Atlantis - Vedic Tripura
(Posted by Swardata. Translated from the Russian using Google Translate)
The myth of Atlantis can without exaggeration be called the most important for the whole of European culture. The very history of the European nations began with the death of the mother of civilization. Perhaps it will end at the time when the sacred homeland is regaining. We can say that the myth of Atlantis carries a prophecy. This is a sacred tradition, which offers not only the beginning, but the final of the European peoples. In any case, that's understood his Dmitri Merezhkovsky. [1] Atlantis - the myth of the matrix of European civilization, the paradigm of development.The timing of the creation of the myth of Atlantis - the most important scientific problem. Its essence is that it is one of the few myths that have arisen, apparently in the wake of real historical event - the death of the ancient island civilization. Therefore, almost every historical accident, a natural disaster can be tied to the myth of Atlantis. There is no doubt that a serious argument in favor of true devotion and help to the chronology of events may be the extent of the myth in Indo-European peoples. If this myth is found among various peoples of Indo-European tribe, it will be proof that it existed before the breach of the original Unity (3rd millennium BC. E.), And the events described in it have occurred even earlier.Plato argued that the myth of Solon heard from Egyptian priests. The centuries-old search for the roots of this myth in Egypt, however, have not met with notable success. It is, in fact, only confirms the idea that the myth of Atlantis, though was told by the priests, but are not part of the Egyptian spiritual tradition, and was borrowed by them. Themselves priests pointed to European origin myth. This idea is an indirect confirmation of the Celtic legend of the city Isaiah (Ys), as a result of the sinking of the cataclysm, sent to punish people for their impure sins. [2] But so far not taken any satisfactory attempt to find traces of the myth of Atlantis in the epic Indo-Aryans.Meanwhile, in the "Mahabharata" and "Matsya Purana" contains tradition, immediately attracts attention. We are talking about the mythological city of Tripura. First of all, you need to pay attention to the fact that there were two Tripura - the original and secondary. Three sons Taraki - Tarakaksha, Kamalaksha Vidyunmalin and decided to build three cities. However, they are not located in different places on the earth and each other - one on the ground, the other - in the air and the third - in the sky. Thus arose the "Triple City", who, in fact, one. [3] Hence its name - Tripura, Triple Town. In the "Mahabharata" is an important observation that the triple city was "on the circle". [4] The commentary to the text of this guidance notes uncertainty, but said that "all three cities were located in such a way that revolved around". [5] It is emphasized that the motive of the rotating or palace is stable and common in Indo-European folklore."Ambiguity" of this place in the "Mahabharata" is associated only with the certainty of commentators that the epic was created already in India itself. Meanwhile, back in the early XX century. Indian scholar and traditionalist BG Tilak proved by analyzing the hymn "Rigveda", that the ancestors of the Aryan peoples living in the age of the interglacial in the Arctic region. [6] Many myths, therefore, should be analyzed and can be understood only if the adoption of the theory and characteristics of the Arctic polar movement of the sun and the sky.If the "Mahabharata" states that Tripura was "lap" and rotates on its axis, it can only be understood in the light of the theory Tilak. Such a circular rotation of possible only if it is located in the Center of the World - the North Pole. It is worth noting that the Indian Aryans used to refer to the sacred center of the world the term «nabhif», which means "navel", "hub (wheel)," "the central point (space) ',' hole recess." Linked with it the idea of a continuous circular motion. In the Upanishads, for example, the Brahman - the one who "move in circles - brightness, incorporeal, do not carry the scars, bezmuskulnaya, pure, untouched by sin ... <...> "It is He who came around." In other words, the cycle of movement that triggered the manifestation of the eternal, created the worlds ... "[7]. In "Isha Upanishad" of Brahman said: "It moves, and it does not move" (v. 5). Being in the center, being in itself, Brahman is stationary, but moves the whole world. Aurobindo says: "The Brahman himself at peace, quiet and motionless, in which he moves and nourishes the energy". [8] Movement of the world is due to the stationary engine - center. The concept of the center as the wheel is rotating around a fixed axis, could be formed only where such a center was seen as the true reality - the North Pole. <...