Hinduism and Taoism: with reference to three pure ones.


I am fond of Chinese foods particularly those greesy stuffs. If you go to the continental restaurant , under sounth Indian menu you will get idli sambar and dosai. Similalrly in north Indian menu (tantori, naan, roti, sabji, aalu parata etc..) and in Mexican manu you will get all those leaves ,cereals and stems and stics with attractive quotes and names (though you feel bit conjusted !). will this be the condition with Chinese menu? What all you will get Chinese menu? First will be TIBETAN menu, then Chinese mainland dishes, then CANTONESE….. (underline ) then Taiwan menu and some restauraents kind enough to serve even tailand dishes and Bhutanese thukpa (reminds our sodu kanchi , there noodles). So Chinese menu is itself a continental menu !  Politics apart. Actually we can write a cultural history based on the menu and food habits.


As I told I am fond of Chinese menu (continental menu), once I was surprised by the dish name “CANTONESE RICE” so I ordered for Cantonese rice. It again added surprise to me. The Cantonese rice is exactly like our RICE and SAMBAR except those greesy stuffs. Over the rice they poured the Cantonese gravey and served simple (no leaves and uncooked vegetables over the rice). So what I want to say is CANTON is a southern province which has its historical significance of having the oldest PORT in china!! And they were living unaffected by Mongols influence until1270AB. So something is clear from this.the northern region was ruled by Mongols and the southern region was ruled by three major emperors until the mongol invasion towards south.

So we could able to figure out something through this CANTONESE RICE, MONGOLS INVASION,SOUTHERN PROVINCE (obiviously short people) and three emperors of south along with Chinese oldest port in canton. So some factors created and manipulated a historical and cultural gap in Chinese history( not from a pure scholarly academician view ) something I found there is a cultural connectivity between Hinduism and Chinese Taoism.

Taoism

We can say Taoism as religion, way of life or a path for enlightenment along with set of doctrines and principles. Since it has doctrines and principles ,obiviously it has a founder called LAOSI. A wanderer from imperial family who was a philosopher and gave a major contribution to Chinese cultural history. A mild mystery attached to his death as he disappeared in the land of immortals. It means he went to the other province where the immortals lived. The region where he went was a southern province because his picture depicts him with buffalo and myth says laosi often travel over the buffalo. So its clear LAOSI went to south along with his doctrines and philosophy. So by now Taoism must be practiced and alive in the south province of china. (subject to cross check).if this is right then the above points could also be right.

Taoism and Hinduism

According to Taoism there exist three major gods ,they are Yùqīng, Shàngqīng, and Tàiqīng. Mostly these gods names might sounds like JIL JANG ,JAG. So for our understanding lets put like this.

YU –first pure one

SHAN- second

THAI- third pure one.

These three major gods are having certain characteristics and duty like the way Hinduism gods are having. To put it simple these three gods our MURUGAN [YU], SIVAN [SHAN] ,VINAYAGAR [THAI]. There exist a strong base for this understanding.

YU and Murugan


Yu is considered as “A jade pure one” jade means green stone. So green is ruled by lord murugan. In astrology Buddha bhagavan who actually helpful in nautre (mercury) rules the MERU MOUNTAIN. (meru mali adipathi). According to toaism YU governs the mountain where heaven exist (height) and it has golden door. (you know those stuffs, heaven , entrance , father, lalala…..). so its clear toaism YU is our murugan.

SHAN and shivan


In toaism shan is the lord of treasure and gold. Gold related to guru . he is considered as supreme pure one. He is the supreme for material gain (treasure ) and supreme for divinities. This point is enough to understand that SHAN is lord shiva. A supreme being for both the world. To put it Buddhist term this supreme bing is called as “all good budhha”. Pure related to gold and trseaure.

THAI and vinayaga


In toaism he is called as the “grand pure one”. The most powerful deity among all the three pure ones. In toaism he is the ultimate height deity and governs the earth and law. That is he is taking care of “LAW OF THINGS” that needs to be maintained and he is BLUE in colour. This god is parallel to our hindu deity lord shani or vinayagar. In hindu mythology lord shani is the malefic among the malefic. So he is the grand pure one. (big brother). Lord shani wears dark blue cloth (not the black one which our Brahmins are doing now)THAI also wears blue. Shani governs law and birth and death.toaism THAI governs LAW OF THINGS. This deity is alone called as” the grand pure one” the reason behind this is. Guru (Jupiter ) si for expansion. If you got guru you can go further. But if Saturn is misplaced or malplaced in our birth chart. We cant do anything, because satrun rules “contraction” a misplace of staurn will leads to death even if you have guru. The expansion of life cycle or the anything cannot take place if Saturn blocks that’s why THAI is called as grand pure ones and ultimate deity in toaism and the malefic among the malefic in Hinduism. Its like these three deities plays a major role in governing the wheel of dharma or the wheel of life and death or the cycle of time.

You can remove sources from internet or burn books ,but always remember our ancestors are not fools. These observations are taken from the paintings, paictures and the colours used by them. All the three are enlightened. How do I know?? Very simple, the pencil sketch shows blossomed lotus over their head !! so you can call them as buddhas but not a bodhisathvas. That means they are THREE PURE ONES !
