CHENNAI: The conch and the Sudarshana Chakra are unmistakable. Although the figures do not match popular images of Kirshna sporting a peacock feather, archaeologists are convinced that the coins are of Krishna, revered as an avatar of Vishnu.

“These square coins, dating back to 180- BC, with Krishna on one side and Balram on the other, were unearthed recently in Al Khanoun in Afghanistan and are the earliest proof that Krishna was venerated as a god, and that the worship had spread beyond the Mathura region,” says T K V Rajan, archaeologist and founder-director, Indian Science Monitor, who is holding a five-day exhibition, In search of Lord Krishna,’ in the city from Saturday.

Some times we find ourselves so near to the discovery and again we are thrown away by science and date and chronology of events. Just like the theory of relativity of Einstein helped man kind understand so many facts about the hypothesis about creation, life, and speed about it. Similarly to understand India, their ancient knowledge and wisdom, and their near real chronology one needs to jump to another platform. today is like another birth of mankind ,including Aryans, old stone age, Egyptian empire ,BC etc.,....but before this birth of world in this same geographical place man lived and events occurred and knowledge existed which were passed on to the people of this world (by miracle, mediation or by some thing else) Imagine if there was no Ramayana and no Krishna...then 1000 years back when no transport, no newspaper, no radio, no same kingdom, no same community of people etc etc.. We have a clear picture of locations, mathura, ayodhya, dwarka, lanka etc..all thousand kilometers apart in detail perspective, we have the Adams bridge ...people couldn’t have written stories and created proof or shouldn’t have had proof and so elegantly and accurately passed on the knowledge and facts to people miles apart separated by distance and other hindrances. Our predicament of position of stars(without gadgets) knowledge of medicines, astrology and palmistry and scholarship in human sciences all leaves us in mystery. There is another dimension to the existence of mankind which we haven’t seeked to know. Imagine the whole world gets destroyed today and the land remains...and man kind again develops from their prototypes into knowledgeable beings as in today. then they may gain knowledge of us as gods who flew in the air , could talk with each other kilometers away, travel to another planet, our magnificent building skills and our near to close locations of existence (through divine interference or logical conclusions by digging information) When we are trying to figure out the existence and validity of Mahabharata and Ramayana we are really trying to unearth something which is beyond our capacity.
