This paper delves into the surprising Hindu parallels between the narratives and theological understandings of Five Persons in the Biblical (Adam, Cain, Noah, Abraham, Moses) and Hindu (Swayambhu Manu, Indra, Vaivaswat Manu, Rama, Krishna) traditions. Despite contemporary theological differences, 75% of the narratives and 82% of theological understandings during the time of these figures exhibit striking parallels. The study suggests a historical connection between the two religions, emphasizing a common heritage that could foster deeper understanding and dialogue amid today’s religious conflicts.
My study suggests that the origin of the Biblical and Quranic religions lies in the Indus Valley and that Moses led the Exodus from there, rather than from Egypt. There is no archaeological evidence of the Hebrews in Egypt around 1446 BCE, the time traditionally associated with the Exodus. In contrast, the Indus Valley Civilization collapsed around 1500 BCE, which led to its people spreading in all directions. Some of these people went to West Asia and they became the Jews.
Moses carried the memories of Adam, Noah, and Abraham from the Indus Valley and that these figures originally lived there.
The Mausala Parva of the Mahabharata mentions that Krishna left for an unknown country after the Yadavas killed each other. This unknown country was Israel, implying that Krishna is Moses and that this individual led the Exodus from the Indus Valley to Israel.
