The following
description of the world's first truly civilized race from
India, the Nagas, was taken from the Encyclopedia Brittanica:
Sanskrit NAGA ("serpent"), in Hindu and Buddhist
mythology, a member of a class of semidivine beings, half
human and half serpentine. They are considered to be a strong,
handsome race who can assume either human or wholly serpentine
form. They are regarded as being potentially dangerous but
in some ways are superior to humans. They live in an underground
kingdom called Naga-loka, or Patala-loka, which is filled
with resplendent palaces, beautifully ornamented with precious
gems. Brahma is said to have relegated the nagas to the
nether regions when they became too populous on earth and
to have commanded them to bite only the truly evil or those
destined to die prematurely. They are also associated with
waters--rivers, lakes, seas, and wells--and are generally
regarded as guardians of treasure…
The above description of the Nagas stated that because they
had become too populous in India, they were sent to other
parts of the world, especially to Patala. These Nagas were
the ones who built the beautiful floating gardens in Kashmir.
The Kashmiris produced the world's first great civilization,
even antedating the Sumerians. They brought their expertise
to America. Originally, the Asuras or Nagas were not only
a civilized people, but a maritime power, and in the Mahabharata,
where the ocean is described as their habitation, an ancient
legend is preserved of how Kadru, the mother of serpents,
compelled Garuda (the Eagle or Hawk) to serve her sons by
transporting them across the sea to a beautiful country
in a distant land, which was inhabited by Nagas, The Asuras
(Nagas) were expert navigators, possessed of very considerable
naval resources, and had founded colonies upon distant coasts."
(The Encircled Serpent, by M. Oldfield, p. 47.)
Proof That Quetzalcoatl Was From India:
1. Tal/Tala = "Top; Surface." Atal/Atala
= "Under the Surface." Therefore, if America is
"The Underworld," India must be "The Upperworld."
2. Talan is the Sanskrit word for "People of the Surface."
Atalan, logically, must be "People of the Underworld."
I must conclude that the Nahuatl-speaking peoples' primordial
fatherland was Talan, which they called Tollan/Tlan; i.e.
Northern India.
3. The Vimanas or modes of transport of Quetzalcoatl, Kukulcan,
Guculmatz and the Indian Vishnu were an eagle and a raft
of snakes.
4. Quetzalcoatl was said to have returned to a place called
Tlapallan. Tal/Tala = "The Upperworld" or India.
Pallan may refer to "People of Pala" or what is
now the Indian state of Bihar. This is the province from
where, after the Great Flood, the Pelasgo or Palacthon,
considered the greatest builders and movers of giant stones
in human history, left India for other parts of the world.
Pallan may also be a derivation of Bolan, which lies in
Beluchistan, a province of what is now Afghanistan. Talan,
or "People of Tal," once lay a short distance
to the northwest of Bolan. They were inhabitants of Talan-Des/Talan-Tes
("Land of the Talan'). Naturally, the opposite land,
which was in Mexico, would have been known in India as Atalandes/Atalantes.
5. A region in which Quetzalcoatl once traveled was Xicalanco.
(pronounced "Shee-kah-LAHN-ko"). Although the
Nahuatl meaning is "Place of Water Jars," this
word could have derived from the Sanskrit Shikar (Tiger
Hunter) plus Lanka (Ancient Ceylon). The Nahua-speaking
people could not pronounce "R." They would have
been forced to pronounce Shikar-Lanka as "Shika-lanka."
Ceylon was once famous for the fabrication of excellent
pottery. Quetzalcoatl was often depicted as a jaguar; not
only as a plumed serpent. The ancient Lankans were supposed
to be descendants of male lions and female humans.
6. Nahu-sha/Nahu-shka, a Naga and one of several Hindu equivalents
of our Noah, went on a civilizing mission to various nations
of the world after the Great Flood. Since this word is so
nearly identical to the name of the Nahuatl-speaking tribes
of Ibero-America, I am tempted to infer that they regarded
Nahusha as their "Primordial Father."
7. Even the word Quetzalcoatl (Plumed Serpent) announces
its Indian origins from the housetops. The Quetzal is a
beautifully feathered Meso-American bird. The feathers are
so beautiful and resplendent that ancient Meso-American
leaders used them as scepters or symbols of their authority.
In Nahuatl, Quetzalli means "rich feather; beautiful;
fine."

