LATIN AMERICA WAS HINDU LAND BEFORE

Nowadays, it is generally known that Columbus was not the first to
discover America. In the course of centuries, almost every seafaring
culture set out to the American continents. In the last few years,
direct traces have been discovered which lead from India directly into
the heart of the Maya Culture of Central America.

In the scriptures of South India, countries located south of India and
their relation to the Vedic culture were mentioned. Following these
traces, the renowned Vedic architect Dr. V. Ganapati Sthapati
travelled to Peru in spring of 1995. His ancestors had built the big
Shiva temple in Tanjore approximately a thousand years ago, and he
himself continues to build temples all over the world according to the
same principles of Vedic architecture. Merely studying old Sanskrit
and Tamil scriptures on architecture caused him to assume that there
had to be a connection between South America and India.

Not only is its plot based exactly on the same geometric matrix, the
Vasatipurusha Mandala, but also its form is identical with the South
Indian Vimana (temple domes) even in details. Furthermore, there are
amazing similarities as to measurements.

Dr. Sthapati discovered that the South-Indian measure/rule (Kishku
yardstick approx. 33 inch) was used mainly in the Peruvian region of
Kushku. Residential buildings were also built strictly according to
the principles of Vasati , as developed by Maya Danava. Its plots,
position of doors and windows, proportions, form of roofs, inclination
angles of roofs, diameter of columns, width of walls etc. are
perfectly in accordance with the rules of Vasati , which are still
applied in 60% of all houses built in India nowadays.

Considering so many similarities, it is hard to believe in accident as
an explanation. In addition, also the techniques applied by the Maya
to erect their buildings and to hammer their huge stones for temples
and pyramids are identical to those still taught and applied by Dr.
Sthapati today. They have been described by Maya Danava in his books
on Vasati.

Did Maya Danava really travel from South India to Peru, or did he
originally come from South America to become a famous architect in
India later? This question can only be answered if we take into
account the mystical personality of Maya Danava.

According to historical records of the Vedic culture, Maya Danava's
influence on man was prevailing for 8000 years. But at the same time,
he is described as a being from another planetary system who is
equipped with all sorts of mystic powers and with an astronomic life
span. Had the same Maya Danava first worked as an architect in South
India and published Vedic texts in order to contribute later to the
development of the Maya Culture in Central America, which shows a
number of similarities with the Vedic India also in fields different
from architecture?

It is also very interesting to have a closer look at a linguistic
comparison. Even today there are a number of words in the Maya
language which indicate a relation to the Vedic culture. The Maya word
K'ultanlini refers to the divine power and has obvious similarities to
the Sanskrit word Kundalini which also refers to the life power and
the power of consciousness.

The Sanskrit term yoga can be found again in the Maya word Yok'hah,
which means at the top of truth. For our considerations, it is most
interesting to investigate the connection between the Maya word
Chilambalam which is the name for the temple room of the caste-pyramid
Chichen Itza. This pyramid has the same plot as a South Indian temple
vimana. Both are based on a grid consisting of 8 x 8 squares.

In Vasati such a square grid is called Manduka Mandala, the frog
mandala. The centre is formed by a square made of four squares, which
corresponds to the Brahmasthana, the place of Brahma. At this location
the divine energy is so strong that it is not suitable for people to
live there.

Both in the Vasati temples and in the Maya pyramids the most sacred
place of the whole structure is located exactly in this square. The
Mayas call this area Chilambalam, which means sacred room. This room
is cubic and corresponds to the original form of room itself in
Vasati.

Adhering to this principle, there is a Shiva-temple in South India in
which the sacred room or the room of consciousness is being worshiped.
This temple with immaculate proportions is called Chidambaram and
ranks amongst the most famous Vasati temples of South India next to
Shri Rangam. The same concept of the sacred room or hall of
consciousness was called Chilambalam by the Mayas. Another perplexing
parallel.
