    The Great Serpent Mound is a 1,348-foot (411 m)-long,three-foot-high prehistoric effigy mound on a plateau of the Serpent Mound crater along Ohio Brush Creek in Adams County, Ohio. Maintained within a park by the Ohio Historical Society, it has been designated a National Historic Landmark by the United States Department of Interior. The Serpent Mound of Ohio was first reported from surveys by Ephraim Squire and Edwin Davis in their historic volume Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley, published in 1848 by the newly founded Smithsonian Museum.’

    ncluding all three parts, the Serpent Mound extends about 1,370 feet (420 m), and varies in height from less than a foot to more than three feet (30–100 cm). Conforming to the curve of the land on which it rests, with its head approaching a cliff above a stream, the serpent winds back and forth for more than eight hundred feet and seven coils, and ends in a triple-coiled tail. The serpent head has an open mouth extending around the east end of a 120-foot (37 m)-long hollow oval feature.Most of them are depicted with the snake eating an egg or with eggs in the general vicinity,[5]though some scholars posit that the oval feature symbolizes the sun, the body of a frog, or merely the remnant of a platform. The effigy’s extreme western feature is a triangular mound approximately 31.6 feet (9.6 m) at its base and long axis. There are also serpent effigies in Scotland and Ontario that are very similar.

    Various theories have been advanced on the meaning of this relic.

    Built by members of the Adena culture,

    the Hopewell culture, or the Fort Ancient culture.,

    Allegheny people.

    There is also a Theory that states how a comet-like Venus could have seemed to emerge from Jupiter as in ancient Hindu and Greek myths.There are serious suggestions that the serpent is intimately connected with the heavens. Several writers have suggested that the serpent is a model of the constellation we call the Little Dipper, its tail coiled about the north star.

     

    the cosmos is often thought of as having three basic levels – i.e.,

    Upperworld, earth, and Lowerworld . These three levels are vertically connected by an axis mundi. In Native American cosmology, the Upperworld is the realm of the sky, sun, and stars, as well as powerful celestial birds known as Thunderbirds. By contrast, the Lowerworld is a watery world, located opposite to the Upperworld. It is the realm of fishes, frogs, snakes, and related creatures. Chief of the Lowerworld creatures is either the Great Horned Serpent or Underwater Panther. The Upperworld and Lowerworld are antithetical to each other.”

    The attributes of the Water Serpent- Water Spirit include :

    a) an unusually long tail and often represented with a man face with horns in petro glyphs

    b) often accompanied by other water animals

    c) ruled the waters- underworld-not a bad place

    d) could come to the earth level in the form of a man (6)( William F Romain, Director of the Serpent Mound Project, in his article about the Newark Earthworks)

    The Americas are the Patala Loka described b the Puranas of Hinduism.

    Here is another example of a Serpent Mound River Stone Artifact. Note the extended snake mouth jaws with a circle in it.

    The Incas’s ancestors were Tamils.

    Please read my post on this.

    More archeological evidence has come to light on the Indian connection of South America.

    Most of you in India are familiar with the Charak Puja ceremonial observed in Bengal and several States in South India. This Hindu Ceremonial also observed in Mexicohistorian call it the mexicon and peru. The Spanish Valador ritual. A relief of Bayon central temple of Angkor Thom inCambodia represents a rite similar to the Mexico Valador. The use of parasol (Chhatra) is an age-old sign of royalty and rank in India, Burma, China and Japan. The Maya Astec and the Incas also used it as a sign of royalty. Frescoes of Chak Multum in Yucatan show two types of parasols both of which correspond to types still in use in South-East Asia.’

    Incas celebrated it as “Inti Raymi”

    This was celebrated 24 June.

    The Nagas of the Patala Loka lived under water,

    They were Blue/Black in color.

    The can enter the earth and assume Human Forms.

    Lord Krishna killed  Kaliya by entering deep into the waters and was there quite some das before he emerged , killing Kaliya.

    Bhima spent few months in the Patala Loka after having been poisoned by Duryodhana and pushed into river waters.

    He married a Naga Girl and had a son through her.

    In Ramayana, the Moola Sena of Ravana came from down South to assist him in his battle with Rama.

