This is Parinirvana Stupa: the burial site of Gautama Buddha located in Kushinagar. 150 years ago some spelled it Kouçinagara.

I don't speak Sanskrit yet, somehow, I'm able to shoot from the hip and hit bullseye in my "guesses". What do I mean?

Well, in Kouçinagara I see both Naga and Ra. Naga means serpent. Ra has an extremely long history of attribution with light and the sun, not just in Egypt either.

Enlightenment is activation of all the chakras which put forth a subtle magnetic light visible to those with magnetoreceptive vision. Activation of chakras involves raising the Kundalini serpent which is the subject of the name Naga which, again, means serpent in Sanskrit. Since Gautama Buddha was enlightened, it would make sense for the words Naga and Ra, to be present in the name of this location.

So, with those thoughts in mind, I took a stab and looked up the word Kouçi/Kushi.

It's a word in Sanskrit. Again, I don't speak this language yet somehow I can break down the words. Kouçi/Kushi can mean "ploughshare" (blade of a plough) or "cotton seed pod".

Well, ploughs cleave, split, and separate soil from itself, so if the remains of Gautama Buddha "separate the soil from itself" in that location, it makes sense that the site's name essentially translates to:

"ploughshare serpent light".

Why Ra? And I also don't know a lick of Sanskrit, but I've seen that "-nagar" suffix on other names. Vijayanagar, for example.

Srinagar too.

Because Ra is associated with the sun/light going all the way back to Mu, not just Egypt.

The Nagas were a colony of Mu. The people of Mu called themselves the Naacal. Emigrants from Mu who settled colonies were called Maya.

This is why we have maya as a religious concept in the east where the Nagas, Hindus, and Buddhists live and we have Nagualism and Nahuatl in the west where the Mayans live.

They are original branches of the motherland tree.

I think I've seen or read you saying Mu was somewhere in the Indian ocean, but could have also been Indonesia before the sea level rose and cut Australia off from Asia? A lot of land disappeared.

That’s a rough approximation of Mu’s coastline superimposed upon a map with modern shorelines to anchor ourselves. Obviously the shorelines elsewhere would have been different from what they are today and this is an educated guess by, I believe, James Churchward.

Seems... Ambitious. The ocean there is very deep. To have that and it sink would require not only a sea level rise, but so very big and sudden tectonic shifts - which may be possible, idk. Maybe that pole shift could do it. But for comparison, the mountain that becomes Hawaii's Big Island is taller than Mr. Everest

Well, maybe only ambitious in the north and west parts 🤔

Given that the “Pacific ring of fire” is a thing and it’s all trenched suggests displacement of tectonic plates away from the Pacific plate.

If the pole flip hypothesis is valid and something triggers induced fluidity in the asthenosphere, during such events, the asthenosphere would conceivably yield very easily to persistent or even fleeting forces.

Churchward’s research suggests that Mu was very flat. Also lot of water weight from the oceans inundating the lands during the pole flip could contribute heavily (pardon the pun) to pushing the land mass down into the asthenosphere.

The other factor at play here is that Mu apparently existed 53,000 years ago and based on Ben Davidson’s research, geomagnetic excursions occur every 6000 years or so, meaning there have been a number of cataclysms between the first one and today that have further shuffled the deck so to speak.

Very interesting... Anything is possible on this very mercurial/protean planet of ours... And seeing the stone carvings of the dude with 6 or seven snakes on either side of his head, found in both central america and India, is quite persuasive that something was going on.

I think Vijaya is a name so Vijayanagara may be like "Individual name" + "Honorific title of nagara" designating enlightenment.

Looked it up and it says that “-nagara” means city in Sanskrit.

While that is true, I am looking beyond that and I am asking myself why does a word composed of words that mean “serpent” and “source of light” gain a meaning of “city”.

I look at the names of our cities and I see nouns named after other nouns, i.e. places named after people and things.

So then I ask myself what types of people would we be prone to name places after? Washington? Saint Louis? Phoenix? Columbus? Melbourne? Lafayette? Austin? Augusta? Lincoln? Sydney? Madison? Darwin? Bismarck? Alexandria? Adelaide? New York? Kyiv? Numerous places named after Saints?

We name places after people and often times those people were well known because they were spiritually advanced. It makes sense to me that “cities” aka nagaras would be named after spiritually advanced people who were born there, lived there, or died there.

Since posting this, I took another stab and looked up what "nagara" means in Sanskrit. It means "city" or "town".

Proves me wrong, right?😉

What do we name cities and towns after?

Usually its named after a thing or a person.

A good example of a place named after a thing would be "Little Rock, Arkansas".

We need not look very far to find examples of places named after people. I'll let you do that, and frankly, I'm confident that you can come up with a handful of cities named after people without resorting to search engines or AI. The list of places named after people would make this word wall a lot longer than it already is.

So what kind of people might get cities or towns named after them?

Founders? Absolutely.

The illustrious? No doubt.

While founders would likely be associated with the cities/towns they founded, what types of cities/towns would be associated with the illustrious?

The place where they were born and grew up?

The place where they primarily lived?

The place where they achieved their most significant accomplishments?

The place where they lived out their final years and died?

Sure, why not?

What if, before the word "nagara" became synonymous with "city/town", it was an honorific designating kundalini awakening and enlightenment, i.e. Naga (kundalini serpent) and Ra (source of light)?

What if the standard was to name places after enlightened beings who were born, lived, achieved, or died there...

but...

eventually...on a long enough timeline,

people's awareness of the meaning of these terms faded

at which point someone noticed how so many cities had the same suffix

and decided that the suffix of "-nagara" must mean "city/town".

I can't prove this, but it's not implausible either. Words make some funny leaps...I mean, you still "dial" phone numbers and "turn" things on right? ;)

Ever read 'Jesus lived in India'?

No, but I have been working through my "Jesus travelled" sources, pulling quotes, fleshing out my presentation notes more thoroughly.

So far, I've drawn from:

Chan Thomas - The Adam and Eve Story...(JC spoke Naga/Mayan)

James Churchward - Sacred Symbols of Mu (JC spoke Naga/Mayan)

Don Antonio Batres Jaurequi - History of Central America (JC spoke Mayan)

Dolores Cannon - Jesus and the Essenes (JC travelled everywhere, including before and after Bar Mitzvah coming of age)

George Jowett - The Drama of the Lost Disciples (JC travelled to UK likely with Joseph of Arimathea who was a tin (and other metals) magnate & India at some point)

Nicolas Notovitch (JC travelled from 13-29 to India, Nepal, Tibet, Persia)

Swami Abhedananda (JC travelled from 13-29 to India, Nepal, Tibet, Persia)

Nicolas Roerich (JC travelled from 13-29 to India, Nepal, Tibet, Persia)

Paramahansa Yogananda (still need to dig into this)

and the Law of One (JC travelled from 13-25)

I haven't bought it yet as it is out of stock on Amazon at the moment, but Arthur Lillie wrote something called India in Primitive Christianity that looks pertinent.

I'll have to look up the title you shared as it's not on my radar and likely deserves to be.

🙏

Thats an exhaustive list, thank you for sharing. Link to the book:
