Indian Mythical Creatures II

My earlier post “ Indian Mythical Creatures ” stated the similarities between the mythical beings of India and that of the western countries. Now I have found more similarities. These mythical beings are very commonly seen but we ignore them. Hollywood filmmakers still use these creatures in movies and hence they are part of the Popular Culture just like ware-wolf and vampires and witches. These are Griffin, Sphinx, dragons etc. They also had Indian counterparts as well. But as we have not preserved and presented them in movies properly these creatures and unknown. The European creatures and their Indian counterparts are as follows: Indian Griffin Griffin(European):- Griffins are partly eagle and partly lion with body of lion but wings and head of an eagle. These creatures were and still are used in emblems, coat of arms of European countries and also in stories and movies like Harry Potter series.

Beware of the Brainwashers

Brainwashers are defined as “the entity which feed things in your mind and make you believe it, follow it and use you for their benefit.” Well this is my definition.

They always portray the opposition’s thoughts, workings in bad light. And as part of political democracy, the masses agree with them and s...

The Apocalypse & Post World

It might be a work of fiction but “ apocalypse ” was prophesized in almost every civilization or religion whether it’s the ancient Native American civilizations like Mayas & Incas , or in Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. Every civilization has referred it as end of humanity or end of civilization. But in most of the reference it is described that it’s not complete end but a beginning of a new civilization. In Christianity it is said that God will be back to kill the Anti-Christ, world will experience apocalypse and few people shall survived & God shall guide for a recreating of human civilization. In Hinduism also it is said that the 10 th avatar of Lord Vishnu shall come i.e. “ Lord Kalki ” & kill the demon “Kali” which shall end the world & the Kali Yuga i.e. Dark Age. He shall rule earth for some time & Satya Yuga i.e. Truth Age will begin, & human civilization will be revived. Historical R...
