  • Rudram Prokshana Mantra By Kutsa Indras Look Alike

    There are seven Seers, Rishis in Sananatana Dharma.

    These seven Rishis are called Saptha (seven) Rishis.

    These Rishis are Eternal and they do not die even at the time of the Dissolution of the Universe.

    Thiru Anbil Temple near Tiruchi.

    But the Rishis change for every Yuga(aeon)

    For the present time frame called Kali Yuga, these are the Saptha Rishis.

    Atri,

    Bhrigu,

    Kutsa,

    Vasishta,

    Gautama,

    Kasyapa and Angirasa.

    One of the least known Rishis is Kutsa.

    Kutsa who traces his ancestry to Angirasa is mentioned in all the  four Vedas, a rare honour.

    He authored Sukthas in The Rig Veda but refers it to hos ancestor Angirasa as a mark of respect by callimg it Kutsa Angirasa.

    As an aside it may be mentioned that the Great Acharayas never attribute their works directly to themselves.

    They refer to their ancestors, as in the case of Kutsa or to thier Guru.

    Following the later tradition Adi Shankaracharya attributes every work of his as,

    ‘Ithi Govinda Bhagavad Pada Shisya’

    Kutsa also contributed 65 sukthas to Sri Rudram on the Yajur Veda.

    He was a close friend of Indra, the Chief of Gods( devas)

    He was a mirror image of Indra.

    ‘

    there is mention of a conversation between Sage Vamadeva and Indra which illustrates how Kutsa and Indra were not only intimate friends, but were also ‘look-alikes’ — so much so that at one point, Indrani herself could not tell them apart- Rig Veda 4.6.10

    Kutsai was the son of a Rajarishi named Ruru. Indra helped Ruru by decimating his enemies, and he invited Kutsa to Indraloka to celebrate the victory. Once, Kutsa fell into a deep well, and Indra came running to save his friend- Rig Veda10.40.6.

     

    Rig Veda106.6 there is a suktam consisting of seven mantras. Although Kutsa Rishi discovered this suktam, he named it in conjunction with his guru, Angirasa, as the Kutsa Angeerasa.

    In Panini’s Ashtadhyayi, he is mentioned as an old acharya. He is described as worshipping Agni in different forms, addressing him with different names.

    The Prokshana Mantra

    ‘Om Bhoo, Om Bhuvaha, Om Suvahaâ”

    is by Kutsa.

    Despite Kutsa Rishis strict observances, however, it is said that he once made a mistake in pronouncing a Veda mantram, and for this he was cursed to be a frog in a well. Once his period of atonement had passed, Veda Purusha told him that even while he was a frog, he would remember his previous birth and could be relieved of the curse if he did penance in a pushkarani (holy waters), praying to Soundararaja Perumal at Valmiki kshetram for 48 days. This the Rishi did, the curse was released, and he regained his former body.

     

    The Valmiki kshetram referred to here is Thiru Anbil, which is situated 5 miles east of Lalgudi, in Tiruchy District of Tamil Nadu. It is the birthplace of the great sage, Valmiki, and is one of the 108  divya kshetrams.

  • Thumb Sized Rishis Protect From Radiation Valakilyas

    ‘ वालखिल्या
    Valakhilyas are a group of divine sages, who are small of body, but great in their ascetic powers. Indeed, according to the Mahabharata, they are only as large as a thumb. Unlike the SaptaRishis, their names are not individually spelt out.

    When Kashyapa performed a sacrifice, all deities and sages were asked to contribute.

    Indra brought a whole mountain of trees for firewood, but the Valakhilyas were able to bring only a single twig amongst themselves.

    Lord Vishnu in Indonesia
    Vishnu in Garuda Vahana

    Indra made fun of them, and they cursed that his slayer would be born as the son of Kashyapa.

    The sages were the size of the thumb but were very powerful due to their piety, Brahmacharya and intense penance. Once, Indra and the Valakilyas were on their way to the ashram of Sage Kashyapa to attend a yajna.

    Indra, the king of celestial beings, was haughty and arrogant and this behavior often caused problems to the celestial world. On the way to the ashram, Valakilyas had fallen into water collected in a hoof mark left by a passing animal. Indra, who soon reached the spot, mocked at the tiny sages who were in a puddle and sped away.

    Sage Kashyapa received Indra but was a worried man because Valakilyas had not yet reached. Indra then jokingly narrated what had happened and asked Sage Kashyapa to not to wait for the tiny sages.

    Sage Kashyapa narrated how powerful the Valakilyas were and he also warned Indra that they might be performing a yajna to replace Indra as the king of Devas.

    Soon Indra and Sage Kashyapa reached the spot of the yajna and asked the Valakilyas to desist from it.

    The sages relented and said that the one to come from the yajna would Pakshindra, king of all birds, and that bird was Garuda.

    With the blessing of Valakilyas, Sage Kashyapa became the father of Garuda.

    As Indra made fun of them, they cursed that his slayer would be born as the son of Kashyapa.

