Hi Ananda,

Neither the Hebrew faith or the Hindu faith preceded each other. They happened at the same time.

The Brahmans moved eastward into the area we now call India. They brought with them the names Sarah and Brahma. Abraham had 3 wives, Sarah, Hagar, and Keturah. Sarah, the mother of Jacob /Israel, Hagar, mother of the Arab peoples, and Keturah, mother of the Brahmans. Each family was taught of Abraham, then moved into different lands later as their families grew. Which explains why the Brahmans and Hindus, the Arabs, and the Israelites and Jews all have similar names and similar stories.

Gene Matlock who posts here has obtained vast amountsof information on the Hindus and Abraham and Sarah. Gene believes all the world's religions began in India, but here is where we differ.

Then there is information in the Bible in the book of Genesis about Abraham, "the father of many nations."

And a good "google search" should turn up some more information on this, also.

Kind Regards,
Kimberly
