Ancient Vishnu idol found in Russian town



An ancient Vishnu idol has been found during excavation in an old village in Russia's Volga region, raising questions about the prevalent view on the origin of ancient Russia.

The idol found in Staraya (old) Maina village dates back to VII-X century AD. Staraya Maina village in Ulyanovsk region was a highly populated city 1700 years ago, much older than Kiev, so far believed to be the mother of all Russian cities.
"We may consider it incredible, but we have ground to assert that Middle-Volga region was the original land of Ancient Rus. This is a hypothesis, but a hypothesis, which requires thorough research," Reader of Ulyanovsk State University's archaeology department Dr Alexander Kozhevin told state-run television Vesti .

Dr Kozhevin, who has been conducting excavation in Staraya Maina for last seven years, said that every single square metre of the surroundings of the ancient town situated on the banks of Samara, a tributary of Volga, is studded with antiques.

Prior to unearthing of the Vishnu idol, Dr Kozhevin has already found ancient coins, pendants, rings and fragments of weapons.

He believes that today's Staraya Maina, a town of eight thousand, was ten times more populated in the ancient times. It is from here that people started moving to the Don and Dneiper rivers around the time ancient Russy built the city of Kiev, now the capital of Ukraine.

An international conference is being organised later this year to study the legacy of the ancient village, which can radically change the history of ancient Russia.

Celestial Weapons( Ancient WEAPON)

Celestial weapons
I think the celestial weapons of those days can be scientifically seen as modern day weapons:
1. Brahma Astra: Nuclear Fission Bomb (For causing widespread destruction)
2. Pashupata Astra: Nuclear Fusion Bomb (Once started i could not be stopped)
3. Narayana Astra: Neutron Bomb ( Could be directed at a single target)
As we know, the Indians at that time had tremendous scientific knowledge.
Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh were the equivalent of Positive, Neutral and Negative Energy... as we see today as being manifest in the smallest building block i.e. Atom.
It contains positive energy in the form of Protons.
Neutral energy in the form of Neutrons.
Negative energy in the form of Electrons.
In this way, as we say, the trinity is present in the very building block of this universe.

Derived names from Vedas

In Ramayana, When Sugreeva sends his army in four directions in search of Seeta, he mentions seven islands to the army going to east direction.

The names of these islands (dveepas) are:
yava-dwipa > became Java (ya changed to ja),
rupyaka-dwipa,
suvarna-dwipa > Sumatra ??
and some more.

If you look closely at the names of cities in Indonesia, Malesia, Thailand etc... they all seem to be crude distortion of some Sanskrit names...

e.g. Java, Sumatra, Bali (Vaali ??), Combodia (Kambhoj ?), Pattaya, Surabaya, Singapore ( Simha-pur सिंहपुर ? Do you remember the lion-like statue shown in Singapore tourist ads ?)


one more Example
we call yesu (yesus)
in scandinevia they call him jesu
in english it became jesus

if origins r same then this similarities
r quite obvious(major concern is why they dont accept it )


this moslems r also not diffrent
turk word came from sanskrit turushka
we used to call jews yahudi
then 1ce again diffrent tribe of moslem
we used to call them yawan(in time of great shivaji maharaj)

alexander==>greek
Aleksandr==> in russia
alakshendra==> in sanskrit

norse mythology is like xerox of ours
number of similarities between odin
& indra

in egypt

Ramasis==> Ram-ashish
they r from sun race ==> surya wanshj
but western archeologist neva find it
rather they try to prove how it is diffrent

Puranic Time Measurements"Explained"

The Puranas describe a number of time cycles within cycles. Discussions of these cycles can become confusing because different cycles are measured in different types of units. For example, the cycles are often described in units of deva years
( years in the higher planets ), each of which equals 360 human years.

The following description starts with the smaller cycles and works up to the larger ones. The length of each cycle is given in ordinary human (earth) years, as well other units where appropriate. Large numbers are described using the conventions of American English: thus, a million is a thousand thousand, a billion is a thousand million, a trillion is a thousand billion.