Being a symbol of
kingly authority, the word is probably derived from the
Sanskrit Ksiliza (King; Great Lord). Kashitl/Caxitl was
the Nahuatl word for "scepter; kingly authority,"
more than similar to Kshitriya. Hu/Khu was a North Indian
or Phoenician word for "Serpent." Of course, Atal
= "Under the surface." Or, the ancient North Indian
equivalent of Coatl, the Nahuatl word for snake, could have
been Khu-Tala (Serpent Shiva). Even today, the snake is
a symbol of Shiva.
The North Indian word for serpent, Khu, spread throughout
both Americas. In Arizona, the O'odham name for "rattlesnake"
is Koh or Ko'owi. The Zuñi term is Ko-lowi'zi. The
most common term for "rattlesnake" throughout
Northern Mexico and Arizona is Co-rua. The Mayans call it
Kuh; Gu among the Incas. Two other O'odham words for "snake"
hail from North India, also: Nah-Big, which in Northern
India is Nag-Beg. Another North Indian word for "snake,"
Veh-Mar, barely changed in the O'odham language: Vah-Mat.
English and Spanish have amost choked O'odham out of existence,
but there are still enough Sanskrit derived words in the
language, leading me to believe that had the Europeans never
conquered the Americas, early immigrants from India would
have had no trouble communicating with them.
Grierson's Dictionary of the Kashmiri Language defines Kta
as "the name of deadly black-coloured poison said to
have been drunk by the Hindu god Siva at the famous churning
of the ocean." Another word derived from Kta, Kotil,
means "deadly." Kotil could have evolved to Coatl
(Snake) after the Naga or Phoenician Indian mariners and
colonizers left the Americas.
8. An ancient Sanskrit word for "Buddha" is Put.
A "Put" or "Buddha" is a god, demi-god,
or saint who is reborn in human form, in order to continue
the moral purification of mankind. In the state of reincarnation,
a Put in human form becomes a Putara (Messiah). The Nahua-speaking
peoples also called Quetzalcoatl by the exact name: Ishi-Putala/Ptla.
(The Nahuas could not pronounce "R.") The above
Nahuatl expression translates as "Skin of a God."
Nearly all the Amerindian peoples worshiped Ish (Shiva)
by his various names, almost exactly as in India. Even Shiva
is another name of the Buddha.
These Sanskrit, Kashmiri and Nahuatl words are too nearly
exact, both in meaning and in pronunciation, to be "coincidences."
I dare anyone to find such similarities in languages other
than Sanskrit, Persian, Kashmiri, and Nahuatl.
I have in my files literally hundreds of solid proofs. I
am firmly convinced that the ancient Indians first landed
and settled in Mesoamerica or Patala/Atala, establishing
their city and harbor in what is now San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán,
Veracruz. While the Indians themselves called the Atalanteans
Atalandesa, the Greeks and Egyptians did no less. They said
that on the other side of the Atlantic ocean there was once
a great nation called Atlantis. Isn't it strange that the
Indians knew that Patalandesha or Atalandesha was on the
eastern side of the Pacific, and the Greeks finished sandwiching
it on the Atlantic side, naming it "Atlantis?"
And again, why did the Mexican Indians claim to be from
Tollan? The legends of many of the tribes, such as the Hopis,
O'odhams, Zuñis, Huicholes, Aztecs, and others even
name the specific regions of India from which they originated!
Some tribes, like the Yaquis, remember their benefactors
by the same names they had back in India: Yatowvi (Yadavi)
and Yuri (Yuddhi). The Zunis call them Judaba.
What I have just told you in this article equally applies
to the Europeans. There is a fact nobody can deny: Ancient
India once controlled the world. Like it or not; want it
or not, we are all India-Indians!But India could not hold
on to her overseas colonies forever. Brahmin exclusivity,
Buddhist isolationism, and Islam's conquest of India shrank
the Asvin Brothers out of existence. When India left the
Americas, most of the other tribes reverted back to savagery
and worse because primitive peoples need up to thousands
of years to get a firm foothold on the plane of civilization.
When the English and Spanish conquerors arrived in the New
World, most of the tribes had gone back to eating one another
again.
I hope that this tiny Tattva-sized piece of evidence is
enough to spark in the Indians a great pride in their contributions
to world civilization and culture. And they're still doing
it. Here in the United States, they are our medical doctors,
scientists, computer experts, motel owners, shopkeepers,
and other professionals. Their children are our winners
of school spelling bees. I'm sure that there are more of
them among us now than the Britishers who also influenced
India in their way. And India is losing her children to
us now for the same reasons she did in the past: religious
upheavals, social inequalities, and natural disasters!
