The Americas were the Patalas as described by Hinduism in the Puranas.
Yakshas are described as a Superior Benevolent beings and Kubera, God of Wealth, is their Chief.
The Rishis of India, Narada included were connected to the Mayans.
There are two architects in Hindu Puranas.
Mayasura was an ancient King of India and he was the architect of the Patala Loka.
The Mayans have a close relationship with this legend.
Mayans were great Astronomers and were the Hindus.
I shall be posting on the Astronomy connection between Mayas and the Hindus.
And the The Nagas were also connected to the Mayans.
To the topic on hand ,
Yaxchilan pronounced: [ʝaʃtʃiˈlan] is an ancient Maya city located on the bank of the Usumacinta River in what is now the state of Chiapas, Mexico. In the Late Classic Period Yaxchilan was one of the most powerful Maya states along the course of the Usumacinta, with Piedras Negras as its major rival.(wiki)
‘Epigraphers think that the ancient name for the city was probably the same as that of its’ realm, Pa’ Chan, meaning “Cleft (or broken) Sky“.
The lintels of Yaxchilan Temples are decorated with carvings that can be connected to carvings ofYakshas in India.
In Sanskrit PaShan (पाषण) also means stone and this could be distorted as Pa’Chan.
In Ancient India, Yakshas(यक्ष) are a class of benevolent spirits or super-natural guards who are the custodians of treasures that are hidden in the earth and in the roots of trees…
Maya, who built mystical and phenomenal structures for Yakshas and Asuras (demons) was also a Yaksha and we can related him as origin of Mayan civilization, that thrived in mexico and south america.
Sila (शिला) means stone or stone-sculpture or stone plate in sanskrit.
Yaksha-Sila (यक्षशिला) are the Yaksha’s stone-lintels in Mexico and thus the name Yaxchilan (distorted version of Yaksha-Sila).
Yakshas are mentioned in Hindu, Buddhist and Jain traditions.
There is definitely an important connection between the old Vedic people and Maya-ancestors. The Mayas are actually referred to in The Mahabharata, one of the main Hindu scriptures, as a tribe having left the Indian subcontinent. There are sources who have revealed those people to be the same as the Nagas, one of the oldest Indian tribes recorded. Those Nagas seem to have been a people, later called Danavas, with a capital Nagapur. They are referred to in another main Hindu-scripture, the Ramayana, as belonging to a Naga-Maya tribe, who is said to have transmitted their culture towards Babylonia, Egypt and Greece.”
Naga is the Sanskrit word for serpent or snake. The feathered serpent represents the Mayan God Kukulcan or Quetzacoatl, a Christ/Krishna-like figure. In those days the ancient serpent religion referred to the Serpents of Wisdom. Mercury or Hermes (Narada – see further in text) – his symbol is the caduceus : two serpents entwined around a staff.
The Tamil Connection.
“The four principal groups in ancient India were the Asuras (Assyrians or Indus Valley people), Panis (Phoenicians), Yakhus or Yakshas (subjects of Kubera, god of gold and treasure a.k.a. Nagas) and Mayas. We know them today as the Dravidians (Tamils, Malayalam, etc.)
The non Indus Valley people in ancient days were exceedingly superstitious and fearful of the Mayans. The latter were excellent international shippers and traders, builders and astronomers. Their superstitious enemies thought their accomplishments had to be magic and beyond human ability. They were ultimately driven to Ceylon where they inhabited the province of Maya. Later, they went to the Americas, having been taken there by Kubera and his Yakshas.” [12] ‘Ceylon’ in those ancient times was more than likely the now sunken land to the south of India and connected geographically to the Ceylon of today, Sri Lanka. This is the ancient Tamil country of which today’s Tamil Nadu in India is but a small remnant..