    Lord Vishnu went down the sea and killed Hiranyaksha.

    And the Puranas describe differnt toes of Serpents.

    The Vedas were rescued for the deep-sea, Patala by Vishnu.

    Considering all these references, the fact that all other archeological finds in the Americas, and the evidence of Sanatana Dharma having been present throughout the world and the Astronomical details provided by Vedic Texts having been proved right, one can look for Sanatana Dharma connection.

    I am searching for more material and shall come back.

    Inputs welcome.

  • Manu Adhitya Adisesha Agastya In New Zealand Maoris

    Everything about Human migration started with Tsunami.

    All world culture have reference to Tsunami or the Great Flood.

    The  migration began.

    Ancient Tamil literaure speaks of three Tsunamis.

    And the land mass had a different look from what we know of  today.

    We had two Super Continents Gondwana and Laurasia.

    The landmass of India was connected most of Australia, Africa.

    The legends and etymology of the cultures of the world point to Sanatana Dharma connection everywhere.

    Now in this article we shall look into some of them  relating New Zealand.

    References to Manu, Adhitya and Agastya are found in the Maori tribes of New Zealand.

    Agastya.

     

    ‘The Gamilaraay or Kamilaroi (see below for other spellings) language is a Pama–Nyungan language of the Wiradhuric subgroup found mostly in south-east Australia. It was the traditional language of the Kamilaroi people, but is now moribund—according toEthnologue, there were only 35 speakers left in 2006, all mixing Gamilaraay and English.[6] However, there are thousands of people of mixed descent both within the native populations as well as immigrant populations, who identify themselves as Kamilaroi. Kamilaroi is also taught in some Australian schools.

    The meaning of Southern Cross in the language is “meeting place under the Southern Cross’ .

    Crux /ˈkrʌks/, located in the deep southern sky, is the smallest yet one of the most distinctive of the 88 modern constellations. Its name is Latin for cross, and it is dominated by a cross-shaped asterism that is commonly known as the Southern Cross. Although visible to the Ancient Greeks, it was seen as part of the constellation Centaurus, and not defined or accurately mapped till the 16th century.

    It is he Trishanku spoken of in Hinduism.

    This star was used to point the South as the Pole Star was to identify the North by the Navigators.

     

    The star Canopus which was used as a south polar star for ship navigation in the southern hemisphere, was named for Agastya Kumbhaja. That Kumbhaja star rises in March near the Southern Cross as the Indian Ocean becomes
    calm before the monsoon trade winds begin blowing from India towards Asia. Agastya also means “from the mind of Indra and Shiva”. 2500 years ago, Agastya Kumbhaja was the uncle of Kaundinya in Tamil Nadu, and a Kaundinya prince ruled the first Hindu kingdom in Cambodia, 2000 years ago. Australia has names and legends of the Southern Cross, and Gamilari language has a word meaning “meeting place under the Southern Cross’. The South Pole is on the axis of Meru. Coombadjha is sacred to Bundjalung and Gambaingirr people.

    I have posted an article as to how the Star Canopus validates the Puaranas and Tamil lterature.

    Maori tribes have several names for Agastya/Canopus star:

    Ariki= High born (one of the seven virtues of sages is high birth)

    Atutahi, Aotahi = all these are corrupted form of AGATHI (ya)

    Tapu = Tapas (penance).

     

    Food is offered to the star as offering. This shows the respect and worship of Maoris.

    One mythology says that Atutahi was left out of the basket when Tane wove it. This is a Hindu story where he was known to be born out of a pot (basket). Agastya is called Kumbha muni, Kalasi Suta, Ghatodbhava and Kumbha sambhava all meaning pot born or basket born. Atutahi sounds Agathi.

    It is interesting to compare the veneration, worship, food offering and star status with that of the Hindu Agastya. Hindus also has his name in Sraddha mantra ( ancestor worship). Sanskrit saying praises him as the patron saint of the sailors:

    Agastyodaye jalani  prasidanti = when the star Agastya rises, the waters become calm.

    Manu.

     

    Now, interestingly, our history states that around 1000AD, a “new wave” of Polynesian peoples arrived in New Zealand (Maoris), speaking the Malayo-Polynesian tongues. Coincidence they arrived the same time as the Tamil Navigators here?

