THE VEDAS LINKS THE EAST AND WEST

I live outside of Tucson, Arizona,
U.S.A. I have seen many rock picture writings in Arizona and some of them
appear to be very unusual symbols that may have their writing origins in
other lands. The symbol below at Palatki ruins is an amazing example of what
looks like a Sanskrit “OM”. I think that ancient ocean going peoples from
India were completely capable of sailing to the North American
continent. I wonder what their purpose was here in North America and I find
the subject extremely interesting. Palatki has
many strange mystical symbols painted on the rocks over the centuries by
visitors and inhabitants of the area. Certain Native American tribes still
use the location for spiritual ceremonies. Did an ancient travelers from
India visit Palatki and meet with native inhabitants, experiencing the sacred
nature of this special location, becoming so enthralled that they left this
potent and powerful eastern spiritual symbol in red iron oxide pigment as a
remembrance to the future, or a gift of spiritual awareness to the site in
pictographic form? I have also been
studying ancient myths and words used by the Pima people (native peoples) of
Central and southern Arizona. I have read old Ethnology reports and many of
the Pima words and myths seem to “crossover” with ancient words and myths
from India. When I see the rock art symbols that Mr. T.L. Subash Chandira
Bose has researched, I am amazed at the similarity of his photographed
symbols to symbols I have seen here in Arizona, U.S.A., North America! I
especially have seen the many concentric circle themes and spirals here in
Arizona. Few months ago, I joined in the expedition and research team founded
by P. Srinivasan adviser to “Pazankasu” with his team members Sthapati.
V.Raman and T.L. Subash Chandira Bose, to begins our research work on our
findings and shall come up with more amazing discoveries in near future. |

This symbol “OM”
found at Palatki Ruins, south of Sedona, Arizona, U.S.A. (North America). The
site where this was discovered is a cliff with an overhang and there are
ruins of a later date. The red ochre/blood rock writing has been dated to the
time period of 3,000 – 6,000 years ago. This must have been a very sacred
site. |
The following added text is by Jayendra Upadhye: “The letter if at all Sanskrit is actually the
Sanskrit "AUM" pronounced as "Om". But the triple
syllable has been turned anticlockwise by 90 degrees. Sanskrit om or aum
symbol in your jpg, [The photo in this article] the "half moon
and dot in the top part of the "Om" have become straight lines. but
the hooked features are still visible, though turned 90 deg clockwise.” I had
reached the same conclusion that the person using the "om" was either
illiterate or had been a descendant of a person introduced to Sanskrit long
before he was born. There is a possibility that the "om" was
painted by a man who thought of it as a pictogram, and thus thought nothing
of turning it around by 90 deg in any direction. Secondly if om is painted on
a hide amulet and worn on the biceps (as was practice in India.. not
regarding om but of tying amulets on the biceps), then the reader would see
the on turned sideways, and may be over time associate a sideways written
trisyllable as the "real" om. These were my thoughts after seeing
the painting.” The seed or root Mantra, the first
sound of cosmic creation with pure vibration, the shabda –brahama in which
the supreme himself can be found. This pure sound vibration if manifested as
the “OM” mantra. “OM, AUM, UM, HUM, AMAN and AMEN” (all one and the same,
varies due to pronunciation) is combination of three letters A, U, and M. |

A Symbol found in Ica stone-Peru
Similar like a host of titans called Mandehas attempt to gobble up Surya.
(Thanks to Madam. Kathy Doore.) The Purascharyarnava (taranga -10) There is a legend that at the period between night (ushas) and day (vyushti) known as sandhya, a host of titans called Mandehas attempt to gobble up Surya. They have a boon as a result of which they will they continue with their re-invigorated bodies although they die every day. Thus, each day of the year Surya has to battle with these titans. When the pious people on the earth offer arghya for Surya with the gayatri –hymn in the sandhya –ritual, the water thus offered will be transformed into the invincible Vajrayudha, which will help Surya burn up the titans. (Reference: “Navagraha-Kosha” Volume One- S.K. Ramachandra Rao) |
In Dhyana sloka of Surya.Surya, with four heads; This form of Surya is distinguished by having four faces, with three eyes in each face, and eight arms holding in the hands magical weapon called khatvanga, two lotuses, discus, noose, goad, rosary and skull cup. He is seated with his consort. He is golden- complexioned, and finely decorated with jewels and necklaces of diamonds. (Reference: “Navagraha-Kosha” Volume One- S.K. Ramachandra Rao) |

“A Stone
amulet: Mr. Jaun Moricz, Argentine citizen by naturalization, born in
Hungary, discovered objects of great cultural and historical value to mankind
in the Province of Morona- Santiago, within the boundaries of the Republic of
Ecuador” “The Gold of The Gods” Page, 11. Thanks to Mr. Erich Von Daniken. Yajurveda – Book Twentyeight: “From his mind came Moon, and from
his eyes came Sun, from his ears were born Vayu and Prana, and from his mouth
was Agni born.” “Mid –air was born from his navel, the sky was fashioned
fourth from his head, earth from his feet, and quarters from his ears. Thus
the world was formed.” Rigveda-Book Tenth: The moon was born from his mind, the sun was born from his eyes, Indira and Agni were born from his mouth, and the wind from his breathe. From his navel came forth the air, the heaven was formed from his head, the earth from his feet, and the four directions from his ears. Thus were formed the world. |
The links between the above ancient stone figure found in Peru, Ecuador with ancient Vedas and many ancient manuscripts of India is an eye opening to the world to realize that the people of our earth are interconnected and we are all of one human family. It is our hope that these discoveries of ancient symbols, places, ruins, and language similarities of ancient times between India and the north American continent, will continue to bring us all together in peace and we will see the wonderful connectedness of us all along with the cultural diversity that makes us all unique. We will continue to search out and bring public, as yet undiscovered sites that will push forward this goal. Please visit the
