India–Israel: Rediscovering Lost Civilizational Links
History is not only a compilation of dates and wars, but it is a fabric of civilizations, myths, migrations, languages and memories. In recent years, alternative historical approaches have pointed to some exciting and amazing relations between India and Jewish civilization, challenging traditional Western narratives. This article discovers the same possible historical and cultural relationships.
Palestine and Pulastya: The Ancestral Link to Ravana
According to some alternative historical statements, the place we know today by the name of “Palleen” is actually associated with Maharishi Pulastya, who was the father of Ravana and Manas son of Brahma. It is said that the name “Palatine” has developed under the name of Pulastya. In this view, this land is considered to be the ancestor land of Ravana, which is associated with the ancient Vedic tradition.
The Jewish-Yaduvanshi Hypothesis
According to another interesting ideology, the Jewish community was actually the Yaduvanshi descendant Kshatriya of India, who was a descendant of Shri Krishna. It is believed that when Dwarka merged into the sea, the Yadavanshi there migrated to the west and over time called “Hebrew” or “Jew”.
It is also claimed that this migration took place about 5700 years ago-which also matches the time of the Jewish almanac. The Passover festival, which the Jews still celebrate even today, is considered to be separated from that ancient land. In this view, this ‘Passover’ was actually a day to leave India.
Suleman or Shala-Manav: King Solomon and India relations
King Solomon, described in the Biblical texts, is considered a symbol of amazing splendor and intelligence. But some scholars, such as Edward Pokok, wrote in his book India in Greece that most of the luxury and property of Soloman’s palace came from India.
they write:
“That India is the point whence came the gold … and the luxurious appliances of Solomon’s court is clear”
That is, gold and grand materials seen in the Prasad of King Solomon were brought from India. This trade was done by the planets by sea route and it used to take years.
Hebrew and Sanskrit: Deep connection of language
Hebrew, some people called “Habru”, have been attempted to link it to Sanskrit etymology. it is said that:
“H” = Hari (Name of Krishna)
“Bru” = Brute (speaking)
In this view, Habru means: “Hari used to speak that language”. This is the reason why many words are found in Sanskrit and Hebrew.
Gaza or Gajapati? History behind names
The area near Palestine is called Gaza Patti. Some people consider it to be the disgrace of the word Gajapati (lord of elephants). This nomenclature is also considered an indicator of the ancient power and influence of India.
Ramalla: Is this Shri Ram’s name?
Today is Ramalla, the administrative capital of Palestine. It is claimed that this name is actually a changed form of Ramlala – which is the name of Lord Rama’s child. Is this just a coincidence or any forgotten memory hidden in the depth of civilization?
The Battle of Faith and Identity
In this approach, the Israel-Palestine conflict has also been seen as a spiritual conflict, not just political, as a political conflict. Israel is waiting for an avatar while the Palestinian side wants to stop him. Is this struggle actually a battle of faith between the future and the past?
Conclusion: A Civilizational Crossroad
All these analysis and approach can be different from mainstream history, but they force us to think whether the influence of ancient India extended to Western civilizations? Can we find forgotten bridges connecting civilizations?
The signs hidden in myths, names, festivals and languages sometimes point to the truths that history has forgotten.
