FUENTE; Rayvi Kumar JEWELS OF BHARATAM ....SERIES[TM] Q. DID ANCIENT HINDUS KNEW ABOUT LATIN AMERICA ? A. ANCIENT HINDUS WERE INFLUENCERS / ANCESTORS OF MAYANS !!! The Maya believed in the existence of a trinity with knowledge of the three universes composed of the Jaguar (material), the Serpent (mind) and the Bird (spirit). According to them, there were thirteen layers of heaven and nine underworlds, each with its presiding god, while the ancient Hindu texts talked about thirteen Lokas (worlds) above the earth and seven Lokas below the earth. In Hindu philosophy, the existence of the universe is governed by the Trimurti (also called as the Hindu Trinity) of Brahma (the Creator), Vishnu (the Sustainer) and Shiva (the Destroyer). The parallels between the Hindu Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva Trinity and the Mexican Ho-Huitzilopochtli-Tláloc Trinity are very impressive too. Like the Hindu culture, the Maya had a pantheon of gods, many of which have similarities to the Hindu deities. Friar Diego de Landa, a Franciscan monk who burned all Maya manuscripts (containing priceless information on ancient history, mythology, medicine, astronomy, science, religion, and philosophy) and idols in Yucatán, in his book – Relación de las cosas de Yucatán wrote: “They had a very great number of idols and temples which were magnificent in their own fashion and besides the community temples, the lords, priests and leading men also had oratories and idols in their houses where they made their prayers and offerings in private.” The Maya made idols of not only gods but also of animals and insects. They also believed in immortality of the soul and afterlife. All this sounds very similar to Hindu worship and beliefs. Like the Maya, the Hindus too have numerous gods which are considered as the manifestations of the principal gods. They also worship animals, rocks, trees and rivers which are considered holy and sacred. Finally, just like the Islamic and Portuguese conquerors built mosques and churches over vandalized and destroyed Hindu temples in India, the Spanish constructed churches over destroyed Maya temples in Mexico. The Maya word “Kultunlilni” refers to the divine power and has obvious similarities to the Sanskrit word Kundalini which also refers to the life energy and the power of consciousness. The Sanskrit term yoga can be found again in the Maya word “yok’hah” which means higher truth from the combination of yok’ (above, higher) and hah (truth).
