El Shaddai, translated as the Almighty, is the characteristic name for the Canaanites' high God.  Shaddai is from the Akkadian Shadu, meaning mountain, say traditional sources. The student of etymology cannot help but see the resemblance to the Sada family of words in Sanskrit.  Moreover, in Hindu scriptures Shiva dwells mostly in the mountains. The eternal one dwelling in the mountains would is an apt description of Shiva to the Hindu.  And now that we know that Canaan was named after Kannan, a Tamil name of Krishna, it becomes even more clear that El Shaddai of the Canaanites is the same deity as El Shaddai (Shadday) of the Jews. We have already seen elsewhere in this study how pervasive the personage and name of Shiva was in ancient Hebrew.

   Below are two of the meanings of El Shaddai in Ancient Hebrew, as defined in James Strong's Hebrew Dictionary section of his Exhaustive Concordance to the Old and New Testament.  Notice the two different aspects of the word.

  One aspect of Shaddai means powerful, impregnable and almighty in Ancient Hebrew.  This relates to the Sanskrit definitions dealing with the aspects of Deity as always existing. As such Sada in Sanskrit means always, ever, every time, continually, perpetually.

   The other aspect of Shaddai deals with destruction, to ravage, dead, destroy, oppress, utterly lay waste.  If the reader has read the other parts of this study dealing with the aspects Shiva and Hara as the destroyer, and how the sabaoth, the military Lord of Hosts, received its name from Saba, a name of Shiva, the reader will realize that the Destroyer aspect of deity was pervasive in ancient Judaism.  In Sanskrit this aspect is defined as sinking in, sinking down, exhaustion, weariness, perishing, decay, loss, ruin, despondency, despair. All of these relate to destruction in one form or another.

  Sada also means Clarity, Purity, and Movement, and Fruit, which we may take literally as well as symbolically, that is, as manifestation.
 

7706 Shadday means the Almighty: Almighty. It is from

7703 shadad, a primitive root, meaning to be burly, powerful (passively to be impregnable.; by implication to ravage:--dead, destroy, oppress, utterly lay waste.
 

  Shaddai is from Sada in Sanskrit. The following definitions are selected from the Cologne Digital Lexicon of Sanskrit and English on the web. Entree Sada:

Sinking in (of wheels),  Sinking down , Exhaustion, Weariness, Perishing, Decay, Loss, Ruin, Despondency, Despair.

Always , Ever , Every time , Continually, Perpetually. Cologne Digital Lexicon of Sanskrit and English.

The above definition is confirmed in the Theosophical Glossary:

Sadaika-rupa, the immutable nature, or essence; changeless form. (sada, always; eka, one; rupa, form.)

    These latter definitions of Sada, purity, clearness, cleanness, going and motion, and fruit, have reference to the saddhu as well, whose purity leads "straight to the goal."  The first three definitions are variations on innocence; the latter three have to do with manifestation or fruition.

    The Sadhu, or Saddhu, is in short a holy man. (Literally, "leading straight to the goal."). The definitions of the word Saddhu are like a human model of the attributes of deity.  If we break Sadhu down into Sad(a) and Hu, we have Sada, the Eternal, and Hu, one who offers sacrifice to, or honors or worships Sada, the Eternal.  The Saddhu, the holy man of India. testified to Shiva, to Krishna (Vishnu), to Kali, Parvati, or other members of the Hindu pantheon, also testified to having compassion for all creatures, which is a common teaching of all these deities.
 

   An attribute of promoting goodness is that it destroys evil. The positive attributes of the saddhus, the holy ones, help to destroy what is unholy and evil, i.e. evil. So, in that respect, the saddhu also fits the meanings of the word Shaddai that refer to destruction.
 

Entry 4523, Saddoukaios, meaning a Sadducean or follower of a certain heretical sect. From the "Greek Dictionary" of Strong's Exhaustive Concordance to the Old and New Testament.

   The Essenes in their works acknowledge that they are the sons of Zadok, or Sadok.
Their vegetarianism and egalitarianism, or communalism, their daily habits, and their teachings in general, fit in with the attributes of the Saddhu that we have seen above. They were a centered, communal, vegetarian, egalitarian, monastic order, dedicated to a stricter form of spirituality.  The Essenes regarded themselves as the pure remnant of Judaism.

    Those who have read the earlier parts of this study, or the research of Sword of Truth, Viewzone, Hinduism Today, and allsouls.com will understand that Canaan,  Egypt, India and Ethiopia all contained their own local versions of Sabeanism. The Canaanites worshiped Elisheva ("my God is Seven or God Seven), who is Shiva of the Hindus, Seb of the Egyptians, and Seba or Saba of the Ethiopians.

