Two streams of people migrated from the Indus Valley after its collapse around 1500 BCE. One stream led by Moses during the Exodus travelled from here to West Asia. Another stream migrated eastward to the Ganga Basin. In course of time, both streams lost memory of their origins in the Indus Valley and re-identified their origins in West Asia and pan-Indian Subcontinent respectively. Thus today the Semitic and Hindu people think they have different heritage. Recognition of this common ancient heritage could provide an anchor for developing friendship and love between the Semitic and Hindu Religions.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1562315528560{margin-right: 80px !important;margin-left: 25px !important;}”]

The Open Bible suggests Abraham was born before 2090 BCE. S B Roy suggests Rama was born between 1996 to 1646 BCE. We may accept the date of 2100 BCE as a working hypothesis for this Prophet. Their life events are also similar. Abraham travelled to the south with his wife Sarah and nephew Lot. Rama travelled south with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana.

We can see a remarkable similarity in time and events in the lives of these 4 Prophets. Their genealogies also run parallel. These similarities suggest that the Prophets in the two traditions lived at the same time, lived in the same space of the Indus Valley, and had parallel genealogies and similar events in their lives. These parallels lead s to suggest that these were the same persons. We want to reclaim the common heritage of the Semitic and Hindu Religions.

Adam lived around 4000 BCE according to the Open Bible. The institution of marriage started at this time. This appears to have started at the time of Swayambhu Manu in the Hindu tradition. His wife was addressed as “Queen” implying a special connection with the Manu. He gave his daughter Devahuti in marriage to Sage Kardama. The Hindu timeline is silent about his timing hence there is no difficulty in accepting a time of 4000 BCE for him as well.
