  • Twenty World Spiritual Sites Same Latitude Seven Hinduism

    As I have stated in the ‘About’ page of this blog, I started blogging because I wanted to share what interests me and what little I know.

    Sites connected same Latitude.

     

    As days went by,it  turned into one of focusing on Hinduism, Sanatana Dharma detailing the fundamentals of the oldest Religion.

    How sites in the same Latitude vare connected.

     

    Again this became into one of concentrating more on Vedas, explanation of hidden meanings of these texts.

    On individual Gods, Devi Upasna got the prime of place.

    Golden Triangle.

    Now it is becoming more research oriented on the spread of Sanatana Dharma throughout the world and the validation of Sanatana Dharma and Tamil texts.

    Under this category most of them are proven while some of them exploratory as the one ‘ Shiva Man God or Reality’

    What is special about Sanatana Dharma is that it does not shackle you when you interpret or verify it.

    And it encourages you to question it.

    And ,in Sanatana Dharma nothing is what it seems to be.

    My conviction is that the Indian texts are records of knowledge and Wisdom unearthed by great men whose intention was to enlighten the world .

    And Sanatana Dharma is open to All.

    But this depends on one’s passion and the technology available .

    Unfortunately, the present technology we have at our disposal is inadequate to explain most of what is found in these texts.

    And many relics archaeological finds in the world defy one’s understanding.

    I have explained in my blog such of those that can be explained,like the Fibonacci sequence in the poem on Lord Krishna or the value of Pi in a poem, advanced concepts of Modern Science including Quantum Mechanics in Hinduism.

    Also some curious world facts archaeological finds which can not be explained by others are verifiable with Hindu Texts.

    I have a few readers who update the actual finding from US and Canada and I interpret them with Indian texts.

    One such is the fact that twenty sites in the world lie in the same Latitude and the distance between them represent the Golden Means/ Fibonacci number.

    ‘

    The Giza Pyramids, The Nazca Lines (large petro glyphs in the vast deserts of southern Peru), Angkor Wat (the magnificent temple complex in Cambodia), and Easter Island are all related. You can draw a straight line connecting each site across the circumference of the earth. This precision is followed within one tenth of a degree of latitude.

    From Easter Island a 25,000 mile line (the exact length of the equator of the earth) can be drawn which connects to: Paracas, Nazca, Ollayantambo, Machu Picchu, Cuzco, Sacsayhuaman, Paratoari, Mali (where the Dogon tribe of the Sirius Mystery originates), Tassili N’Ajjer, Siwa Oasis, Giza, Petra, Ur, Persepolis, Mohenjo Daro, Khajuraho, Pyay, Sukhothai, Angkor Wat, and Preah Visear. This 25,000 mile line also happens to be at a 30 degree angle to the equator. Each of these sites are significant as spiritual centers, capitals, or sites where megalithic structures were built.

    Of these twenty sites Easter Island,Machu Pichu , Nazca,Ankgorvat, PETRA,Mohenjo Daro, Khajuraho,Angkor Wat have Sanatana Dharma connections.

    I have written on  Easter Island, Machu Pichu, Petra having  Shiva Temple.

    The rest , Khajuraho, Mohenjo Daro Angkor vat are in India and I have written extensively on them.

    Add to this the theory that Chidambaram , India being the Magnetic Centre of the Earth, three Shiva Temples  representing thecthree natural principles,in Tamil Nadu,Nataraja’s dancing pose is the exact reproduction of a Super nove Explosioin the distant past,there is some message in the sites I have mentioned.

    My future articles shall examine them.

    Now one more information on these 20 sites.

