Did
Agastya drink ocean?
Agastya was one of the greatest travellers of ancient India.
He was mentioned in Rig Veda and the Ramayana. He slowly moved
southward and established an ashram at the western ghats-Pothya
malai. There are lot of myths about him. All this can be explained
scientifically. He did divert the river Cauvery to the present
Chola mandala like Bagiratha. But in thousands of years it became
a myth and we read a crow tilted the kamandalam of Agastya and
thus came Cauvery.
Another story told about Agastya is that he travelled to south
at the behest of Lord Siva. It is true that either Siva or a
Saivaite saint requested him to go to the south to disperse
the population. The story of Siva’s(Menakshi) Tirulkalyanam
makes it clear by saying the overcrowding of the earth tilted
the balance and Siva requested Agastya to go south. Our fore
fathers were such a great planners that they did what we are
doing today-building satellite cities! This story is in Tiruvilayadal
puranam and other books.
Did Agastya drink the ocean? Agastya was the first person to
cross the Indian ocean for the first time to establish a great
Hindu civilisation in South East Asia. We now knew that there
was a flourishing Hindu colony in Laos,Vietnam,Cambodia (Angor
vat temple) Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia (Borobudur Stupi)
for 1300 years. Now they are all converted as Muslims. Like
Columbus and Magellan, he crossed the ocean- that is he ‘drank’
the ocean! It is a symbolic story. Agastya’s statues are displayed
through out South East Asian monuments even today.
One another myth about Agastya is that he made the Vindhya Hill
not to grow again. This is another symbolic story to say that
he crossed the Vindhyas for the first time through the ‘land
route’. Before him North and South Indians used coastal sea
routes. Tamil literature also makes it very clear in several
places that Agastya came to the south with 18 groups of people
and he was the one who codified a grammar for Tamil.
Jarasandhan-Siamese Twins?
Jarasandhan was born to two mothers and he came as two balls
of flesh. The left and right sides (child) were thrown into
a dustbin by the queens in disgust and fear and a rakshasi (wild
woman) by name Jara picked it up and gave it to the king after
joining both the parts .The fact is one woman gave birth to
a Siamese twins (two children joined together physically) and
threw it in to the bin. Somebody did some surgery successfully
and gave the child in good condition back to the king.
I have counted and listed more than 20 abnormal children in
the Mahabjharata. Several of them are stories of cloning. Mandhata
was born out of his ‘father’ says the epic. Another story says
that Vaidharbi gave birth to a squash fruit and it was divided
into several parts and kept in urns. They became sons. The stories
of Shisupala, Sikandi and Sthunakarna talk about organ changes.
Vashista and Agastya were born in ‘pots’(Kumba Muni or Kumba
Yoni). If we remove all the myths about all these miracle children
we see clear medical treatment or operations!
Miracle or Solar eclipse?
On the fourteenth day of the 18 day Mahabharata war, Arjuna
vowed that he would kill Jayadrathan before sunset or commit
suicide. Unfortunately Arjuna couldn ‘t kill him. But the story
is that Krishna created false sunset using his Sudarsana charka.
If we look closely at this event it is nothing but a solar eclipse.
The sun light faded for some time because of the eclipse. When
all prepared for the withdrawal of the army for the day, the
sun came out and Arjuna killed the unguarded Jayathrathan. In
those days they didn’t fight after sunset.
What I have given here is only very little. If we take the fields
of Medicine, Mathematics, Psychology ,The power of mind/brain,
Extra Sensory perception etc. we may write volume after volume.
But I wish someone analyses all such events and publish their
findings well before the western scientists reveal them. No
one will appreciate if we keep on comparing every new invention
with the writings in our old literature.
