Hinduism: What Really Happened in India – M. M. Ninan “Krishna and Megathenes Heliodorus 105 Megasthenes the Greek historian was ambassador (306–298 BC) at the Indian court of Sandrakottos or Chandragupta, where he gathered materials for Indica, from which Arrian, Strabo, and others borrowed. “Megasthenes wrote of Krishna under the pseudonym of Heracles” The assertion about Megasthenes "The Greek ambassador definitely states that Krsna was regarded as an incarnation of Visnu" is evidently baseless. All that Megasthenes is reported to have said is "This Herakles is held in especial honour by Sourasenoi, an Indian tribe who possess two large cities Mathora and Cleisobora and through whose country flows a navigable river called Iobares." “Megasthenes never talked about Krishna. Anyone who has basic knowledge of Krishna and who has bothered to read the extant portions of the Indica will not even by a wide stretch of imagination, equate Heracles to Krishna. I wonder who this Sarvajna was who came up with this ridiculous idea. Let us see what Megasthenes said about Heracles. Heracles was an Indian hero king who was getting old at 40. He was worried about finding a suitable
Hinduism: What Really Happened in India – M. M. Ninan 106 match for his daughter. He searched high and low, and found no one. So finally he married her himself! Now I have never heard of such a story attributed to Krishna in any literature. One wonders if Megasthenes did come to India at all. To my knowledge there is no Indian God who married his own daughter, although it is possible that there may have been a Greek God who did so. This being the situation, to connect Heracles and Krishna is absurd.” http://www.audarya-fellowship.com/ubbthreads.php This type of building up fantasies based on fallacies creates an atmosphere where the proponents themselves come to believe what they are saying. It is instigated often by one pious deviant. Others then take off at a tangent. Why did such a state of mind come in the lofty Hinduism? We should look into the basic philosophy taught which are not always known to the honest followers. What are we up against in academic research? Finding Yudhisthira unwilling to tell a lie, Krishna overcame his reluctance by a long exhortation, in the course of which he announced his ethics of untruth in the following edifying text from Vasishtha's Smriti. "In marriage, in amorous dealings, when one's life is in danger, when the whole of one's possession is going to be lost, and when a Brahman's interest is at stake, untruth should be told. The wise have said that speaking untruth on these five occasions is not a sin." http://www.sikhnet.com/sikhnet/discussion.nsf/ca32680024ff68b487256 a08007e86d8/daf9fa36ea63a5ea87256afc0072869c!OpenDocument