>As Atlanta, after whom was named Atlantis, holds on his shoulders the vault of heaven, serving as the World Pillar and Indra performs a similar feat. In the "Rig Veda" a lot of places devoted to the description of the action: "Indra supported heaven" (RV. III. 44, 3), "No, it has strengthened beams high heaven" (RV. I. 15, 2), "He built the sky" ( RVs. I. 121, 2). In other places, even more: "You're a firm foundation strengthened force of the sky (and) the earth, O Indra, to (their) places ..." (RV. I. 56, 6), "self-existent, it is the sky, as if the head Decoration "(RV. I. 173, 6)," He supported all the nursing ground. Magical power, it has strengthened the sky, so it does not fall "(RV. II. 17, 5), etc. To simply divide the upper and lower space, but also to strengthen, balance it, set the vertical column is not somewhere namely, in the center of the space. The image of Indra, who strengthened and keeps in balance the Earth and the celestial center, could only have arisen in the present geographical center of the world - the North Pole.Because of its sacred nature of the image center is very attractive to mythmaker, as it allows to allocate space primal, sacred pattern, unchanging space basis of the whole world, Divine Cosmos in the polar axis of the myth is sacred. The central axis was conceived as a vertical line Sky-Earth, Polaris - the North Pole, the summer solstice - the winter solstice. The axis is a sign of the Center for Peace and the North Pole, as the whole inhabited world extends around her. This axis in its immobility is continuing nature and perfection of God's Son, His unity. Polar, axial nature of God of Light is related to its constancy, eternity, immutability, and even immobility or omission.In temperate and tropical regions of the sky can be represented as a swirling hemisphere. However, this rotation from east to west, provided that the observer see only half of the roundabout (second half hidden behind the horizon). Only at the Pole celestial sphere rotates like a wheel mounted on a pole - the vertical support. Nowhere except in the North Pole could not get the idea from the Axis of the world, holding the celestial sphere above the ground. If the myth says that the sky is supported by a vertical axis and rotates like a wheel, then it can only be about polar Tradition. This is fully true for such characters of myth, like Atlanta.The axis of the cosmos appears in the myths in the images of the World Tree, the ladder by which God of Light rises to the sky during the polar day and on which descends into the darkness of the Arctic night. Polar God - God is the center, the God of the World Tree (Odin and Yggdrasil). Cyclic path of the Light of God appears in the form of a circle and its axis, polar entity is in a vertical line, the pillar of the mountain. Along the vertical line connection is established heaven and earth and is a convergence of "the will of Heaven." Transcendental ego effect creates a sacred pole, giving energy orbiting space. The vertical axis is the outward expression or embodiment of the "will of Heaven" and will set the parameters of the universal harmony based on bringing its sacred energies. Primordial sacred poles come here in a direct correlation with the transmitted through the vertical axis of the transcendental tradition. Cutting all the planes of existence, the World Axis converts them sacred, making the seat of the sacred traditions and implementation center (pole) of each of these levels.For a deeper understanding of this theme should apply to one more book, part of the "Mahabharata". It describes in detail the "Northern Territory", which illuminates its radiance divine central Mount Meru. "Mahabharata" says: "There is an incomparable mountain Meru, brilliant, rich luster. Their peaks, glowing gold, it reflects the brilliance of the sun. Wonderful in a gold dress she visits the gods and Gandharvas. Immeasurable it harder for people who are burdened by sins. <...> This is great mountain, covering his sky-high. It is inaccessible even thought of others ". [9] Measure - the mountain, which, according to myth, is located in the Center of the Earth. It is a sacred "navel", Pole, the same as the Greek Olympus. The peak of it is in heaven, the middle part - on the ground, and the base rests in the underworld. As a world-axis it unites the three worlds. At the top is the holy city of Brahma, or the abode of bliss. HPB puts Measure "at the center of the North Pole" and notes that "it was the first place the continent on our soil after hardening of the ball". [10] <...>Stars and the moon (Soma) revolve around Meru - a fixed point in space, and "tirelessly Savitar moves in a circle, turning the wheel of time". [11] For those devotees who lived in this divine center of the world "every day, every night seemed to them the whole year". [12] This is a pretty accurate description of the polar year, which is divided into two halves - the polar day and polar night. Here we read of wondrous radiance that emanated from Meru. Thanks to this "night here was similar to the day". [13] Tilak believed that this description can be interpreted only as the northern lights. [14]By itself, the myth of Tripura among the most ancient layers of "Mahabharata". It is not created by the authors of the epic, and used them as a description of exemplary precedent original war - between the gods and the Asuras. It is no accident that in the 'Isha Upanishad, "states that" [worlds] Asura called those worlds, covered with darkness is blind "[15] - one of the possible descriptions of the long polar night.It is known that in ancient sacred city centers often repeated shapes of the constellations and the movement of stars in the sky. City, having in the plan area, maybe the earth playback of circular rotation of the celestial sphere. However, there is only one place where the ancestors. Indo could observe rotation of stars around a fixed point at the center of the sky (above the head of the observer), the North Pole. The rotation of Tripura "around" and the circular shape of the city itself may be only playing the polar motion of the stars in the night sky and the land around a fixed center.The memory of ancestral polar preserved in the oldest cities in terms of the circular-Indo-European settlement. This circular is famous Аркаим (Fig. 1) - the oldest Indo-European settlement in the Urals.
