ISRAEL

By Stephen Knapp

The name “Israel” actually is derived from the Sanskrit word Ishwaralaya, which means the abode of “Isha,” or Krishna, God. The name Jerusalem also is derived from Yerushaleim, or the Sanskrit Yedu-Ishalayam, which signifies a township of Lord Krishna. “Isha” means God, the Supreme Controller, and “Yedu” refers to Yadu and the Yadu dynasty, which is in relation to Krishna. Furthermore, “Yedu-ish” comes from a Sanskrit term signifying Lord Krishna as chief of the Yadu clan. Therefore, Judaism is nothing but a form or derivative of “Yeduism.” Thus, there is a relation with this area to the followers of the Vedic tradition and the worship of Lord Krishna.

Nearby, Palestine gets its name from the modern distortion of the name of the Vedic sage Pulestin who had his abode there. The hill on which he used to light his sacrificial fire dedicated to Lord Shiva still bears the name “Har Homa,” referring to the Homa Vedic fire ritual. Many such Sanskrit names in the region show the Vedic connection this area once had. Even today the blue star in the flag of Israel in a Laksmi Yantra and it's also similar to Skanda yantra. There is no doubt that Vedic culture is still living in Israel.
