BRAHMAN: THE DISCOVERY OF THE GOD OF ABRAHAM: M. M. NINAN
“The people of the Indus Valley also appear to have worshipped a male god. The most
important depiction of an imagined Hinduism god is seal number 420. Many other seals have been
found depicting the same figure, but not in the same detail as number 420. The deity is wearing a
headdress that has horns, the shape being reminiscent of the crescent moon that modern image of
Siva shows on his forehead.
What are thought to be linga stones have been dug up. Linga stones in modern Hinduism are used
to represent the erect male phallus or the male reproductive power of the god Siva (my note: Or is it
so? I have some Saivite vehemently repudiatinf it. I have seen some of these metalic lingas in
the San Jose, California in front of houses.I believe it has something to do with the telephone lines).
But again, these stones could be something entirely different from objects of religious
worship. Even today, Siva is worshiped in both human form and that of the phallus. The deity
sitting in a yoga-like position suggests that yoga may have been a legacy of the very first great
culture that occupied India.” http://www.ancient.eu/article/230/
“The so-called Pashupati seal, showing a seated and possibly ithyphallic (having an erect
penis) figure, surrounded by animals. Gregory L. Possehl (1941 – 2011), who was a Professor
Emeritus of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania and renown authority on the Indus
Sarasvati Civilisation has concluded that while it would be appropriate to recognize the figure as a
deity, regarding it as a proto-Shiva, something which has been done by other researcher, would be
going too far.” http://www.humanjourney.us/preAxialHarappa4.html
As it stands without any literature or consistent repeated icons which can be definitely identified as
religious objects we cannot make any statement regarding the religion of Indus civilization. One
thing is certain; they did not have a temple or idols. They left no definite identifiable icons of
religion. This is common to the Abrahamic and als in Iranic Aryan civilizations.
Like wise this figure is supposed to represent the Priestly King of Harappa.
