  • Naga Tribe Thithi’s Lake Tamils In Tiwanucu Tiahuanaco South America

    As I have posted earlier,the Americas are the Patala Loka mentioned in the Hindu Puranas.

    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.

    ”

    Tiwanaku (Spanish: Tiahuanaco or Tiahuanacu) is a Pre-Columbian archaeological site in western Bolivia, South America. It is the capital of an empire that extended into present-day Peru and Chile, flourishing from AD 300 to 1000.

    Tiwanaku is recognized by Andean scholars as one of the most important civilizations prior to the Inca Empire; it was the ritual and administrative capital of a major state power for approximately five hundred years. The ruins of the ancient city state are near the south-eastern shore of Lake Titicaca in Tiwanaku Municipality, Ingavi Province, La Paz Department, about 72 km (45 mi) west of La Paz.’

    Tiwanaku appears to derive from Sanskrit: Diva(heaven; sky) plus Naka (mountain). Its original name also could have been Deva (heavenly; deity; god) plusNaga (serpent). The word Tiwa could also have derived from the ancient Siberian-Turkic nation of Tannu-Tiva, a.k.a. Tannu-Tuva (the biblical Tubal). Even there, Tiva, Teva, or Tuva referred to the sun or the sky.

    If the natives living near Tiwanaku gave the name Kalasaya to the mound atop which lies the impressive Portal of the Sun, we have further proof of a previous Hindu-Turkic presence in Tiwanaku.

    This word is similar to the Sanskrit Kailasa, the mountain of Kubera and Shiva (Meru)..

    In Sanskrit, Eka-apana means “Principal” or leading market, trade, or commercial center.

    There is a ruined square with this name.

    The word Titicaca has no meaning any of the Andean languages.

    In Sanskrit, the word GaGga, (GAHG-gah) means “river,” but not just any river.

    It means a river as sacred as or related to the Ganges.

    In Tamil, it is KaGkai (KAHG-ky), meaning the same as the above.

    In Sanskrit, Diti was the wife of the god Kasyapa (sea tortoise).

    Titi is the Tamil equivalent.

    Therefore, Titikagkai=Ditigagga=Titicaca.

    Religion.

    What is known of Tiwanaku religious beliefs is based on archaeological interpretation and some myths, which may have been passed down to the Incas and the Spanish.

    They seem to have worshipped many gods, perhaps centered on agriculture.

    One of the most important gods was Viracocha[, the god of action, shaper of many worlds, and destroyer of many worlds. He created people, with two servants, on a great piece of rock.

    Then he drew sections on the rock and sent his servants to name the tribes in those areas.

    In Tiwanaku, he created the people out of rockand brought life to them through the earth.

    The Tiwanaku believed that Viracocha created giants to move the massive stones that comprise much of their archaeology, but then grew unhappy with the giants and created a flood to destroy them

    Viracocha is carved into the noted Gateway of the Sun, to overlook his people and lands.

    The Gateway of the Sun is a monolithic structure of regular, non-monumental size.

    Its dimensions suggest that other regularly sized buildings existed at the site. It was found at Kalasasaya, but due to the similarity of other gateways found at Pumapunku, it is thought to have been originally part of a series of doorways there.

    It is recognized for its singular, great frieze. This is thought to represent a main deity figure surrounded by either calendar signs or natural forces for agricultural worship. Along with Viracocha, another statue is in the Gateway of the Sun. This statue is believed to be associated with the weather:

    a celestial high god that personified various elements of natural forces intimately associated the productive potential of altiplano ecology: the sun, wind, rain, hail – in brief, a personification of atmospherics that most directly affect agricultural production in either a positive or negative manner”

    Virochana, in Hindup Puranas, is the grand son of Hiranyakasipu.son of Prahalada, Father of Bali.

    The people of Tiahuanaco worshiped Sun, as in Hinduism

  • Mayan Civilization Shiva’s Ear Rings Vishnu Pada Navagraha

    I have posted article on the Tamils influence on the Incas,that the ancestors of the Incas were from Tami Nadu.

     

    Of the Mesoamerican Cultures, the Incas were spread in the pre-Columbian America, while the Mayans were  in the

    Southern Mexican states of Chiapas, Tabasco, and the Yucatán Peninsulastates of Quintana Roo, Campeche and Yucatán; The Maya area also extended throughout the northern Central American region, including the present-day nations of Guatemala, Belize, western Honduras and extreme northern El Salvador.

    Both these cultures worship the Sun as in Hinduism.

    Bothe built Temples for the deceased.

    Their temple,Pyramid temple architecture  resembles Indian Temple architecture.

    Mayan and Inca calendars bear a striking similarity to Indian Traditional calendar.

    Now more on Maya.

    Lord Shiva wears an Earring.