     

    ‘Mohenjo Daro, the lost city of the ancient Indus valley, is the site of a possible ancient atomic blast. Radioactive readings have been found there on par with that of the atomic site of Nagasaki in Japan. Some 44 skeletons were found here, flattened to the ground, still holding hands in some cases, as if incinerated in a moment’s notice. From the epicenter everything was crystalized and vitrified in correlation with what may have been an ancient atomic weapon. We can only explain this by vindicating accounts like those of the ancient Vedic texts such as the Mahabharata. And perhaps we are seeing substantial scientific evidence of the spiritual here at this site. The implications of each of these points is history redefining. Mohenjo Daro is also the origin of a still un-deciphered language which is remarkably similar to the language found on the Rongo-rongo boards from Easter Island, literally half the world away. 

    Let’s look deeper at the connecting line between the main ancient sites of Giza, Nazca, Angkor Wat and Easter Island. Mohenjo Daro is located halfway between the Giza Pyramids and Angkor Wat. Mohenjo Daro is also located exactly opposite Easter Island on this same latitudinal line

    . The hummingbird petroglyph of Nazca Peru is located directly opposite of Angkor Wat, Cambodia. You can draw a line from one to the other directly through the center of the earth and it would be off by a mere few tenths of a degree. This is incredible!’

     

    These sites not only happen to be in a significant line, but in a significant ratio through which the encoded can be revealed. The ratio of the distances between these sites is equivalent to Pi which is shown in the brilliant work of Jim Alison. Alison found that the distance from Prassat Vihear of Angkor Wat, to the Pyramid of Giza is 4,754 miles (first 5 #’s of Fibonacci sequence #359 is 47542). From the Great pyramid, to the hummingbird of the Nazca lines of Peru, the distance is 7,692 miles (first 5 #’s of Fibonacci sequence #360 is 76924). From Nazca across the long side of the earth back to Angkor Wat the distance is 12,446 miles (first 5 #’s of Fibonacci sequence #361 is 12446)!!! This is not the only instance of this important ratio, or by any means the only connection like this. This axiom is found in thousands of sites, and still being uncovered in many more to this day.

    What does this mean? First of all, these numbers indicate completely disconnected cultures somehow just so happened to place their structures on the same latitudinal line, and in a distance apart from each other which reflects Pi. Pi is so accurately reflected that it is maintained up to the first 500 numbers of the Fibonacci sequence.

    What is the relevance of Pi? Pi (3.14159265359…) is a magical number whose decimals never end and never repeat. The Golden Number relates to harmonics, it is a proportion found everywhere in nature, and defines organic growth (2/3-1/3 or 1-1.6180399… and so on.) The golden spiral (the Fibonacci sequence) describes another perpetual sequence. (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144 etc.)’

    I shall be posting more on this.

  • Petra Jordan Ancient Shiva Temple?

    Petra , an ancient city , which belonged to the Greeks earlier,excavated in Jordan is considered as one of the wonders of the world.

    This city had the imprint of Constantine as well.

    ‘In a recently conducted Internet poll, Petra was voted by internet users as one of the ‘seven wonders of the modern world’. In this abandoned city, which lies hidden behind impenetrable mountains and gorges, magnificent rock-cut temples and palaces have been carved into towering cliffs of red and orange sandstone. The most famous of these structures is the ‘Al Khasneh’ (or the ‘Treasury’), which was made famous in an Indiana Jones film.

    Sometime during the 3rd century BC, the Nabataeans began to decorate their capital city with splendid rock-cut temples and buildings. [Right: The Khasneh or “Treasury”] Their economic prosperity and architectural achievements continued unabated even after they came under the control of the Roman Empire in 106 CE. The neglect and decline of Petra started soon after Emperor Constantine declared Christianity as the official religion of the Roman Empire in 324 CE. A series of earthquakes crippled the region in the 7th – 8th centuries and Petra disappeared from the map of the known world, only to be rediscovered centuries later in 1812, by a Swiss explorer named Johann Burckhardt…

    Deity Petra
    A baetyl physically marked a deity’s presence. It could be a square [Above, left] or rounded like a dome [Above, right]. Some baetyls’ were depicted with a lunar crescent on the top. The Nabataeans also appear to be snake worshippers. One of the most prominent structures in Petra is the snake monument, which shows a gigantic coiled-up snake on a block of stone. [Below]
    Within the temple of Al Deir, the largest and most imposing rock-cut temple in Petra, is present an unworked, black, block of stone, like an obelisk, representing the most important deity of the Nabataeans — Dushara.