    However, when Indra apologized and Brahma intervened on his behalf, they modified the curse that the son shall be initially an enemy of Indra, but later will become his friend.

    Valakhilya hymns, eleven in number, are the appendix of the eighth Mandala of the Rig Veda. But famous commentators like Sayana rejected them as interpolations. The Ramayana and the Mahabharata have a lot of references to the Valakhilya Rishis.

    Valakilyas in Tamil Literature.

     

    Ancient Sangam Tamil literature refers to Valakhilyas in Puranaanuru (verse 43), Tirumurugatrup patai (lines 16-109), post Sangam book Silappadikaram (Vettuvavari 15) and in the poems of middle age poet Arunagirinathar.

    The Rig Veda says that they sprang from the hairs of Prajapati Brahma. They are the guards of the Chariot of the Sun. They are also called the Kharwas. The Vishnu Purana describes them as pious, chaste and resplendent as the rays of the sun.

    Tamil literature is very clear in saying that the main task of the short and smart ascetics is to prevent human beings from being scorched. So they absorb the excess heat from the sun by travelling in front of him. Tamil books also add they were in turn given energy by Lord Skanda and Goddess Durga.

    Even the hunters in the forest pray to Durga for this. Another Tamil poet compares the sacrifice of the Valakhilyas to the sacrifice of the Emperor Sibi who gave his flesh to an eagle to save a pigeon. The famous story of Sibi was referred to in four Sangam Tamil books. Sibi was praised as the forefather of the famous and powerful Tamil Chola dynasty. The food of Valakhilyas is only wind.

  • Uttarayana Festival By The Tamils Vadavazhi Vizha

    Tamil and Sanatana Dharma walked hand in hand together, contrary to the misinformation that the Tamils were inimical to Sanatana Dharma .

    I have recorded facts from History that how Tamils were a part of Sanatana Dharma, with additional contributions from them,Tamil Kings took part in the Marriages/Wars in the North of Vindhya Mountains.

    Tamils celebrated the Lifting of Govardhan Giri by Lord Krishna by alluding to it through the Indra Vizha, The Festival for Indra.

    219465-solstice
    Position of Sun during Uttarayana, Dakshinayana.

    This has been documented in earlier Tamil Sangam Works and in detail in the Silappadikaaram.

    The Vedic Gods, Subrahmanya, Devi, Varuna,Vishnu and Indra were worshiped, assigning each of them to a unique terrain.

    ‘Vaadai Vizha or Vadavazhi Vizha, the festival of welcoming the Lord Surya back to home, as He turns northward, celebrated on December 21/22 (Winter Solstice) (the sixth day of Panmizh[Maargazhi]). It is sung about in Akanauruanthology.

    Uttarayana

    Uttarayana.

    The Surya Siddhanta defines Uttarāyaṇa (उत्तरायण, উত্তরায়ণ, ઉત્તરાયણ), or Uttarayan as the period between the Makara Sankranti(which currently occurs around January 14) and Karka Sankranti (which currently occurs around July 16). The term Uttarayana is derived from two different Sanskrit words “uttara” (North) and “ayana” (movement) thus indicating a semantic of the northward movement of the Sun on the celestial sphere. This movement begins to occur a day after the winter solstice in December which occurs around 22 December and continues for a six-month period through to the summer solstice around June 21 (dates vary ). This difference is because the solstices are continually precessing at a rate of 50 arcseconds / year due to the precession of the equinoxes, i.e. this difference is the difference between the sidereal and tropical zodiacs. The Surya Siddhanta bridges this difference by juxtaposing the four solstitial and equinotial points with four of the twelve boundaries of the rashis.

  • Ahalyas Consensual Relation Indras Thousand Vulvas

    I am intrigued by the Pancha kanya ,deifying five virgins. This list included among others Sita. Tara. Mandodari , Tara.

    Some texts mention seven virgins ,Saptha Kanyas which includes Draupadi.The curious point is none of these women were virgins and excepting Sita had more than one husband, some under pressure and others willingly.

     

    Please read my post on this ,Seven Chaste women of Hinduism.

    Most intriguing is the case of Ahalya who was married to Sage Gautama.

    Ahalya was created by Brahma and was an Ayonisha.

    That is she was not born of a womb.

    After her marriage Indra, Chief of Devas lusted after her and in the guise of her husband Gautama approached her ,seduces her and had relationship with her.

    Gautama coming to know of this curses Indra to have 1000 Vulvas in his body and Ahalya was cursed to become a stone.

    On her en treaties, Gautama tells her that she would regain her form once Lord Rama’s feet touch her.

    And she she sholud offer oblations to Lord Rama.Balakanda of Ramyana by Valmiki states that Ahalya willingly gave herself up because she wasand flattered that thevKing of Devas was infatuated with her.And she was very proud of her beauty.

    Essence is that she and Indra had consensual relationship.

    But Uttara Ramayana differs slighly about how Ahalya was created by Brahma.

