PRE-ADVENT JESUS: COPY OF 5TH C BC ASCLEPIOS / IASAS (BALADEVA AS

ANANTA CARAKA) Emailing: 9.htm

 

ONE MUST LEARN TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THE SATTVIC / ASCETIC ASCLEPIAN THEOLOGY

OF THE HELIOPOLITAN MONOTHEISTS LIKE PLATO AND SOCRATES, AND THE RAJARSHIC AND

TAMASIC ASCLEPIAN MYTHOLOGY OF NON-RELIGIOUS STORY TELLERS LIKE HOMER. THE

LAST ACT OF SOCRATES, THE MONOTHEISTIC HELIOS-WORSHIPPING ASCETIC, WAS AN

OFFERING TO HIS SAVIOR-GOD ASKLEPIOS. THE PLATONIC TRADITION OF ASCLEPIUS, SON

OF HELIOS, TRUE MAN AND TRUE GOD, WAS WHAT EVOLVED, AFTER THE ADVENT OF JESUS

CHRIST, INTO CATHOLIC APOSTOLIC MONOTHEISM. THE EARLIEST APOSTOLIC CHURCH

CLEARLY CONSIDERED JESUS TO BE THE FULFILLMENT OF THE ENTIRE ASCLEPIAN (AYUR

VEDIC CARAKA) GREAT-PHYSICIAN TRADITION. THUS THE ANCIENT CULT-CENTERS OF

ASCLEPIUS, INCLUDING THE SERAPEUM IN ALEXANDRIA EGYPT, QUICKLY BECAME IMPORTANT

CENTERS OF THEOLOGY IN THE EARLY CATHOLIC COMMUNION.

 

FOR BOTH PLATONIC AND HOMERIC RELATED SOURCES ON ASCLEPIUS SEE THE EDELSTEINS'

BOOK DESCRIBED BELOW.

 

The adoration of Iasas Asclepius in His beardless youthful Form was clearly a

conjugal rasa. This Form is mentioned in the major scholarly work available

on Asclepius, "Asclepius Collection and Interpretation of the Testimonies" by

Emma J. And Ludwig Edelstein.

This 1945 Johns Hopkins University Press two-volume edition has now been

reprinted in a single volume, by Johns Hopkins in Baltimore and London. It

has a new introduction by Prof. Gary B. Ferngren of Oregon State University.

It is the most complete work available on Greek and Roman written evidence for

the worship of Asclepius. The great number of surviving ancient Greek and

Roman references, 861 sources given by the Edelsteins, testifies to the

enormous popularity of Asclepius in the Greco-Roman world. The text identifies

him with Serapis and Eshmun, but does not go into his worship as Serapis in

Egypt or as Eshmun in the Levant. Despite the ancients' identification of

Asclepius with Dionysos and Osiris, the authors do not explore these

connections. In addition, the Edelsteins apparently did not know about

Charaka in the East. I have myself traced the worship of Dionysos-Balarama as

Charaka-Jesus all the way to the medical sect of Yakushi Ji in Japanese Pure

Land Buddhism at Nara, Japan.

Part of a series on the history of medicine, the Edelsteins' text is an

astoundingly comprehensive collection of ancient literary and inscriptional,

etc. references to Asclepius. Despite the fact that the Edelsteins considered

Asclepius to be a Homeric 'deified hero', and that they were Jewish and could

not make some of the important Christological connections, their compilation

clearly shows that Asclepius was worshiped as divine, and that he was

consciously identified with Jesus Christ at the dawn of Christianity. The

identification of Jesus Christ and Asclepius persisted into the Renaissance,

when the name of Asclepius (or Apollo himself) was used to designate Christ!

ARGONAUTS CALYDONIAN HUNTERS CONSTELLATIONS CHIRONS' DISCIPLES APOLLO'S OFFSPRING

 

Asclepius is the god of healing.

 

His mother dies before he is born

When Asclepius was still in the womb, Apollo killed his mother Coronis 2 for

having wedded Ischys; and as for the crow who told the god about the wedding,

Apollo cursed it and, changing its color from white into black.

As Coronis 2 was burning in the funeral pyre, Apollo snatched Asclepius from it

and brought him to the wise Centaur Chiron, who brought him up, teaching him

the arts of healing and hunting.

Others have said that it was Artemis who killed Coronis 2, to punish her for

having insulted her brother, and that it was Hermes who snatched the child from

the pyre.

His art of healing

Asclepius, having become a surgeon, and having carried his art to a great pitch,

not only prevented some from dying, but even raised up the dead; for he had

received from Athena the blood that flowed from the veins of Medusa 1. And

while he used the blood that flowed from the veins on the left side for the

bane of mankind, he used the blood that flowed from the right side for

salvation, and by that means he raised the dead.

Those raised from the dead by Asclepius

Capaneus, who was killed by Zeus' thunderbolt during the war of the SEVEN

AGAINST THEBES, was raised from the dead by Asclepius, and so was the son of

King Minos 2 of Crete, Glaucus 4, who had drowned in a jar of honey. Hippolytus

4, son of Theseus, was also raised from the dead by Asclepius, and so was

Lycurgus 4, son of Pronax, son of King Talaus of Argos, and King Tyndareus of

Sparta.

Punished by Zeus

But Zeus did not approve of this, and fearing that men might acquire the healing

art from him and so come to the rescue of each other, smote Asclepius with a

thunderbolt.

Consequences of Asclepius' death

Grieved at the death of his beloved son, and not being able to raise his hand

against his own father, Apollo, in revenge, slew the CYCLOPES, who had

fashioned the thunderbolt for Zeus. On account of this deed, Zeus would have

hurled Apollo to Tartarus. But as Leto intervened on behalf of her son, Zeus

resolved, as a penalty for having destroyed the CYCLOPES, to let Apollo serve

as a thrall to a man for a year. And this man came to be King Admetus 1 of

Pherae, husband of Alcestis.
