Vedic influence in Meso America


There is a theory that the patala world mentioned in the Vedic texts refer to ancient America . The Mayan low lands were called Nacaste which could be Naga-asta in Sanskrit meaning Western Naga land. In the Vedic texts the Nagas were snake like beings who could turn into a human being. They were described as Naag-Baal which in the Americas became Nagual. The Naguals were snake-demons of the Americas .  We can see traces of the Vedic civilizations in the civilizations of the Olmecs, Mayas, Aztecs and the Incas.
The Vedic texts considered the Mayas as Asuras. The Asuras are said to follow Sukracharya who is represented by the planet Venus. The Mayan calendar is based on the revolution of planet Venus. The Incas were civilized by Virococha. The name Virococha sounds similar to Virochana. Virochana was an asura king. It is conceivable that Virochana and Virococha are the same person. Virochana is the grandson of Prahlada and was a devotee of Vishnu. Vishnu is worshiped with flowers. Virococha taught the Incas to offer flowers to God in place of animal and human sacrifices. Virococha was known as Quetzalcoatl to the Aztecs and as Kukulcan to the Mayas. The plumed serpent symbol of the Mayans looks like a fusion of Garuda & Sesha; Garuda is an eagle and is the vehicle of Lord Vishnu, Sesha is a cobra and is the bed of Lord Vishnu. The ancient Americans worshiped sun god. It is also interesting to note that the Mayan calendar began with a date around 3112 B.C., very close to the Hindu traditional date for the start of Kali Yuga/Age viz., 3102 B.C