    Later Brahnanas and folklore resorted to misinformation stating that Ahalya was an unwilling partner.

    This difference is enough for foreigner scholars(?) to inject further sexual inundoe.

    They have taken thecword Ahalya to mean ‘unploughed’

    And Indra plouughed her.

    What a crude and vulgar attempt.

    The word Ahalya neans pure as a virgin land.

    And , allegorically speaking, Indra , being the God of thunder maked infertile lands fertile.

  • Delhi,Indraprastha Built by Builder From Atlantis

    Maya is the Architect of the Devas, Beings of a Higher Plane from the Humans.

    They are called Devas, Indra being their Head.

    Early Atlanteans spread.jpg Early Atlanteans spread.

    Indian Philosophy, Religion and History are so intermingled that at times it is difficult for the reader to determine one from another.

    One has to be cautious while evaluating them.

    One such concept is the Devas.

    Devas indicate a state of evolution of  man where he ‘ she reaches higher in terms of perception and abilities.

    It also indicates beings of a different plane of Existence.

    It means a group of people on the earth as well.

    Confirming the later there is the Amravathi city of Indra, the Chief of the Devas in Russia.

    There is also the Rig Veda Mandala City as well.

    Indra Amravathi Baikal

    Baikal Vaikanasa Theertha

    Krishna’s son Pradhyumna built a city in Russia.

    Siberians worship Ayur Devathas.

    These are Dhanavas, excepting Pradhyumna who was a human being.(Dhanavas, Beings of a Higher Plane and living in area which was considered sacred)

    The Rig Veda was composed in the Arctic,Shiva leading it, Vasishta , along with the other Rishis.

    And the Mayas and Incas trace their origin to the Tamils.

    Ravana was an Asura,meaning valorous.

    The Asuras lived, in general, The Pathala Loka.

    There is also the Nazca Lines of Peru resembling Shiva’s Trishul.

    I had written about Shiva leaving the south and traveling through the western hemisphere,Europe, Americas before finally reaching the Arctic.

    And Atlantis was there in the path.

    ‘Maya is a generic name for the people of sakadweepa.or Atlantis.In other words ,Maya,the yavanasilpi or architect of olden times was also a Magha Brahmin and who knew solar and lunar calendars and vaasthuvidya.

    He was the one who built Indraprastha during Yudhishtira’s time and another of his race with the same generic name was the father of Mandodari .(Ravana’s wife).

    He was an original inhabitant of sakadweepa(Atlantis)and he had come to live in present Rajasthan during Ravana’s time.

    The word Asura and Azorus ,Atlantis and Atlantic ocean and Athalam of the scriptures are from the same root .

    According to Sounakahora ,Maya was a astronomer of excellence and he taught astronomy to the great Rajarshi Viswamithra.

    The original abode of Maya according to Indian scriptures is Romakapura in Athalam.

    (The Romakapura spoken by the Mahgha Brahmin Varahamihira ,is this Romakapuram of Atlantis and not Rome.)

    Romakasidhantha of Maya,the yavanaguru came from Atlantis and not Rome as the historians of Astronomy think.

    The knowledge came to India in very very ancient times .

    When Viswamithra accepted the southern stars as polestar there was a great debate between his disciples and disciples of Vasishta who followed the northern star clusters.’

    Modern Delhi ,( portion of it) was called Indraprastha .

    It was built by Maya.

    Maya was from Sakadweepa.

    Saka Dweepa was Atlantis.

    More on Atlantis to follow.

    Earth as Seven Islands.

    King Priyavratha had seven sons each with names synonymous with Agni or fire God.The purana considers the world as 7 dweepa or islands belonging to these 7 Agni or fire,who were brothers.
    Jambudweepa Agneendran
    Plakshadweepa Idmadwajan
    Salmali dweepa Yagnabahu
    Kusadweepa Hiranyarethas
    Krounchadweepa Grithaprishtan
    Sakadweepam Methathithi
    Pushkaradweepam Veethihothran

    Jambu Asia Eurasia
    Plaksham South America South America
    Salmali Australia Australia
    Kusa oceania oceania
    Krouncha Africa Africa
    Saka Europe Atlantis
    Pushkaram North America North America
    According to Blavatsky the Plaksha ,kusa ,salmali and Krouncha had been under the sea for a long time and surfaced again and Sakam which is at present submerged is the legendary lost Atlantis.

    A part of sakadweep called the swethadweepa or white island(Shet land)is the present Greenland and parts of Siberia.

    Bhavishyapurana says that swethadweepa lies beyond the salty sea and Magha Brahmins of this land had once built a sun temple for Sambha,the son o f Krishna and Jambavathy .(Varahamihira was adescendent of Magha Brahmins).

    Jambavathy,the daughter of Jambavan,the oldest root race of inhabitants of the world(partly human and partly Riksha-the bear-ape man)was a south Indian wife of Krishna and belonged to the oldest Adivasi of the continent.

    Thus ,the relation of Atlantean race and Indian race is mentioned in scriptures.
