Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Magi are referred in Bible as "Gift of Magi " also. Magi means the wise man. The ancient relegion of Persia was Zorostrian and Magi were thair priests. God Mithra (Sun God) was worshiped that time. These Magi were astronomer also. In Mahabharata (a Hindu epic) it is stated that Lord Krisna had a son "Samb". He was suffering from Leprocy. That's why Krishna called special Brahmin of Shakdvip (Belived that present Iran). They were Sun worshipers and famous astronomer. They treated Samb and freed him from Leprocy. We are Shakdvipiya Brahmin originated from those Shakdvip origin Brahmins and also called Magi Brahmin. We are specialized in Ayurveda(old Indian method of treatment) and astronomy, astrology and we are Sun worshiper. I found some text where it is shown that Those special Brahmin brought in India by Krishna were MAGIs. I hope that they were our forefathers. Can anybody give me more information about this relationship? visit www.sakaldwipi.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Who were first ? From the rites of Sanatama Dharma, and Zoroastri"anism" one may find many similarities, many of them. It is the Persians who gave the name "Hindus" (from the Indus). Is Hinduism based on Zarathustra ? Judaism has plenty of rites/practices which are very close to those of Hindus ... and Muslims also are quite close to Jews in their dos and donts. Folklore picked here and there. Please, tell us more about the link if ever ther is one between "Hinduism" (not derogatory) and "Zoroasthrism". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
