will always continue to exist just like darkness.  The energy was independent who didn't possess any qualities, beyond all, he was the biggest and at the same time the smallest, he was beyond any descriptions. Now, as he was ready for the creation, he fused with the darkness and converted half of himself to matter on which he placed his seed and the matter became it's womb. Now, the cosmic egg was formed on the cosmic ocean that was formed by the matter. As time passed, the cosmic egg blasted, creating a Big Bang and from it ,different parts of matter and energy scattered around, from which the cosmic giant sprang out. The cosmic giant was the  result fusion of energy and matter. As he was out of his womb,  he didn't wait for a long time,  he divided himself and expanded his body further. He became the sand, the rock, the planets, the stars, the clouds, the galaxies and he wa...

The cult of YHWH as god of metallurgy originated among semi-nomadic copper smelters between the Bronze and Iron Age, suggests biblical scholar: And he was not worshipped only by Jews.  A Short History of God Yahweh  TIMNA – Around 3,200 years ago, the great empires around the Mediterranean and the Middle East suddenly imploded. The Egyptians retreated from Canaan and the copper mines of Timna in the Negev, skulking back to the banks of the Nile. And in the arid wastes of southern Canaan, a new power arose.  The Timna mines were taken over by semi-nomadic tribes, which  set up a mining operation that dwarfed  the previous Egyptian industry.  This new desert kingdom would leave its mark on the main building at Timna: the  Egyptian temple of Hathor , protector of miners. The new masters smashed the effigy of the Egyptian deity – leaving the fragments to be found by archaeologists more than 3,000 years later – and set up over the ru...

Prohibition of Idol Worship in Upanishad   "There is no likeness of him" (Svetasvatara Upanishad, Chapter 4, Verse 19)  "His form cannot be seen, No one can see him with the eyes" (Svetasvatara Upanishad, Chapter 4, Verse 20)  All through the vedic texts, we see that, the aryans never used idols for their poojas/worship but used yagyas to please their gods. When I say Aryans, they are not people who came from outside India but people who followed Vedas. Hindu spiritual studies can be broadly classified as Vedic and Tantric. Some say that Vedic studies came from Brahma and the tantric science came from Rudra.  During the ancient times, Brahmins did upanayana ( wearing of sacred thread ) and started their spiritual life with yagyas in which they offered ghee and other yagya components into the fire. The fire acted as the interface or medium of exchange between the mortals and immortals devatas.  One must not wonder as to how the oblations...
