Chariot: Lord of the Chariot

Hindu Quotes: Lord of the Chariot

Know the Self as lord of the chariot,

The body as the chariot itself,

The discriminating intellect as charioteer,

And the mind as reins.

The senses, say the wise, are the horses;

Selfish desires are the roads they travel.

When the Self is confused with the body,

Mind, and senses, they point out, he seems

To enjoy pleasure and suffer sorrow.

- Katha Upanishad

Nagasena used the chariot as a metaphor to explain profound truths:

Chariot: Encyclopedia - Andronovo culture

The Andronovo culture is a cover term for a group of Bronze Age cultures of southern Siberia and Central Asia, ca. 2300–1000 BCE. It is probably better termed an archaeological complex or archaeological horizon. The name derives from the village of Andronovo (55°53′N 55°42′E), where in 1914, several graves were discovered, with skeletons in crouched positions, buried with richly decorated pottery. At least four sub-cultures have been since distinguished, during which the culture expands towards the south and the east:Including:

This culture is at least partially derived from the earlier Yamna culture, and is generally accepted ...

Examples used include an ancient Turkish map allegedly showing the Earth as it is seen from space, and the creation of what appears to be an airfield in Mexico by the Mayans. The two most controversial proposals were that biblical characters were inspired by the extraterrestrials, and human ...
