Kalabhiras Part III – Shivan, Mayon ,Vethan (Shiva , Vishnu, Brahma)

Kalabhiras Part III – Shivan, Mayon ,Vethan (Shiva , Vishnu, Brahma)
The two clans are explained and the third one is left unexplained. In sidhar tradition shiva is the first siddhar. In hindu tradition shiva is the protector and destroyer, Vishnu is the comforter and brahma is the creator. These three gods and supportive gods are considered as the major faith in Hinduism. Shiva and Vishnu have temple and why there is no temple for brahma? In the process of journey from atlantis, brahma was the lost one. What happened to these clans, and who reached the Promised Land? The supportive sources for this analysis will be shiva raksha stotram, the story of anthakasuran, and the birth of kaali.
The Last Phase of Atlantis:
As plato mentioned about atlantis, the continent was made/ arranged in a circle form. Tamil literature/sangam literature speaks about five types of land (kurinji, mullai, maruhtnm , neithal and paalai). Have we ever thought about paalai land(desert) in tamil nadu? This was my childhood doubt. We have other four types of land such as sea and sea land, forest and forest land, mountain and mountain land, farmand farm land. Every land have their own gods, people, suffix and food . for the paalai land (desert) kottravai (kaali) was the god ! we don’t worship kaali and tamilnadu don’t have kaali temples , then how this classification came into our literature?. The answer is the last years of atlantis.
Shiva lived in the snowy mountain, Vishnu lived in ocean and brahma lived in the lake ambience. To support this, when the search for atlantis was happened, near to the coastal settlement in spain there was a unique round shape stone was found, in that stone one warrior stood with spear in his hand, surprisingly this stone was found at the last layer of the village settlement which reflects the atlantis style of arrangement. Hence it is clear the shiva’s clan lived in mountains and other external part of the settlement for the reason of protection to the settlement. The other two were, inside the settlement. In the last of phase atlantis the shivas land started to get dry (paalai)! The snowy mountains started to melt, there was a tsunami and loss of land occurs. That’s how paalai (desert) region comes in.
Vethan : The Brahma
After the environmental chaos, desertification of atlantis took place, the process of rescuing was fully done by lord shiva , this could be understood from shiva raksha stotram which says, this sort of protection of shiva was revealed by Vishnu to yagnavalkya. Because in kaliyugam Vishnu goes into deep sleep in under water. So mainly the conflict remains between intellect and heart. When the process of rescuing and guidng was done by shiva, the Vishnu clan followed him where as the vethan clan was lost in transmigration. This could be understood from the moral degration of vethan clan. They started to breach the norms and values that are established by their kingdom to maintain righteousness. Shiva cursed brahma and disqualified him from having temples on the plot of brahma attempted to have a forceful intercourse with his daughter on amavasya thithi. (My grandfather told we are not supposed to do any good thing on amavasya thithi) smilalry when the attempt was made with parvathy ,brahma lost one of his head. The story of brahma’s moral breaches goes on like this. Interestingly in the vethans clan there were two groups , the short and the tall one. The short brothers followed us and reached to the Promised Land, whereas the tall ones stayed there itself. The short ones are agastiya muni, vasista muni and so on….contrasting to the Brahman clan these munis and rishis contributed a lot on refining moral values and thoughts in society , Thiruvalluvar claims from this clan. A short Brahman came from meivazhi sects (who have haircuts) and he is not a jain.
The problem in following the herd, emerged in indo-gangetic plains, they are very much attracted to its beauty and nature. The vethans established a new settlements and towns in gangetic plains. Hence the remaining two major clans continued their journey from indo-gangetic plain to bottom of south. Finally the journey ends in south. Now the question is when this kaliyugam started and when this will end?
Desert, kaali and the birth of kali yugam
The fall of atlantis was the beginning of kaliyugam and the fall of kaali(?) will be the end of kali yugam ,that will pave way for the beginning of dharma yugam. So it s clear there was an environmental chaos, land loss, ocean atrocities and desertification, of animals, people and kingdom started. So the kingdom start to fall and the search for new land, new continent begins. Until the last remains of atlantis, those three clans(shivaites, mayons and vethans) alone stayed there. Hence those three were with the kali, and the starting place of kali yugam. (oodukaali followed the atlantians). The characteristic of kaliyugam are, Vishnu get into deep sleep under the earth, shiva alone remains, the virtues disintegrates, holy scriptures get burned, fake gods and worships emerges, white elephants, white tiger, white swan , white lotus gets extinct, money and power reaches to the hands of wicked people. Shiva rises from his elephant skin throne and walks in kailash thinking about the birth of kaali. And there exist turbulence everywhere.
Who is this kaali or kaaliyan – this creature is neither male nor female, it was left unkilled by Vishnu so it had the power as narashimha had. Its body is made of earth and water, which is nothing but wicked ferocious senses used for destruction and it’s powerful in water. Have we ever saw the namboothris feeding their gods, they make crocodile out of rice and do pooja for that, crocodile is as powerful as 30 elephants in water !!. Kaali was born from earth and powerful in water(the volcanic eruption and destruction of atlantis) . it was born from earth in upside down , shiva was eager to see kaali and the bhootas took kaali to shiva abode, in the process of discussion kaali recived few boons from shiva . As we know shiva is liked by both devas and ashuras, kaali received some boons, knowing this, Vishnu took a begger form and stood on the way of kaali, when kaali asked the reason , vishu asked either to fight with him or do a favour of not hurting the beggers in kaliyugam, if doing so kaali will lose its power and kingdom and will reach hell, she also accepted the begger request (Vishnu reques) thinking there may not be any threat from begger and the kaliyugam was started and Vishnu went to deep sleep in under water.
Now let us know about anthakasuran. When shiva and parvathi were cuddling, parvathi playfully closed shiva eyes and there born anthakasuran from the sweat of shiva. Which could be understood as the kali yugam was the embodiment of sins collected in the earlier three yugas. In the time span of shiva closed his eyes or eyes closed anthakasuran was born. He was senseless, not having eyes and hearing his roaring sound the scared parvathi removed his hands also. Antakasuran was conqured all the worlds. When he reached to take over kailash (shiva ‘s abode) with the help of seven women, shiva killed anthakasuran by placing him in air with his trident and That will be the end of kali yugam. There will be the dharma yugam where the righteousness and happy life will be established, everything will be back to normal, rhythmic life. Generation of offspring’s of plants, animals, and humans will take place.
