I think it's safe to say that there is a lot of Hindu symbolism in
the New Testament's `Book of Revelation', and that you can find some
serious connections between the Hebrew version of Genesis and Hinduism.
For instance, the Hebrew word `shiva', meaning `seven', is repeated
often enough in Genesis, and there is a reference to `my rainbow',
which is pronounced `qashti' in Hebrew. Likewise, in Hebrew, the
name `Abram' has four letters, and gets changed to a five-letter name.
And, Abraham is married to Sarah, something that ought to ring a bell
when thinking of Brahma and Sarasvati. (Remember that Brahma emerges
from the golden egg with five heads, and is reduced to four heads by
Shiva.)
Likewise, as was mentioned, `Shiva' means `Seven' in Hebrew. And,
Shiva has two sons, one with six heads, and another with two names
that are the masculine and feminine of `five' (Ganesh and Ganesa).
There are other correspondences that indicate that Brahman had
dealings with the Hebrews and Christians, including some scientific
riddles in certain Hindu legends that are of the same form as the
scientific riddles in the Old Testament.
