The ninth page describes analogies of Vedic mythology and ancient Indo-European mythology, and also describes differences of hierarchy of gods in Vedic pantheon and hierarchies of gods in Hindu pantheon, and in particular describes the triad of gods VISHNU, SHIVA, BRAHMA. |
The Vedic mythology occurs from the ancient Indo-European mythology which is
a basis of many mythological systems of the ancient world. If to compare the
name DYAUS in Vedic mythology and the name ZEUS in ancient Greek mythology, or
the name of gods DEVAS in Vedic mythology and the name DIV in Slavic mythology
then names are conformable that speaks about the common origin of names and gods
in different mythological systems.
Or the name of gods VASUS in Vedic mythology is conformable to the name of gods ASIRS (AESIRS)
in the Scandinavian mythology. And also there are many other analogies and
accords of names which specify the common origin of mythological systems of the
different nations from the general system of Indo-European mythology.
It is possible to assume that a basis of the Indo-European mythology is uniform
language which was common for ancestors of modern peoples, but then languages
were separated and there were different interpretations in names of gods and
mythological systems. But primary names of gods were correlated to the basic
sounds of human speech which among the modern languages can be seen in 33
letters of the modern Russian alphabet.
Sounds of speech have physical acoustic parameters, and also it is possible to
speak that gods have physical or metaphysical parameters which are comparable to
parameters of sounds, if to take into account that gods personify qualities of
light and colors, or the atmospheric phenomena, and also personify the
psychological phenomena which are comparable to physical parameters of sounds.
And consequently gods were correlated to sounds of speech in a context
Indo-European mythology that was kept in hierarchy of gods in Vedic mythology.
Knowledge of "sound" hierarchy of gods were kept due to texts which are written
in Vedas and are a basis of Vedic mythology, but Vedic mythology has changed and
has turned in Hindu mythology which in many respects differs from system of
knowledge in Vedas. But nevertheless there is a continuity that is shown on the
chart:
 |
The chart shows an astrological circle and 12 zodiac
signs to which there correspond gods of Vedic mythology and also gods of
Hindu mythology. Red color shows a name of god VISHNU who belongs to heavenly gods Adityas. Blue color shows a name of god RUDRA who belongs to atmospheric gods Rudras and is similar to god SHIVA in Hindu mythology. And also blue color shows a name of god INDRA who is the Supreme god in a context of Vedic mythology and corresponds with the centre of astrological circle. Green color shows a name of god DHRUVA who belongs to terrestrial gods Vasus and is similar to god BRAHMA in Hindu mythology. And also green color shows a name of god BRHASPATI who is interconnected to god INDRA and is similar to god BRAHMA. |
VISHNU corresponds with the zodiac sign Sagittarius and is the
ordinary god in a context of Vedic mythology, but VISHNU becomes one of the main
gods in Hindu mythology. Such modification of this god is caused by that the
planet jupiter dominates in the zodiac sign Sagittarius where symbolizes the
Supreme gods.
In Vedic mythology the Supreme in the category of heavenly gods Adityas is VARUNA
who corresponds with the zodiac sign Crab where the moon dominates, but VISHNU
is the Supreme god in Hindu mythology.
SHIVA in Hindu mythology is similar to god RUDRA in Vedic mythology as
the name SHIVA is an epithet of the name RUDRA.
God SHIVA corresponds with the zodiac sign Leo where the sun dominates and is a
symbol of imperial authority. Therefore this god is one of the Supreme gods in
Hindu mythology.
BRAHMA has no direct analogies in Vedic mythology but his name is a part
of a name of god BRHASPATI or otherwise BRAHMANASPATI that means "master of
brahman".
BRHASPATI is created by TVASTAR as a basis of a universe and all alive essences,
and TVASTAR is the founder of atmospheric gods in the category Rudras. Therefore
he is similar to Maruts who correspond with long vowel sounds, and also he is a
friend of INDRA and is similar to AGNI, namely BRHASPATI is one of the central
gods of the Vtdic pantheon that is the reason of identification of BRHASPATI
with BRAHMA who is the third Supreme god in the Hindu pantheon of gods.
It is possible to assume that BRHASPATI personifies breath which is necessary
for formation of vowel sounds, and also consonant sounds of speech.
Besides BRAHMA is similar to god DHRUVA as epic texts of Mahabharata speak that
BRAHMA was born as a germ of the world in the gold egg or the cosmic egg, and
then he has divided the egg into two half which became the sky and the ground
that is identical to god DHRUVA who too corresponds with the cosmic egg. If to
take into account that DHRUVA belongs to the category of terrestrial gods then
BRAHMA is the founder of the terrestrial (material) world and consequently he is
the founder of Asuras or demons who have the magic force Maya forming a material
world.
