I have written quite a few articles on the spread of Sanatana Dharma/Hinduism in Russia.
Lake Baikal is Vaikanasa Theertha,
Rig Vedic Mandala City in Russia,
Russia is sthree varsha,
Amrvathi, the capital of Indra, the chief of Devas was in Russia,
Yagnyavalkya lived in Russia,
Lord Krishna’s son, Pradhyumna founded a city Port Baijin, Russis,
The Vedas were called Santi Veda,…..
River Moksha is found in Russia…..
Narada Mountain called as Narodnya Mountain is found in the Urals,
There is evidence galore.
I had also written on a Vishnu idol being found in Russia.
Now there is more evidence on this idol of Lord Vishnu.
Narahari, Avatar of Vishnu Idol in Russia
The idol is from a temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu Hari, a Form of Lord Vishnu.
Russian archaeologists agree to the spread of Sanatana Dharma in Russia but are divided on the issue whether the Sanatna Dharma had spread from India to Russia or it is the other way around.
I will be writing on this issue in detail
‘Moscow, January 4: An ancient Vishnu idol has been found during excavation in an old village in Russia’s Volga region, raising questions about the prevalent view on the origin of ancient Russia.
The idol found in Staraya (old) Maina village dates back to VII-X century AD. Staraya Maina village in Ulyanovsk region was a highly populated city 1700 years ago, much older than Kiev, so far believed to be the mother of all Russian cities.
Kashmiri king, Lalithaadhitya Muthapeeda of Karkoda lineage (AD 724 to AD 760)conquered Sthree Rajya and established there a temple for Narahari (Vishnu). This information can be found inRaja Tarangini of Kalhana. After winning Sthree Rajya he went to Uttar Kuru. This king did not yield to the lure of the beauty of the women of SthreeRajya and hence earned a name “Indriyakraaman”.
His grand son, Jayapeeda also had gone to Sthree Rajya and established his rule.
What is of interest to us is the discovery of a statue of Vishnu in Staraya Maina (in Samara)
….
This statue was dated at 8th century AD, the same period when Lalithadhitya Mukthapeeda established a Vishnu temple in Sthree Rajya. From this it can be known that today’s Straya Maina was the Sthree Rajya of olden days.’
I have written extensively about the Sanatana Dharma Russian connection.
‘I have written on Baikal being of Indian origin and Arkaim being the land of Sanatana Dhrma, not to speak of the fact that the Rig Veda was composed in the Arctic…
Vishnu Idol in Russia.
The huge circle in the above diagram shows the extent of“Sudharshana Dweepa” where the rule of Sanatan Dharma was in place.
It had Bharath in the South (rectangle area in the bottom of this picture) with
Hemakuta or Himalayas in its northern limits,
an intermediary Ilavarsha to the north of Himalayas (noted in dark red square in the middle) and
a vast Airavatha varsha in extreme north of the Sudharshana dweepa..
Most of Russia come Airavatha Varsha and Airavatha is the name of Indra’s Elephant.
The Deva territory is close to the North pole where there was sunlight continuously for 6 months and darkness continuously for 6 months. The elephant, Airavatha in all probability was the Woolly mammoth ,which became extinct about 10,000 years ago. ..
Part of Uttarakuru Region.
Uttar kuru means the land of Kuru (a clan) settled in the North. They were the early settlers much before Mahabharatha times (which was about 5000 years ago.) The men and women of that territory were said to have led a free life and mingled with each other as they wished. The probable reason could have been procreation which was minimal owing to climatic conditions that existed there.
There is an opinion that the name Russia was derived from Rishi varsha. There is a mention of Rishi varsha in scriptures which goes well with this region. The presence of Devas in this part of the globe in a distant past had attracted sages to this place. We have a number of references in Puranas of sages going to the Deva territory. Perhaps their overwhelming presence gave the name Rishi varsha which later became Russia.’
Krishna’ son Pradhyumna founded a city in Russia.Por Baijn, Siberia.
Lake Baikal was called the Vaikanasa Theertha.It was also called Amravathi , Ilavarsha.
Russia was also called Sthree Varsha, where women ruled.
The Rig Veda was composed in the Arctic.
Siberians invoke Ayur Devathas.
There is also a thought that Sanatana dharma was flourishng in the Volga Region.
I shall be writing on this in detail.
In the meanwhile it is reported that a Vishnu Idol was found in Russia.
An ancient Vishnu idol has been found during excavation in an old village in Russia’s Volga region, raising questions about the prevalent view on the origin of ancient Russia.
The idol found in Staraya (old) Maina village dates back to VII-X century AD. Staraya Maina village in Ulyanovsk region was a highly populated city 1700 years ago, much older than Kiev, so far believed to be the mother of all Russian cities.
“We may consider it incredible, but we have ground to assert that Middle-Volga region was the original land of Ancient Rus. This is a hypothesis, but a hypothesis, which requires thorough research,” Reader of Ulyanovsk State University’s archaeology department Dr Alexander Kozhevin told state-run television Vesti .
Dr Kozhevin, who has been conducting excavation in Staraya Maina for last seven years, said that every single square metre of the surroundings of the ancient town situated on the banks of Samara, a tributary of Volga, is studded with antiques.
Prior to unearthing of the Vishnu idol, Dr Kozhevin has already found ancient coins, pendants, rings and fragments of weapons.
He believes that today’s Staraya Maina, a town of eight thousand, was ten times more populated in the ancient times. It is from here that people started moving to the Don and Dneiper rivers around the time ancient Russy built the city of Kiev, now the capital of Ukraine.
An international conference is being organised later this year to study the legacy of the ancient village, which can radically change the history of ancient Russia.
“The report says that the area in which the idol was found is called Staraya Maina. In the Rig Veda, there is a passage that goes, Itham ascati pasyat syantham, ekam starayath mainaa-kaalam. This translates into Staraya Maina is the name of the land of the 45 rivers (on whose banks the noble Rishis conducted the famous Horse Sacrifices), where the sun-god descends into one fifty-two forty-seven. While the first line identifies a site, the second line talks about the exact latitude and longitude at which the solar spectrum produces interference lines at one, fifty-two, and forty-seven. The extreme precision of the calculations show the advanced science of the Vedic period, and a thorough knowledge of SI units (it has been conclusively proven that French scientists stole the system from the Indians.
The discovery of the idol confirms the site in Russia, identified in the Rig Veda as rus soviath sapthamahanagaratham (the ancient and holy land of the 722 flying vehicles). The ancient connections between the Russians and the Indians has been unequivocally confirmed. In Russian orthodox Christianity, worship is conducted very much like in Vishnu temples. The Russians refer to the feast of Vizhnyir Ekoratsya Vikhunh, directly corresponding with Vaikhunda Ekhadasi.
The Russian language also owes a lot to Sanskrit, whose origins 50,000 years ago roughly correspond with the language of the people of the Smritzyi archaeological site, along the banks of the now-dried up Vernstokhlin (Varnasatyakhalini) river system.
