There is a fascinating article online for anyone else who is interested in learning more about this, titled "Meet the Brahmins of Ancient Europe, the High Caste of Celtic Society: by Peter Berresford Ellis at: http://www.hinduvoice.net/cgi-bin/maillist/mojo.cgi?flavor=archive&id=2003011501\ 0923&list=HV In this article, Ellis describes the language connection between Old Irish and Sanskrit, which you have brought up: Old Irish - arya (freeman),Sanskrit - aire (noble) Old Irish - naib (good), Sanskrit - noeib (holy) Old Irish - badhira (deaf), Sanskrit - bodhar (deaf) Old Irish - names (respect), Sanskrit - nemed (respect) Old Irish - righ (king), Sanskrit - raja (king) etc...it is fascinating, thanks so much, Juliana --- Das Goravani wrote: > > > Hi everyone, > > Last night I was watching the History Channel¹s ³The > Barbarians² Viking > section. > > They mentioned how a Budha turned up in Norway many > hundreds of years ago > due to all the trading that went on across Europe, > due to the vast area the > vikings travelled in their longboats, deep into > Europe, who had been trading > with the east for at least a 1000 years already. > > It was easy for me to see that, which I¹ve seen > before, that it is wholly > possible for Jyotish to have travelled from India to > virtually anywhere say > 2300 years ago, in the mid iron age, when Rome was > already trading with > India, and then westward all the way to Britain. > Because these trips always > included merceneries and slaves, from various > cultures, and because these > persons sometimes escaped and sometimes were set > free, the information they > gleened would travel further, back to homelands etc. > > So, it is wholly possible, completely likely, that > some Celt from Britain or > Ireland, learned the basics of Jyotish from Indian > traders on ships in the > Roman harbor, then took it back to Britain, and > showed it to the Druids, the > priests.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Tir is the Norse God of War, hence Tuesday, Tirsdag, means the day of the War God, same as Mangalbar in India, for Mars day. Dag means day from scandanavia to Germany as these are the same people ultimately. Tir is also a Norse Ruin (symbol) for the arrow I believe meaning the arrow was the symbol for the God of war, hence the Mars glyph in astrology is a planet, circle, with arrow, war. This kind of stuff shows our interconnectedness and similarities, which I find consoling somehow. Also, in this ever increasingly complex world of nonsensical items, I find it important to get back to, and understand, the basics of our lives here. Perhaps that's why I like studying history- it was more plain and poignant back then- things were more straightforward, as nobody had to decide between satellite and cable modem, or PC and Mac, rather, they had only to work on getting food, shelter, and fighting off enemies, etc. Of course, it had it's downsides... Many... But it's still highly educational to study it all. Das Goravani, Pres. Service http://www.dancingmooninc.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Dear Das, Working on similar lines I was trying to arrive at some connection between Greek gods and the demigods associated with the planets. Some of them seem to be easy to relate, for instance, Ares - Mars, Apollo - Sun (or should it be Zeus - Sun?), Aphrodite - Venus etc. However, there's many that I can't seem to reconcile. Like Hephaestus or Dionysus. Dunno whether you or the other groups members have given this some thought?