Asuras are opponents of gods in a context of Vedic mythology, and also VISHNU
and SHIVA are opponents of BRAHMA in a context of Hindu mythology. But BRAHMA is
compared with PRAJAPATI or the founder of heavenly gods, namely BRAHMA is
considered as founder of VISHNU and the founder of all world though actually
BRAHMA is the founder of a material world. This ambiguity in image of BRAHMA is
caused by a dual identification with gods BRHASPATI and DHRUVA, namely in first
case BRAHMA corresponds with the central gods of the Vedic pantheon, and in the
second case he corresponds with the god who personifies the cosmic egg and the
centre of a material world. In essence if BRAHMA is identified to the god
BRHASPATI then he is in the centre of directions of light and is the central god
among keepers of the world (guardians of the world) who surround BRAHMA and have
the name Lokapalas. And if BRAHMA is identified to the god DHRUVA then he
symbolizes the cosmic egg which corresponds with the polar star and does not
correspond with the central gods of Vedic mythology.
To the god DHRUVA there corresponds the sound 
,
and to the god BRHASPATI there corresponds a sound of breath that is the reason
of comparison of two gods as the sound
is similar to a sound of breath, or it is possible to tell that the sound
is a sound of breath.
God DHRUVA corresponds with the zodiac sign Pisces where the planet jupiter
dominates, that also is the indication on contradictions of BRAHMA and VISHNU,
as VISHNU corresponds with the zodiac sign Sagittarius where too the planet jupiter
dominates.
Total in the Hindu pantheon there are three gods who have a role of the Supreme
triad (Trimurti), and in essence VISHNU is the Supreme god of heavenly gods;
SHIVA is the Supreme god of atmospheric gods or otherwise to tell gods
intermediate between heaven and earth; BRAHMA is the Supreme god of terrestrial
gods. Provided that 33 gods and three categories of Vedic mythology are not
taken into account in a context of Hindu mythology, but three gods divide
spheres of influence. Namely VISHNU personifies preservation of the world and
corresponds with the sky that is comparable with the zodiac sign Sagittarius
which is the beginning of 3rd third of astrological circle. SHIVA personifies
destruction of the world and corresponds with functions of gods in the category Rudras
that is comparable with the zodiac sign Leo which is the beginning of 2nd third
of astrological circle. BRAHMA personifies occurrence of the world and
corresponds with terrestrial gods and Asuras which carry out creation of a
material world, that is comparable to the 1st third and the beginning of
astrological circle at the end of the zodiac sign Pisces and in the beginning of
the zodiac sign Aries.
Three thirds of astrological circle are marked by fat dividing lines in the
chart shown above, namely zodiac signs Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Crab make 1st
third and are in sphere of influence of BRAHMA where symbolize a material world;
zodiac signs Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio make 2nd third and are in sphere of
influence of SHIVA where symbolize an interval between a material world and a
sky; zodiac signs Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces make 3rd third and
are in sphere of influence of VISHNU where symbolize a sky.
Pay attention that BRAHMA corresponds with the zodiac sign Pisces and
consequently is in sphere of influence of VISHNU, but he creates a material
world where has own sphere of influence that is essence not only of Hindu
mythology but also proves to be true from the view point of the Indian
philosophy where BRAHMA or BRAHMAN corresponds with the supreme consciousness or
the supreme sky. In essence BRAHMA personifies the absolute god in a context of
Hindu mythology but if to analyze hierarchy of gods of primary Vedic mythology
then the universe has more complex structure and BRAHMA is only ordinary and one of gods.
Moses on Mount Horeb has heard the name YAHWE (JEHOVAH) in which there is
the sound X
appropriate to gods BRHASPATI and DHRUVA, and consequently BRAHMA is the central
god, and also corresponds with the beginning of astrological circle which
symbolizes the beginning of the world as BRAHMA is identified to gods BRHASPATI and DHRUVA, but actually in
the name YAHWE there are four sounds
and consequently the structure of the central axis of a universe and the name of
god YAHWE are more complex.
More detailed information about Hindu mythology and Hinduism in comparison
with Vedic mythology, and also in comparison with bible mythology I shall try to
publish in the future.
I hope that the given information will help to understand essence of Vedic
mythology, and will help to understand metaphysical essence of human speech. And
also I hope that the given information will allow to be guided in complex
interrelations of Vedic gods by means of the analysis of phonetic interrelations
which sounds of speech have.
Besides I hope that offered ratio of letters in the modern Russian alphabet with
numbers in numerology and with names of gods will be expedient for numerological
calculations, and for understanding of metaphysical senses of words and names.