    One of His distinguishing mark is the  Earring.

    Gnana Sambhandar began his Poetic work, when he was a child, on Shiva, with the first Line ‘ One who wears the earring’

     

    ‘தோடுடைய  செவியன்’

     

    Shiva wears the Serpent as His Earring.

    The design is unique to Him.

    In the Ardhanarewara Form of Shiva,Shiva occupies the Right portion while Devi, the Left.

    On the right portion belonging to Shiva, He wears the serpent, used as a rope for churning out the Ocean od Milk, as His earring.

    On the left, Uma portion wears a Palika Pedndant.Maymatham Chapter 36, verses 82 and 83)

    One may recall that in the Akhilandeswari Temple, Thiruvanaikaval, near Srirangam, Devi wears the Earstud  given by Shankaracharya.

    Akhiladeswari with ear ring,Tiruvanaikaval.

    This thotakam is unique in this Temple.

    This  type of earring of Shiva is worn by women in Tamil Nadu, even today in villages.

    These are called Pampadam.

    This is unique to Indian Culture and is found , apart from Indians, among the Mayans and Easter island.

     

    Now to the Nahua People in Easter island.

    Navagrahas in Mayan civilisation.

    In one intricate Mayan story, two brothers, One Hunahpu and Seven Hunahpu are playing ball, and annoy Death with their noisiness. The Lords of Death challenge them to a game, but first they must pass the six tests of Xibalba – passing through the 6 Houses: Dark House, Razor House, Rattling House, Jaguar House, Fire House, and Bat House (glyphs to the left). Failing any of the tests results in death. They do fail and are sacrificed in the morning – at “The Place of the Ball Game Sacrifice.” One Hunahpu’s head is placed on a tree, which later tree bears fruit, but Xibalbans forbid anyone to eat that fruit. Blood Gatherer, though, does and is banished. Later she has twins – the children of One Hunahpu, named Hunahpu and Xbalenque 6, who later become the Sun and Moon.

    ..

    The Nine Mayan Gods (Bolontiku) are the principle deities having dominion over the area of Central America from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec to the Isthmus of Panama. To the indigenous people of the Mayan area, the Bolontiku have historically fulfilled a cultural role with their power, wisdom, sanction and protection were invoked for all earthly and spiritual transactions – for healing, divination, success in agriculture, trade, politics and war; for help in personal matters such as love, childbearing, grief; for carrying (telepathic) messages over distance; and so on.

    Sophisticated mathematics allowed the Ah Kinob to conceive of a universe regular in its rhythms. In its simplicity, the Mayan number system employed only three characters – a dot symbolizing unity, a bar representing the number five, and an eye-shaped glyph representing zero. Mayan numbers were written vertically and divided into tiers, with the characters in each tier of the column having a value twenty times that of the characters in the tier directly beneath them. Summing the values of the tiers yielded the number represented in the glyph. Dispensing entirely with fractions, the Maya expressed all non-integer quantities in terms of ratios or equivalencies.

    Enoch (/ˈiːnək/; Hebrew: חֲנוֹךְ, Modern H̱anokh, Tiberian Ḥănōḵ; Arabic: إدريس‎ ʼIdrīs) is a figure in Biblical literature. In addition to an appearance in the Book of Genesis of the Hebrew Bible, Enoch is the subject of many Jewish and Christian writings.

    Enoch was the son of Jared (Gen 5:19-21), the father of Methuselah, and the great-grandfather of Noah. Enoch lived 365 years before he was taken by God, which is a small amount of time compared to his offspring Methuselah, who lived to be 969 years old. The text reads that Enoch “walked with God: and he was no more; for God took him” (Gen 5:22–29). This Enoch is not to be confused with Cain’s son Enoch (Gen 4:17). The Christian New Testament has three references to Enoch from the lineage of Seth (Luke 3:37, Hebrews 11:5, Jude 1:14–15).’-Enoch

  • Mount Shastha, California,Thiruvannamalai’s Twin

    The Puranas state that the Americas are the Patala.

    I have a detailed post on this, including geographical evidence.

    Taking this further, what the Puranas state being underneath something in Bharatavarsha, it is reasonable to assume to find such objects in the Americas.

    Mayan Civilization falls under this category and I shall be posting on this in detail.

    Sunrise in Arunachala.jpg
    Sunrise in Arunachala, Thiruvannamalai.

    Now to Mount Shastha In California,

    ““Arunachala is the most sacred holy place of all…….. The Hindu sage Ramana Maharshi said that Arunachala was the top of the spiritual axis of the earth and that there must be another mountain corresponding to it at the opposite side of the globe. I am suggesting that the other mountain is Mt. Shasta. But whether that is true or not, there is no doubt in my mind that Mt. Shasta and Mt. Arunachala are two of the major spiritual power spots of planet Earth“..”-Kenneth Grant,

    “The earlier forms – such as Saste, Shaste, Sasty, Shasty, Chasty, Shasti, Shastika – have given place to the form Shasta…. The origin and meaning of this term are obscure.”