    The term Dushara means ‘Lord of the Shara’, which refers to the Shara mountains to the north of Petra. The symbolic animal of Dushara was a bull. All over Petra, Dushara was represented symbolically by stone blocks.

    At the entrance of Petra there are three massive standing blocks of stone, known as Djin blocks, which were sacred to the inhabitants. There are nearly 40 such Djin blocks present throughout Petra. In addition, at religious sites throughout the city, the Nabataeans carved a standing stone block called a baetyl, literally meaning ‘house of god’…

    This unusual array of symbolic elements associated with the chief god of the Nabataeans, Dushara, may have confounded historians, but to anyone familiar with the symbolism of the Vedic deity Shiva, the similarities between Dushara and Shiva will be palpable.

    Shiva is still worshipped all over India in the form of a black block of stone known as a Shiva Linga. A Shiva Linga, which is essentially a ‘mark’ or ‘symbol’ of Shiva, sometimes appears as an unworked block of stone, much like the idol of Dushara in the temple of Al Deir; but typically it is represented by a smooth, rounded stone which resembles some of the rounded, dome-shaped, baetyls that we find in Petra.

    Temple Petra

    Shiva is also associated with the mountains; his residence is supposed to be in the Kailash Mountain in the Himalayas, to the north of India, where he spends most of his time engaged in rigorous asceticism. His symbolic animal is a bull, named Nandi, which is commonly depicted kneeling in front of the Shiva Linga. Pictorial depictions of Shiva always show a crescent-shaped moon in his matted locks, much like the lunar crescent that appears on top of certain baetyls in Petra; and on top of the Shiva Linga is present a coiled-up serpent, bearing a strong resemblance to the serpent monument of Petra. It is evident that Shiva and Dushara are symbolically identical, leaving little scope for doubt that Dushara must indeed be a representation of the Vedic deity Shiva.

    At Petra, an elaborate processional way leads from the center of the city to the temple of Al Deir. In front of the temple there is a massive, flat, courtyard, capable of accommodating thousands of people. This has led historians to suggest that the Al Deir temple may have been the site of large-scale ceremonies. It is possible that this was a celebration of Dussehra, since Al-Uzza was the ‘goddess of the people’ and Dussehra is the celebration of the victory of the goddess over the forces of evil.

    It is not unlikely that the presiding god of the Nabataeans, Dushara, may have obtained his name from the festival Dussehra. The cult of Shiva-Shakti represented the sacred masculine and feminine principles, and the worship of Shiva has always been inextricably linked with the celebrations of the divine feminine. Even now in rural Bengal in India, the final day of celebration of Dussehra (Basanti Puja) is followed by an exuberant worship of Shiva. For these people, it remains the most important festival of their annual religious calendar.

    It is unclear to historians whether all the representations of the female goddess found in Petra refer to Al-Uzza or to the Nabataean goddess triad of Al-Uzza, Al-lat and Manat. Although it is has been supposed that the consort of Dushara may be Al-Uzza, the depictions of Al-Uzza in other places of Arabia do not support such an association.

    Al-Uzza (the ‘Strong One’) was the goddess of the morning and evening star. Isaac of Antioch referred to her as Kaukabta, ‘the Star’. She was sometimes depicted riding a ‘dolphin’ and showing the way to sea-farers. She is, thus, the counterpart of the Indo-European goddess of dawn, Ostara, and the Vedic ‘Usas’.

    In the Rig Veda, there are around 20 hymns dedicated to the Usas, the goddess of dawn, who appears in the east every morning, resplendent in her golden light, riding a chariot drawn by glorious horses, dispelling the darkness, awakening men to action, and bestowing her bounty and riches on all and sundry.