    It is acknowledged that Zadok means righteous, and Zadok is the name of a person made a high priest by David. According to Josephus it was also the name of the first high priest hierophant of the High Temple of Solomon.  The Zadok or Sadoc lineage was connected with Aaron, with Jesse and David, and with Jesus. The lineage of Zadok or Sadok was not a family line; it was a spiritual line of Hindu holy men, the saddhus.   The Sadok line became the Sadducees, zadduki or sadduki in Hebrew. The Essenes regarded themselves as the Sons of Zadok, and a Dead Sea Scroll of the Essenes is named the "Zadokite Fragment."

   The Essenes also in their work "On Medicine" credit the wise men of India. The different versions of the Essenes' name have an ancient Hebrew/Hindu source. Jessaeans, comes from Jesse or Yishaiy, which is a transliteration of Isa, a name of Shiva. Osseans comes from Osseo, also a name of Shiva. And Esaoi is also a form of Issa.  Shiva is also known as Isana and Asani, both of which names easily transliterate as Essene. Pliny the Elder states that the Essenes existed for thousands of ages, meaning that they existed from the times of remotest antiquity. The Essenes themselves say they originated with Shem, the son of Noah. Notably, even in the Old Testament, it is the heritage of Shem which is credited with having the greatest longevity, which was also a noted attribute of the Essenes, whom historians such as Pliny and Philo credit as commonly having centenarians reaching the age of 120.

   The Essenes' connection with the sons of Sadok (who  is described as an ancestor of Jesus) or Zadok, is a connection with the Saddhus, the holy men of India.  The Zadok lineage was connected with Aaron, with Jesse and David, and with Jesus. They became the Sadducees, which is rendered as zadduki or sadduki in Hebrew.  The lineage of Zadok or Sadok was not primarily a family line; it was a spiritual line of Hindu holy men. Having Zadok as an ancestor in fact links Jesus even more securely to the Essenes, who called themselves the Sons of Zadok.

     And the Sons of Zadoc are mentioned as those who are in the ancestry of of the Essenes who were, of course, the teachers of the vegetarian Jesus who cleansed the temple in a dramatic one day protest against the animal sacrifices. Combine that event, the cleansing of the temple, with the stated mission of Jesus in ("Epistle to the Hebrews") to abolish the animal sacrifices, and the contentions of orthodox Christianity fall like a house of cards.

     A Saadya to the people of Samaria, which students of Hinduism and Judaism know was named after Samarya in India, was also a witness, or one who testified to the truth. Names of Shiva such as Saba are seen as the root of names such as Sabbeus in Samaria.

   Samarian chronicles commenting on the Sadducees reveal a definite consciousness of human immortality and expose the lie told by Paul and the synoptic gospel writers in their attempt to demean the vegetarian tradition of Jesus and his earliest followers. The lie says that the Sadducees not only did not believe in the resurrection, but did not believe in angels or the spirit either.  To the contrary, the saddhu lineage, the sadducees of Samaria, like some of those in Palestine taught the permanence or immortality of the spirit. They did not believe in a physical resurrection, or the spiritual resurrection.  And like the Essenes and Nazarenes in Jerusalem, they protested against the animal sacrifices and they gave testimony to, or testified to Shiva or other deities of the Hindu pantheon, and to the compassion for all creatures taught by Shiva Pasupati, Lord of Beasts, and Protector of cattle. There is little doubt that Micah's prophecy that the temples of Jerusalem and Samaria would be destroyed was shared by the pure remnant inhabitants in Samaria.
 

    What is the origin of the K sound in Sadok and Zadok, in sadduki and zadduki? Very likely it is the ancient Hebrew particle of affirmation, ak.

389 ak, a particle of affirmation. From Strong's "Hebrew Dictionary."

The addition of K sounds in the Yucatan, seen by us as the syllable que, may be seen as a carryover to the western hemisphere of the eastern Hebrew/(Hindu) use of ak as a particle of affirmation.

  Many students of history now acknowledge what is indisputable, that many of the deities of the Yucatan Maya and Aztecs were deities of the Hindu pantheon.  The assertion that some of the ten tribes settled in the western hemisphere, in Turtle Island, the Yucatan area and further south, has too much evidence supporting it to be discounted.  And we may expect that those who try to discount the evidence are doing so in the service of orthodoxies seeking to hide their heretical origins.
