Vedic influence in Greece

There are many connections of Greece with the Vedic Culture;

• Indra whirling his thunderbolt appears to be the same as Jupiter, Chrisn (Krishna) and his nine Gopis are evidently Apollo and the Muses.

• The fact that Krishna was the God of Greece is proved by the silver coins made by Agathaclose, a Greek ruler of the 2nd century B.C. These coins bear the imprint of Lord Krishna and his brother Balrama and are on display in several museums.

• Furthermore, a large mosaic of young Krishna playing his flute, standing cross-legged under a tree white grazing cows, hangs in the museum in Corinth.