Figure 1. Arkaim - fortified settlement XVIII-XVI centuries. BC. e.,detected in the southern Urals
The city is focused not only on the north-south and east-west, but the buildings and streets indicate the equinoxes and solstices. According to the system of coordinates Arkaim, writes KK, Bystrushkin, is "the image of Heaven on Earth". [16] The only problem is that this circular rotation of the sky can be observed only at the North Pole. Complex cities in the Urals, also built on a single plan existed in the 3rd millennium BC. e. and noted the movement of Indo-European tribes in the relocation from the north to the south - to Iran and India. It is in the north-south direction and the transmission was the primary tradition. There is no doubt that all the cities and villages that contain a range of terms and a fixed center point of the sacred, is recollection and re-creation of the ancient ancestral polar - Ultima Thule, Tulan or Tripura. [17] With this myth relates J. Evola memory "about the Nordic country and Nordic culture where transcendent, non-human spirituality is closely linked with the heroic, royal, triumphant element" [18]. From the fact of the history of this center is transformed into the image of spiritual evolution. Here the story becomes a tradition in the transcendental sense.In "Matsya Purana" definitely speaks of the death of the original Tripura. Lord of ecstatic dream, illusion and magic of the Mayan, referring to the brothers, said: "On the asuras, we will have to go under the protection of the stormy waters of the ocean. There, in the depths of the sea, the gods will not be able to follow us, and we did not obey his power "[19]. Next Maya gives a sign, "and Tripura suddenly began to move, plunged into the ocean, and disappeared from the eyes of astonished the gods". [20] This is a very important point, which has a direct bearing on the historical fate of the polar homeland. Primal Tripura, as stated in this passage, sank to the bottom of the ocean is voluntary and not the result of a disaster or destruction. This "voluntary immersion" of the city is only possible if the melting glaciers raised sea levels and floods the formerly open shelf. This has happened in the age of the interglacial. With this and could be related deaths ancestral home of the Aryans and the outcome of the polar region.To some extent, this is an indication of the event may be the words of the "Maitri Upanishad." Speaking on the transience of all earthly things, and the death of all the visible, author of the text notes that "leaning pole star are broken strands wind drops land away from [his] place of the gods". [21] Land subsidence related to the outcome of the gods and to the "declination" North Star. Here are the key words that it is not displaced, and leaning. The displacement of the North Star - an ongoing process that is associated with precession of the Earth's axis with respect to the celestial sphere, where at various times it was that of the different stars in different constellations. [22] This also can not be associated with a hypothetical sharp tilting the Earth's axis, as in this case, the person who is on the pole, the North Star would still be at the zenith. Simply, it will be another star. "Inducement" also means that the North Star is the same, but now it is no longer directly overhead, and "bent", moved to the side. This is possible only when the observer moves from the polar region in the middle zone and the tropics. There is no North Star shines above his head, and "points" to the north, on the side away from the viewer, as if "bent." "Inducement" means the relocation of the North Star from the polar region and lower land, referred to in the "Upanishad" is the cause of such a relocation.Tilak came to the conclusion that "the climate of the Arctic region has been in an interglacial period of mild and moderate, constantly reminding lasting spring. Around the North Pole was a continent, who went under the water in the period of glaciation ". [23] The situation of land subsidence in the North Pole, to the point and describe such sacred texts as "Maitri Upanishad", "Matsya Purana" and "Mahabharata".However, the history of Tripura is not over. After the initial polar Tripura "voluntarily" sank to the bottom of the ocean, Shiva asked Brahma to indicate to him the place where the city was gone. "Matsya Purana," reports that "the omniscient Brahma, Shiva and