We know the sixth commandment speaks of, “Thou shall not kill” and naturally after killing about 3,000 people http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+32%3A27-28&version=KJV (Exodus 32:27-28) out of 600,000 men, besides men and women http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus%2032:25-29&version=NIV (Exodus 32: 25-29) some just has to go in different ways as Moses and the judges have such compelling principle of cleansing the Israelites by purging those who are unlawful with ungodly practices . Instead of killing everybody in worshiping the golden calf http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%20106:13-21&version=NIV (Psalm 106:13-21), Moses have purged his people by driving them away.
To my own theory, gypsy-like movement, in contemporary language, has been the course of these people’s direction, carrying with them ideologies that bulls or cows are sacred http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%20106:19-21&version=NIV. Note also that Mt Horeb was where the Israelites were said to have carved this idol which is also Mt Sinai http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Horeb.
Even before gypsies were documented to be of Indian (native of India) culture and civilization they were already people who possess migratory nature. In my research, texts in history, can not determine the beginning of Hinduism but it clearly accounts the progression and content of their ideologies. I can only deduce within the framework of the facts provided by the Old Testament/Torah or the Apocrypha that people responsible with what is now called Hinduism is of Israelite decent. They are most definitely from those people who frolicked before the golden calf at the foot of Mt. Sinai.
Listen carefully, Moses spent forty days and nights up in the mountain as documented. There is no way, people could have contrived to be unruly in a short period of time as forty days. The argument of people in Exodus who were already anxious and were losing hope to survive, are supported by accounts http://bible.cc/exodus/17-2.htm where Moses was always challenged and ridiculed and persecuted about his God, as early on, from the time they first moved out of Egypt http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+32%3A27-28&version=KJV (Exodus 15:24;16:2; 17:2) http://bible.cc/exodus/16-2.htm. The bulls and the cows which carried their important belongings, people may have tended to revere which served as warmth for clothing as well.
The benefits they derived from the cows/bulls gave some people in Exodus inclinations to revere the animal for their redemption--their survival. Not to mention, the meat they may have derived from it back then. But as food eventually became accessible due to improved conditions and commerce with contacts with other people, they may have somehow, even more, allotted distinct holiness to the animal. Now, we see them not eat any cow/bull meat at all.
Further more, we should also consider the fact that they were in Egypt and ruled by Pharaohs whose gods are a handful, like the goddess Hathor in a form of a cow on photo on right---from birds to what not. Even the sun they’d had to settle as the ultimate god for the light and warmth it gives. So, its really not far fetched to note that they were pre-disposed to paganism. This claim is also well supported by the Kailash Temple in the Tibetan plateau at Ellora Caves in India where a cliff of stone was carved where a shrine of Shiva and Nandi, the bull, could be found within the temple (photo on top left) . Like the Egyptian god, Hathor has great resemblance, to the shrine of the god Shiva--with the sacred bull Nandi-Vishnu's’s vehicle.
I felt eerie after seeing the bull the Hinduism faith revere. The impression of mobility or migratory nature intensified to me even more, after learning that there is a celebrated prominent god whose transportation is of equal importance and reverence. And to think that Vishnu is believed to be the "Preserver god," I personally believe that this group came up with a higher being to venerate-to express their gratitude for an event, suggesting preservation to life and migration.
Lastly, to incorporate practical analogy in real time illustration: no person can differentiate a person from India and a person from the Middle East-they are living proofs of lateral ancestry. Speaking of real time, an Encarta encyclopedia article records of earliest Hinduism accounts dated in 2000 B.C. to 500 A.D. proving to show that they are not all that ancient. Since Abraham’s birth was in the 2160 B.C.-even way ahead of Buddha which is just in 560 B.C., which has a mixture of Hinduism influence. They stand novice, in terms of protocol and integrated reputability in relation to holiness and seniority compared to that of our Abraham.
Further more, there is a major discovery which can broaden men’s knowledge to realize protocol- a self-identity of both local people who embrace Hinduism and similar faith around the world: Hinduism does not have legitimate accounts of its beginnings. It would have been a tragic narrative, being it so, a kind of people who were detached from the early Israelites. So, it was rather left unspoken of, and undocumented. However, historical facts in the best-known history ever documented by men-the Holy Scriptures shed to us light about the beginnings of Hinduism.
This, article-my probing, I am happy about...permit me, I just have to say that.
Word to the Wise: The thrust of this book is to completely show how men could attain harmony for a better and brighter tomorrow. The times can attest how certain human ideologies prove helpful and auspicious. The term Karma is an exemplary cautionary guide to live fairly. Nirvana is also one that you coined, which people also strive to attain and maintain toward life everlasting. The principles you adhere to even bear fruit with the encouragement you contributed with other beliefs such as Buddhism. There are much great purpose you have, in being saved from under the sword and the law when your ancestors were just released or scattered (give thanks to the once newly crafted ten commandments at the time when it came). You are a living testimony of the sixth commandment http://bible.cc/exodus/20-13.htm (Exodus 20:13). And a living testimony of how the grace and contriteness of a man of God in Moses was revealed http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus%2034:1-9&version=NIV (Exodus 34:1-9)
Now, the meditation you are known in communing with nature--about being one with the natural environment--the peace you show which create inner sanctum for a positive outlook in life have earn credit. I admire the discipline that is in you.
However, in knowing yourselves is what I came to write this for. In the hope that you are clarified and willing to better understand your precious origin. When in some ways due to the raw intelligence and coupled by dire needs to survive, you waded yourselves in absolute paganism. Your fellow Israelites are likewise suffering from the same insensitivity as you have gone through, due to their denial of the Messianic existence of Jesus Christ. The adverse repercussion on them is by not acknowledging Christ who showed unconditional love for everyone-their selfish ways have been bringing them suffering since time immemorial.
Your ancestors may not even have an ingress to Hinduism, since waywardness was overwhelming as depicted at the foot of Mt. Sinai and the ever manifestation of rebellion during Exodus. Your early people with this wit, who were responsible in this kind of insurgence, never have made it to account anything at all, until the later years when maturity with age and experience among their own beliefs have refined.
Now, unity and oneness of global magnitude is imminent. In letting you know whom your true ancestors who were led to revere in Spirit, is the God of all the nations, after all. I want you to take heart and relish this enlightenment. It is not to obliterate the religion of your birth and all the practice of your youth (maybe some) in worship and in service, since your forefathers have dislodged you of this mainframe of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I or anybody with their proper volition can only speak of encouragement and enlightenment as what this book offers--toward great possibility of knowing and understanding the past in determining the present as the backbone of tomorrow.
Your Strength: People where God manifested the love for one another in life.
Your Weakness: Dislodged from the truth of your beginnings.
