 |  |  | Mathura: Sacred
Revelations - Christ and KrishnaSacred Revelations: Christ and Krishna Both Krishna and Christ appeared on earth to help us evolve spiritually. The Supreme, though unborn and undying, reveals itself in human form to help us overcome the illusions of ignorance and self-centredness, of hatred and cruelty, through love and compassion. There are interesting similarities in the life and precepts of Krishna and Christ. Kansa and Herod - one the king of Mathura, the other, of Palestine - were forewarned that they would die at the hands of a child yet to be born. So, they went about slaughtering newborns.

 |  |  | Mathura: Encyclopedia II - Indo-Scythians - The Indo-Scythians and BuddhismThe Indo-Scythians seem to have been followers of Buddhism, and many of their practices apparently continued those of the Indo-Greeks.
Indo-Scythians - Mathura lion capital.
The Mathura lion capital, which associates many the Indo-Scythian rulers from Maues to Rajuvula, mentions a dedication of a relic of the Buddha in a stupa. It also bears centraly the Buddhist symbol of the triratana, and is also filled with mentions of the bhagavat Buddha Sakyamuni, and characteristically Buddhist phrases such as:

Indo-Scythians - Abiria to Surastrene.
The first Indo-Scythian kingdom in the Indian subcontinent occupied the southern part of Pakistan (which they accesses from southern Afghanistan), in the areas from Abiria (Sindh) to Surastrene (Gujarat), from around 110 to 80 BCE. They progressively further moved north into Indo-Greek territory until the conquests of Maues, circa 80 BCE.
The Indo-Scythians ultimately established a kingdom in the northwest, based in Taxila, with two Great Satraps, one in Mathura in the east, and one in Surastrene (Gujarat) in the southwest.

 |  |  | Mathura: Encyclopedia II - Indo-Scythians - OriginsThe ancestors of the Indo-Scythians are thought to be Sakas (Scythian) tribes, originally settled in southern Siberia, in the Ili river area.
Around 175 BCE, the Yuezhi tribes (probable ancestors to the Tocharians) who lived in the Tarim Basin (modern Xinjiang and Kansu areas), were defeated by the Xiongnu (Huns) tribes, and had to migrate towards the West into the Ili river area. There, they displaced the Sakas, who had to migrate south into Ferghana and Sogdiana. According to the Chinese historical c ...