    Referring to the the mid 1850s, Dr. R.B. Dixon says, “After persistent inquiry, the only information secured which throws any light on the matter is to the effect that about forty or fifty years ago there was an old man living in Shasta Valley whose personal name was Shastika (Stisti’ka). He is reported to have been a man of importance; and it is not impossible that the name Shasta came from this Indian (Native American), an old and well-known man…..” Could it then be that the mountain is named after this old, quite possibly learned and wise man. Maybe then he was referred to as Shastri (शास्त्री). In Sanskrit, Shastri means “the wise one or the learned one”.

    Head of the native American Shasta tribe was Sambho.

    The Shasta tribe inhabited the area close to the Klamath River. The Klamath River was known to them by the name ‘Ish-Keesh’ (ईश-कीश). In Sanskrit ‘Ish-Keesh’ (ईश-कीश) translates as ‘Lord Sun’.

    Native Americans also called Mt. Shasta ‘Uytah-Ku’ or ‘White Mountain’, possibly a corruption of ‘Shweta-Naku’ (श्वेता- नाकु) also meaning ‘White Mountain’ in Sanskrit. Another name for Mt. Shasta was ‘waika’, which is also probably a corruption of the Sanskrit ‘shweta’ (श्वेत) meaning ‘white’. In fact, the English word ‘white’ itself derives from the Sanskrit ‘shweta’. Another Sanskrit word also meaning white is ‘shuchi’ (शुचि) and could have been distorted into ‘shasta’ over time.

    “Mount Shasta (Karuk: Úytaahkoo or “White Mountain”)[5][6] is a potentially active volcano located at the southern end of theCascade Range in Siskiyou County, California. At 14,179 feet (4,322 m),[1] it is the second highest peak in the Cascades and thefifth highest in California. Mount Shasta has an estimated volume of 85 cubic miles (350 km3) which makes it the most voluminous stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc”

    ”

    The lore of some of the Klamath Tribes in the area held that Mount Shasta is inhabited by the Spirit of the Above-World, Skell, who descended from heaven to the mountain’s summit at the request of a Klamath chief. Skell fought with Spirit of the Below-World, Llao, who resided at Mount Mazama by throwing hot rocks and lava, probably representing the volcanic eruptions at both mountains.[21]

    Italian settlers arrived in the early 1900s to work in the mills and as stonemasons and established a strong Catholic presence in the area. Many other faiths have been attracted to Mount Shasta over the years—more than any other Cascade volcano.[citation needed] Mount Shasta City and Dunsmuir, California, small towns near Shasta’s western base, are focal points for many of these, which range from aBuddhist monastery (Shasta Abbey, founded by Houn Jiyu-Kennett in 1971) to modern-day Native American rituals. A group of Native Americans from the McCloud River area practice rituals on the mountain.[22]

    Mount Shasta has also been a focus for non-native American legends, centered on a hidden city of advanced beings from the lost continent of Lemuria.[23] The legend grew from an offhand mention of Lemuria in the 1880s, to a description of a hidden Lemurian village in 1925. In 1931, Wisar Spenle Cerve wrote Lemuria: the lost continent of the Pacific, published by the Rosicrucians, about the hidden Lemurians of Mount Shasta that cemented the legend in many readers’ minds”

    Does this Mountain have anything to do with Shastha,Lord Ayyappa?

    I am researching.

  • Homakunda Yama Temple Tanks In Peru

    The Andean civilization has its share of Hinduism.

    Peru has the Trident mark of Lord Shiva, called The Nazca Lines.

    Sugreeva directed his army to search for Sita in Peru and the directions given by him 5000 years ago tally even today.

    There is Archeological site in Peru, Vichama, which has been excavated.

    The Incas were people who migrated from Tamil Nadu.

    Read my post on this.

    It bears a striking similarity to Hinduism.

    Vichama is the Deity of Death and He is the son of Sun and he has a sister.

    In Hinduism Yama , the God of Death is the son of Surya, Sun and has a sister Yami, River Yamuna.

    “The goddess of the river, also known as Yami, is the sister of Yama, god of death, and the daughter of Surya, the Sun god, and his wife Saranyu”

    Scroll down for Video.

    “The sunken circular plaza is often thought to have been an amphitheatre but a closer look reveals features that it may have been a tank, around which holy offerings were made – much like the Indian temple ‘water tanks’ or ‘jala kunda‘ (जल कुण्ड) as they are called in Sanskrit. The prominent circular tank like structure at Caral bears a remarkable resemblance to the temple jala-kundas of India.”