    It is more plausible, since this is about the time of the great Sailendra Dynasty, that these Maori peoples speaking related languages to the Indonesians etc. of S. E. Asia, were distributed throughout the Pacific by Tamil traders and Ships, that arrived in New Zealand.

    The sacred Maori serpent and water-monster is the Taniwha (pron. ‘Tani-pha’). New Zealand has no serpents, showing it is an imported myth, and these people have some kind of serpent-worship ancestory. We note that In Vedic Dharma, Twashtar is the Creator-God who was father of the Serpent-King Vritra. Perhaps this is who they trace their ancestory from.

    The Maori tale states Maui (counterpart of Manu) pulled New Zealand out of the sea in the form of a Fish – relating to the Vedic tale of Manu and the fish, Matsya, who saved him. Maori, hence, also trace back to Manu Satyavrata – linking them, once again to Vedic mythology and Asia.

    The Supreme of Maori society was known as “Ariki”, which meant Chief, Leader or Priest. It can hence be related to the term for Vedic Kshatriyas (warriors) and Brahmins (priests) – ‘Arya’ or Aryan, which denoted a noble – a common term used to denote the great Vedic peoples.

    The Indonesian Malayo-Polynesian languages’ Indic shades are hence also found in the Polynesian branch, showing a direct link with India – and again supporting the view that maoris came across from these lands during the Sailendra reign, as migrants on Tamil ships.

    The Maori word for the Sun is “Ra” – which is very close to ancient Egyptian and the Sanskrit Solar God-King Rama – of renown fame throughout Indonesia and other S. E. Asian lands through Ramayana. His triumph over the Rakshasas of Lanka who ruled S. E. Asian lands and freed them, is well-known. Ramayana mentions Yavadvipa (Java, Indonesia).

    This, again, connects Maoris even closer with the Vedic culture of S. E. Asia and suggests the earlier Moriori were also an Indic peoples of this clan. For, how did the Tamils get here at the same time as Maori otherwise? New Zealand hence, must have been known.

    Adhitya.

    The Maori term for “God” or deity is “Atua” – close to the Vedic “Aditya” – meaning Luminary or Sun-God. It is also cognate to Deva or God in the Rig Veda, showing such Vedic ties, also.

    In dress and architecture, the Maori resemble the Naga peoples of Eastern India and S. E. Asia and those of the Americas – hence forming one of the many Naga peoples. We note of the Nahuatl language in the Americas and the ancient King Nahush of ancient India – who became demonic and was cursed to become a Naga (serpent) by the Sage Agastya (who is associated with teaching in Southern India, Sri Lanka and S. E Asia).

    The Maori also share the S. Indian flood tales, associated with Agastya. According to Bhagavata – Manu Satyavrata was a Dravida (S.Indian) King that sailed into Himalayas after the last flood, along with the Rishis. Dravida lands include Gujerat and Tamil Nadu – where ancient Kingdoms, some 7000 years old have recently been found under the waters.

    The Legend of Maui fishing up Aotearoa

    Whilst out fishing with his brothers in a canoe, Maui hauls a magnificent fish-land out of the sea which he caught on a hook made from the jaw bone of his sorcerer grandmother. The fish-land is complete with houses and birds.

    Maui is worried what the Gods will think about what he’s done so he leaves his brothers to seek forgiveness.

    His brothers argue over possession of the fish and their ensuing struggle leaves marks from their weapons on the face of the fish. These marks are the valleys and mountains of New Zealand.

    The fish-land ‘Te ikaroa a Maui’ becomes the North Island the hook or ‘Te matau a Maui’ is Mahia peninsula in the Hawkes Bay. The canoe they brothers were fishing in ‘Te waka a Maui’ is now the South Island and the anchor holding the boat ‘Te punga a Maui’ is Stewart Island.

    Taranga was the name of Maui’s mother, when he was born (the fifth son) she thought he was stillborn and so wrapped him in her tikitiki (hair-knot) and threw him into the sea. Maui was saved from the sea by his tupuna (ancestor) whom he learned magic from as he grew up.
