<strong>H<strong>in</strong>duism</strong>: <strong>What</strong> <strong>Really</strong> Happened <strong>in</strong> <strong>India</strong> – M. M. N<strong>in</strong>an<br />

The historical development of this<br />

allegorical myth of Krishna as lover can<br />

be read at:<br />

“Radha …was the wife of Ayana and the<br />

daughter of the cowherd Vrishabhanu<br />

and his wife, Kamalavati. Radha was the<br />

mistress of Krishna dur<strong>in</strong>g that period of<br />

As is clear we cannot take Krishna’s life except as a myth or as an<br />

allegory evolv<strong>in</strong>g through many centauries from characters of many<br />

historical persons. I would not like to expand on this. But, these are<br />

myths to be expla<strong>in</strong>ed away <strong>in</strong> some manner.<br />

Does Krishna parallel K<strong>in</strong>g Solomon <strong>in</strong> this respect?<br />

1Ki 11:3 He had seven hundred wives, pr<strong>in</strong>cesses, and three hundred<br />

concub<strong>in</strong>es; and his wives turned away his heart.<br />

Such behaviors were typical of the K<strong>in</strong>gs of that period. Adultery,<br />

violation of women etc were common among the K<strong>in</strong>gs.
