Miraculous Births: Both Moses and Krishna were born under extraordinary circumstances. Moses was born to Hebrew parents during a time when the Pharaoh ordered the killing of all male Hebrew infants. To save him, his mother placed him in a basket on the Nile River, where he was found and adopted by the Pharaoh's daughter. Similarly, Krishna was born to Devaki and Vasudeva but was prophesied to kill Kamsa, Devaki's brother, who had been killing her children. To protect him, he was smuggled out of prison shortly after birth.
Leadership and Lawgiving: Both figures are recognized as lawgivers within their respective traditions. Moses is credited with receiving the Ten Commandments from God on Mount Sinai, which form a foundational legal and ethical framework for Judaism
In Hindu tradition, Krishna is associated with guiding the principles of Dharma (righteousness) and is often linked to various texts that outline moral laws, such as the Bhagavad Gita.
Divine Connection: Moses is viewed as a prophet who communicated God's will to the Israelites, while Krishna is considered an avatar of Vishnu, embodying divine principles on Earth. Both figures serve as intermediaries between the divine and humanity, guiding their followers through challenges.
Themes of Liberation: The narratives surrounding both figures include themes of liberation from oppression. Moses led the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt, a pivotal event known as the Exodus. Krishna's life also includes elements of liberation, particularly in his role in the Mahabharata, where he assists the Pandavas against their oppressors.
Some scholars propose that these similarities arise from deeper historical connections between ancient cultures. For instance, a theory suggests that both Moses and Krishna may share common origins in the Indus Valley civilization. This perspective posits that similar narratives emerged independently due to shared human experiences rather than direct influence.
