`MHATAMA GANDHI JI & THREE MONKEYS'

It is believed that the preachings of three monkeys was formulated by Gandhi Ji. But it is not true. In India, Maharashtra State there is a temple at Trymbkeshhwar. A coin of 1801 were distributed to the the pilgrims. On one side of this coin preaching of three monkeys is inscribed and on the other side two monkeys.

Side-I:

  1. One monkey covered its mouth with both hands and inscribed, `don’t speak unpleasant’.
  2. One monkey covered it’s both eyes with both hands and inscribed; `don’t see evil’.
  3. One monkey covered it’s both ears with both hands and inscribed, `don’t listen’ bad.

Side-II:

One monkey has a balance in its hand and the other is sitting in front of it, inscribed:

`Speak the truth’, `Weigh correct’.Two sides of the `COIN’ of 1801

It is very interesting to find an item in India that is older than the time of Mahatma Gandhi. Many people believe that Gandhi has introduced the three wise monkeys to India. I would very much like to come into contact with people that know more about the 3 monkeys in India from the time before Gandhi. Thank you very much. Best regards from Switzerland, Emil
PS: I am doing research on the origin of the three no evil monkeys.
