  • Patala Loka Americas Entrance in Patalkot Madhya Pradesh

    I have written a few articles, quoting Hindu Purana, Archaeology,Astronomical Dating,Comparative Study of Cultures ,Etymology of Languages that the Americas are the Patala Loka, Nether World described in the Hindu Texts is the Americas.The ancestors of the ancient Americans were Hindus/Tamils.

    The Ramayana describes the travel of Indrajit,son of Ravana, to Patala Loka to conduct a Yagnya to ensure success in the battle against Rama and Lakshmana.

    This Patala Loka was inhabited by  Mahi Ravana,also called Ahiravana, brother of Ravana.

    Ahiravan (Ahiravan or Mahiravan), brother of Ravana, was a rakshasa who secretly carried away Rama and his brother Lakshmana to the nether-world, consulted his friends and decided to sacrifice the life of the two divine brothers at the altar of his chosen deity, goddess Mahamaya. But Hanuman saved their life by killing Ahiravan and his army.

    (Krittivasi Ramayan)

    In the Ramayana, during the battle between Rama and Ravana, when Ravana’s son Indrajit is killed, Ravana calls his brother Ahiravana for help. Ahiravana, the king of Patala (the Underworld), promises to help. Vibhishanasomehow manages to hear about the plot and warns Rama about it. Hanuman is put on guard and told not to let anyone into the room where Rama and Lakshmana are. Ahiravana makes many attempts at entering the room but all of them are thwarted by Hanuman. Finally, Ahiravana takes the form of Vibhishana and Hanuman lets him enter. Ahiravana quickly enters and takes the “sleeping Rama and Lakshmana” away.

    When Hanuman realizes what has happened, he goes to Vibhishana. Vibhishana says, “Alas! They have been abducted by Ahiravana. If Hanuman does not rescue them fairly quickly, Ahiravana will sacrifice both Rama and Lakshman to Chandi.” Hanuman goes to Patala, the door to which is guarded by a creature, who is half Vanara and half reptile. Hanuman asks who he is and the creature says, “I am Makardhwaja, your son!” Hanuman is confused since he did not have any child, being an adept Brahmachari. The creature explains, “While you were jumping over the ocean, a drop of your semen(veeriya) fell to the ocean and into the mouth of a mighty crocodile. This is the origin of my birth.”

    One has to go 70000 yojanas deeper in earth to reach to reach there.
    Mexico and Brazil are exactly below India and one has to dig a hole(tunnel) of that distance to travel vertically.

    Patalkot Valley.image.jpg
    Patalkot Valley.

    Now the entrance  used by Indrajith and Hanuman is in Patalkot (Sanskrit for “very deep”) is a valley in the Chhindwara district of Madhya Pradesh, India.

     

    The Patalkot valley is spread over an area of 79 km2. at an average height of 2750–3250 feet above Mean Sea Level from 22.24 to 22.29 ° North and 78.43 to 78.50 ° East. The valley is located at a distance of 78 km from Chhindwara in the North-West direction and 20 km from Tamia in the North-East Direction. ‘Doodhi’ river flows in the picturesque valley. This horse–shoe shaped valley is surrounded by giant hills and there are several pathways to reach the villages located inside the valley.

    There is a belief that after worshipping ‘Lord Shiva’, Prince ‘Meghnath’ had gone to Patal-lok through this place only. People say that Kings ruled this place in the 18th and 19th Centuries and that there was a long tunnel connecting this place to Pachmarhi in Hoshangabad District. Traditionally, the site is believed to be the entrance to Patal. This valley had long been cut off from the civilized culture outside and was discovered only few years back. Patalkot has been a home to a tribal culture and custom since its origin.

  • Hanuman’s Son Makardhwaja ! Worshiped in Honduras

    Lord Hanuman is considered as Sreshta Brahmachari while Bhishma, Naishtika Brahmachari.

    Sresta means noble, the Best.

    Naishtika Brahmachari is one whose Semen does not fall down towards the Earth,

    I shall be posting a detailed article on this.

    Hanuman is called a Brahmachari, A Celibate and a Jitendriya, one who has conquered the senses.

    How come he is reported to have a son?

    Hanuman, The Monkey God in Honduras or Mkaratdwaja, His Son? Honduras

    Hanuman, after  burning Sri Lanka(having his tail having been set afire by Ravana), tok a dip in the Ocean, to cool of His body, a drop of His perspiration dropped from His Tail.

    This fell into the mouth of a Fish,and it delivered a child.

    The child was named Makaradwaja.

    The term Makara appears many a times in the Puranas.

    The word Matsya is also used to indicate Fish.as in Vishnu’s Matsya Avatara.

    As Sanskrit does not use the same word for the same object,  I am inclined to think that Makara and Matsya belong to a group of the Fish Family, akin to Dolphin and Shark.

    Makaradwaja became the Guardian of the Patala Loka of Mahiravana.

    As I have written earlier the Patala is the Americas.

    Makaraddwaja is worshiped in La Ciudad Blanca as a Monkey God,

    Please read my post on this.

    ‘

    La Ciudad Blanca (pronounced: [la sjuˈðað ˈblaŋka], Spanish for “The White City“) is a legendary settlement said to be located in the Mosquitia region of eastern Honduras. This extensive area of virgin rainforest has been the object of study for many people. Archaeologists refer to it as the Isthmo-Colombian Area of the Americas. Due to the many variants of the story in the region, most professional archaeologists doubt it refers to any one actual city of the Pre-Columbian era.(wiki)

    In 1940, Heye hired American adventurer and future spy[.Theodore Morde to perform a third expedition. The goal of the expedition was to further study the local indigenous people, explore archaeological sites, chart the upper reaches of the Wampú River, and search for a rumored “lost city.”

