1. Independent Confirmation of a Catastrophic Event [Journals] [SIS Review]
... areas. There are reported sea recessions along all coastal areas, with India mentioned specifically. The Pleiades: Iyengar comments on an allusion to the fact that the falling objects were perhaps thought to be originating in the Pleiades region. This would identify the objects as Taurid meteoroids, which have the Pleiades as their radiant. The behaviour of the Sarasvati river: there is an extensive description of the activity of Sarasvati, both as a goddess and as a river. The Sarasvati existed terrestrially as well as being described as celestial (the Ganga was also described as both). Iyengar reports that, in the literature, the river changed its direction of flow frequently (at one point ...
2. The Stream Surrounding the Earth [Journals] [SIS Review]
... is with them'. There is also a reference to the waters which appear in the light-chamber on the other side of the sun and below (the sun) '. These waters in the sky are called purisa, light-vapours' [51]. There are three important deities ( 'water entities') who represent celestial rivers - Sarasvati, Ganga and Soma. Both the Sarasvati and Ganga rivers flow in the heavens as well as on the Earth; Soma is a mythological river existing only in heaven. From very ancient times, Sarasvati, abundance of waters', has been regarded as one of the most sacred rivers of India, called most divine and sacred river ...
3. The Bedrock of Myth [Articles]
... It is a history in which the planets play no part essentially different from what we now observe, if, in fact, the human observers of the Polar Apparition deigned even to notice the planets at that time. Apparently, the Polar Apparition became triple from single, and then sevenfold from triple. In the hymns of the Rgveda, Sarasvati the goddess is usually one of a trio, but in Rgveda VI.61.12 she is sevenfold, having arisen from a threefold state. There seems to be no serious warrant for finding indications of any other number of crescentoid elements in the basic design of the image. An identical formation is found from the parallel tradition of ...
4. The Garden of Venus [Journals] [Aeon]
... by the fact that Anahita's temples were built alongside springs or watercourses. [15] That said, most scholars have looked to syncretism to explain this aspect of the goddess' cult. Boyce, for example, suggests that the Persian Anahita was early on assimilated to the goddess Ardwisur, the latter being a river goddess analogous to the Indian Sarasvati. [16] If this is the case, as some evidence seems to suggest, the question arises as to why the ancient Persians sought to identify the two goddesses? Doubtless they saw a fundamental resemblance between the two divinities, such as a connection with springs or Venus or both. Other scholars, following Herodotus, [17 ...

... r' and I'. It should, however, be noted that there was apparently more than one Abram/Abraham. The earliest one (called Brahma), whose wife was originally called Sarai according to tradition, seems to have arrived in Mesopotamia, aged 21, from the Aram-Naharaim, area of the two rivers - Indus and Sarasvati - about 3093BC. A second one (called Abram), according to another tradition, seems to have arrived in Canaan from Camenna (? ) in about 1904 aged 52. The final one (called Abraham), whose wife was called Sarah, seems to have arrived in Canaan aged 75 in 1534BC; he seems to have ...
... heaven (paramnin vyoman), the region peculiarly sacred to Varuna." 23 This is clearly illustrated in scores of passages; for example, in the beautiful prayer for immortality, where the four-fold 24 head-spring of all waters is located in the sacred Centre of Heaven.25 Sometimes the heaven-sprung stream is called the Sindhu,26 sometimes the Sarasvati.27 In the later Mahabharata its head-spring is placed in the heaven of Vishnu, high above the lofty Pole-star (Druva). On their descent the ethereal waters wash the Pole-star, and the Seven Rishis (the Great Bear), and the polar pivot of " the lunar orb,"28 thence falling upon the top of ...
