Dear friends,
i will be very simple at the outset ... because I can guess that more then 81 writers had attempted to write reviews on this subject which is quite un common.. ( since who reads the books now these days) ..moreover history is always been very complicated ..
any way allow me to take you to a sojourn almost 2 millinia back...
The old rules were changing and so were changing Cultures .... for more than 7000 years human being worshipped the Deity ’’Feminine’’ who alone can give birth to the progeny which was considered a Miracle .. so the earliest cultures; be it our own Indus velly or Dajla-Farat always worshiped Woman deities who were strong ..
it was around 2000 years ago Humans begun to understand the complexities of Birth and slowly they came to know that the Woman cannt produce ’’Miracles’’ unless concieve by a Man ...
this revelation was so strong for man kind that it litellary changed the Parameters of Worship ..for the first time cultures became ’’paternalistic ’’ from ’’Maternalistic’’
this change didnt went un noticed ( You bet , our own Mahabharata is the live example , just recall that Pandavas were called as ’’Kunti Putra’’ and krishna was known as Deveki Nadan’’ )
Marry Magadaline was married to one of the most controversial person of the history ’’jesus Christ’’ and this theory has elements of truth.after all Jews were the community where unmarried persons were not appreciated.so the theory goes that he was married to Marry .
through out the histroy Church used the symbol of Jesus to attain Power over people and in this attemp church banished the thought of jesus as a human being , because human beings cannt have the power to mesmerize common folks.
this attempt of Church is similar to attempts in india where some devotees wanted to idolize ’’Bhagwan Rajnish’’ and transform him from Human to God.
this book is an attempt to recall Marry Magadeline through discussions on ’’Priory of Scion’’ a secret Society or cult which is torch bearer of Marry’s blood line ..
the book is engrossing for all who have an interest for Histroy for others it will be a complete bore...
the author researched well and I congratulate him for his bravado ..
read it once to understand history of Christanity ..
i merely wished that our own writers can talk about our own histroy which is far more complex and engrossing then any other culture’s history because we are the oldest civilization of the world.
regards
vijay