    After four months, Morde and his colleague Laurence C. Brown reported having made a great find, which included ancient razor blades. “‘City of the Monkey God’ is believed located: Expedition reports success in Honduras expedition” read the headline of the New York Times. According to the letter Morde sent home, the “city” was located in “an almost inaccessible area between the Paulaya andPlátano Rivers.” Morde and Brown described their find as the capital of an agricultural civilization of the Chorotega people.

    When he returned to the states, Morde described traveling miles through swamps, up rivers, and over mountains before coming across ruins that he interpreted as the remains of a walled city. In an article for The American Weekly, a Sunday magazine tabloid edited by fantasy fiction author A. Merritt,he claimed to have evidence of large, ruined buildings. He said that his Paya guides told him that there once was a temple with a large staircase leading to a statue of a “Monkey God.” Morde speculated that the deity was an American parallel to the Hindu deity Hanuman, who he says “was the equivalent of America’s own Paul Bunyan in his amazing feats of strength and daring.” According to Morde, he was told that the temple had a “long, staired approach” lined with stone effigies of monkeys. “The heart of the Temple was a high stone dais on which was the statue of the Monkey God himself. Before it was a place of sacrifice.”

  • Lost Legendary Honduras City Of Gold Found

    The lost  legendary city of gold in Honduras has been found .

    This goes to prove that Legends are not figments of imagination and that we can not dismiss anything as a Myth as we can not prove it for we might be looking at the appropriate place.

    Our stubborn refusal to believe anything which we can not establish ourselves .

    We forget that our vision, capabilities are imperfect.

    There could have been better people and higher civilizations in the past.

    Please remember that the Mind will not conceive anything that is not true and can be perceived.

    The other sense organs and technology may be in short.

    Story:

    New images of a possible lost city hidden by Honduran rain forests show what might be the building foundations and mounds of Ciudad Blanca, a never-confirmed legendary metropolis.

    Archaeologists and filmmakers Steven Elkins and Bill Benenson announced last year that they had discovered possible ruins in Honduras’ Mosquitia region using lidar, or light detection and ranging. Essentially, slow-flying planes send constant laser pulses toward the ground as they pass over the rain forest, imaging the topography below the thick forest canopy.

    As Preston writes:

    Archaeology is on the cusp of a technological transformation. For more than a century, conducting work in the rain forest has been a sweaty, laborious business. When a potential site is identified, and before excavation can begin, it must be surveyed. Traditionally, this has required a team of researchers and assistants to comb and partially clear the forest, and then to mark, measure, and map every fixed, man-made feature, down to the smallest carved stone, while being tormented by mosquitoes, black flies, heat, and the persistent hazard of venomous snakes. Unlike a desert site, which can be mapped in weeks or days, a survey in the jungle can take years, even decades, and can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many small features are overlooked, and even the most prominent structures can be surprisingly difficult to see. Years ago, at an unexcavated Maya site in the Yucatan, I stood barely 20 feet from the base of a large pyramid so heavily obscured by foliage that I couldn’t make it out.

    Lidar has been used by geologists, urban planners, and civil engineers since the 1980s, but only recently has ti improved enough to be applied in fine grained archaeological mapping. Some archaeologists have employed other remote-sensing methods to survey sites, but in areas of dense forest those technologies yield Rorschach-like images that even experts cannot decipher. Now, with lidar, thousands of acres of dense jungle can be finely mapped in a few hours, with greater accuracy than the most painstaking ground survey can provide.

    But even with such advanced technological capacity, it was entirely possible that Ciudad Blanca wasn’t out there to be found at all, a myth that grew out of the jungle’s mystery. “Every ten years or so, somebody finds it,” archaeologist Chris Begley wearily tells Preston. Was the LIDAR machine just another false hope? Michael Sartori, a mapping scientist at the National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM), told Preston, “Steve Elkins is a film guy.” He continued, “Many times, I told my co-workers that this was a bad idea, that this is not the kind of project we should be doing. It just seemed like a crazy shot in the dark.”

    Copán is an archaeological site of the Maya civilization located in the Copán Department of western Honduras, not far from the border withGuatemala. It was the capital city of a major Classic period kingdom from the 5th to 9th centuries AD. The city was located in the extreme southeast of the Mesoamerican cultural region, on the frontier with the Isthmo-Colombian cultural region, and was almost surrounded by non-Maya peoples.[2] In this fertile valley now lies a city of about 3000, a small airport, and a winding road.[3]

    Copán was occupied for more than two thousand years, from the Early Preclassic period right through to the Postclassic. The city developed a distinctive sculptural style within the tradition of the lowland Maya, perhaps to emphasize the Maya ethnicity of the city’s rulers.[2]

    The city has a historical record that spans the greater part of the Classic period and has been reconstructed in detail by archaeologists and epigraphers.[2] Copán was a powerful city ruling a vast kingdom within the southern Maya area.[4] The city suffered a major political disaster in AD 738 when Uaxaclajuun Ub’aah K’awiil, one of the greatest kings in Copán’s dynastic history, was captured and executed by his former vassal, the king of Quiriguá.[5] This unexpected defeat resulted in a 17-year hiatus at the city, during which time Copán may have been subject to Quiriguá in a reversal of fortunes.[6]

    A significant portion of the eastern side of the acropolis has been eroded away by the Copán River, although the river has since been diverted in order to protect the site from further damage.[2](wiki)
