Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 In Bengal they often call God or Krishna as “Hari” which means “Thief” in Bengali, and refers to God’s capacity to take away, to take back all that is his. And of course they call God as “Shyam”, which means “Black”, and it is known that Krishna is dark, like a cloud, or black when in Deity form. Interesting coincidence: The Roman historian Tacitus in his book “Germania” about Germany’s peoples or tribes during the Roman period, describes that one tribe stands out because they have this war technique which only they do, where they paint themselves completely black, and their gear black, and they attack only on the darkest nights. The tribes name was the “Hari” Thanks Rick/Das das (AT) goravani (DOT) com Secure online ordering of Goravani Jyotish 2.5 and Jyotish Studio 3 or (Please use email if at all possible) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