This is a major key to the understanding of their ancient Sri Lankan origins which, with southern Tamil India, extended much further south, now since sunk hundreds of thousands of years ago.When speaking of their origins, the Mayans (like the Hopis) had several names for their land: Shilanka(Xilanca) – an ancient name of Ceylon (Zeilan-Ka) Shikalanka (Xicalanca) – Ceylon. In Tamil, Shikalam.A Mayan culture hero was Ishbalanka (Xbalanca) meaning in Tamil, “Shiva of Lanka” who was supposed to have made the footprint on top of Adam’s Peak in Sri Lanka; modernly, in line with the prevailing Buddhist culture, it is known as (Gautama) ‘Buddha’s footprint.’Palenque, the ancient capital of Guatamala, Palenke (Palenque) derives from the Tamil Pal-Lanka, meaning “Protectorate of Lanka.” Guatemala (the main habitat of the Mayans) may derive from Gautemala, meaning “A Subsidiary Land of Gautama Buddha.”

Had good fun reading this but beyond that this article is complete nonsense. Just an attempt to find some similar words and stretch imaginations to connect them by hook or by crook.
“Maya” is a modern term used to refer collectively to the various peoples that inhabited this area. They did not call themselves “Maya”
The Maya people refer to themselves by ethnicity and language bonds such as Quiche in the south or Yucatec in the north (though there are many others).
The designation Maya comes from the ancient Yucatan city of Mayapan, the last capital of a Mayan Kingdom in the Post-Classic Period (from the 1220s until the 1440s)
Just because the name sounds similar doesn’t mean there is any connection.
Besides they don’t even sound similar. The Indian Maya, isn’t even pronounced like American Maayaa (माया). Indian Maya is more like Mai or मय 🤦
Yaxha is a place, more precisely an old town (pre-Colombus) which got its name from a lake, Yaxha lake and Yaxha got nothing to do with Yaksha, Yaxa’ in Mayan language simply means “Blue-Green Water”. We have deciphered 5 color names from that civilization, white (sak), black (ik’), yellow (k’an), red (chak) and blue/green (yax). Now what if someone says they had annual film festivals like Cannes just because they had a color called k’an? 😛
Such logics of “similar sounding names means common origin” is a highly childish way of thinking of history.
Also, Yaksha is anglicized pronunciation. The actual word is Yaksh and more accurately Yakkh or Jakkh, pronounced as Yaksh-uh and not Yaksh-aah. There is no AAA at the end.
Mesoamerican civilization, especially language got vague similarities with eastern asian culture, as the people in central americas migrated from east asia by crossing the frozen bering strait some 16k years back, and there are some proofs that the chinese and mayan languages originated from the same proto-language.
There are many many such things wrong in this article, but somehow people seems to enjoy, so let it be…
Thank you. Regards
It seems this Kaushik fellow has totally misunderstood the article on “Hindus Yaksha City Yaxchilan In Mexico Mayans and Tamils”… Not only that he has also tried his best to misinterpret the facts in his own best possible ways….!
Reblogged this on Desh Dharam Dosti .
Namasthe. I have some doubts to be clarified. You’ve written America as Paadhaala Lokam. But according to our vedha, Bhoolokam is the last of the 7 “Mel Lokam” and after Bhoolokam, 7 “Padhala Lokam” are there. Then how can america become so? Asura, Pani, Yaksha, Maya. These are bcz of their characters. Asura’s are max. with cruel thoughts and egoistic. Pani are really marketing persons and kshathriyaas. Pls refer this with old scriptures of veda. Yaksha is also a super-natural powered persons. Maaya is also a king, but he likes magic world more and also he belongs to viswakarmaa since because of his passion. Instead of viewing from current world, pls view these as a person from Sathya Yuga. Both views completely differs in somany places. This is only my suggestion since I’m doing these for the past 10 years with old books, elder pandits of tam & sans both, whom are highly practical and also with comparison of the history, architechts and language. Pls view from this angle, and you may get more points to sharpen your articles with authentic proofs. Have a good day JI. Pranaams.

Asuras are a group of powerful people altogether. Rakshasas are different.All Asuras need not be called as Evil. Mahabali is an example.Maya is an Asura.I have explained in some other article that at times these terms are used alkegorically and most of the time Really indicating people. Maya, Viswakarma are persons and also at times Maya is used to convey Illusion.
Mayan called for father=APPAN – Tamils still calling as Appa/Appa, en Appan =My father, Chitapan =Step Father, pariyapan=Gross Vather /Grant Father, Sit Thai=Step mother, Sina Thai /Sina Amma=Revered mother.