pointed the way to his army Tripura, has reappeared on the surface at the western edge of the ocean". [24] So instead of the sunken original Tripura Tripura appears secondary. Polar replaced western Tripura. This is one of the most important moments of the sacred old Aryan myth. We are not talking only about the presence of two centers, one after another in history, but also the continuity of the polar and Western traditions.If we assume that the myth of Tripura was established by the Aryans of India after the settlement, then the western ocean should understand modern Arabian Sea. However, even in the myth of Tripura has nothing to do with India, and the events described in it occurred in ancient times, in the initial days. The emergence of West Tripura occurs immediately after the death of Tripura polar and outcome of the Aryans with their Arctic homeland. Tilak, based on the evidence of "Rigveda", took the event to a 10-8th millennium BC. e. [25] Therefore, these events took place in the era of the ancient Indo-European unity and the coming of the Aryans in India. By this time, should also include the creation of the myth. It must be recognized in that case that "the western edge of the" world's oceans to the Indo-European tribe, had just moved from the polar region to the north of Europe (where arias and then came to India), is the Atlantic Ocean. At this point the myth of western Tripura directly related to Plato's myth of Atlantis.Indian myth suggests that you should not mix the two Tripura - Polaris and Western. These were all the same, two different locations, although one and another one plays. You should not mix Atlantis and Hyperborea. Polar Tripura as Hyperborea as Ultima Thule, bears primary tradition. While western Tripura and Atlantis - only secondary. R. Guenon warned against such mixing and specifically noted that "make North Hyperborea and Atlantis - the West". [26] In this case, the secondary tradition, represented western Tripura and Atlantis, refers only to the later and limited historical time. The fact that the secondary center bears the same name and is built on the same architectural principles as the original, Tripura, means, according to Guenon that "subordinate spiritual centers based on the image of the higher centers, and that they attached the same name" [27 ]. Atlantis - the secondary center, bearing in a tradition of Hyperborea. This is expressed in the principle that the power comes from the north west. Is the successor of the North West and the world has its value. The secondary center is an emanation of the spiritual power of the original Polar Center.The very position of the second Tripura, or Atlantis, the west-east axis indicates their subordination "to the Hyperborean center, housed in the polar north-south axis" [28]. The secondary center is not just the memory of the original homeland, or reproduce, but the carrier tradition in the history and reconstruction of the Golden Age of humanity. However, secondary tradition founded by people and limited in time, and the original tradition has superhuman origin and timeless nature. Because of this myth, and even the Bible texts "Egyptian Book of the Dead" is only secondary to the polar revelation contained in the text of "Avesta", "Rig" and "Popol Vuh."There is direct textual overlap between the myth of Tripura and dredaniem of Atlantis. First of all, 'of course, we are talking about uniformity describe the appearance of Tripura and Atlantis. "Matsya Purana" and "Mahabharata" reported three round town, merged into one, and the first one was made of gold, the other - from the silver, and the third - of iron [29]. In turn, Plato in the dialogue "Critias" said a central island surrounded by the "alternate water and earth rings (earth was two, and water - three) all larger diameter, conducted as if the compass of the middle of the island, at equal distance from each other" [ 30]. Central island and two earthen ring - this is a description of a triple-like Tripura. The walls of each of these cities were covered with metal. The outer city wall was covered with copper, middle - tin, and the inner city - precious orichalcum. [31] The walls of the temple of Poseidon were lined with silver and gold. [32] Such detailed description of the matches in the Indian holy city of ancient myth and prove not only the relationship of the two stories, but the stories of historical authenticity.In other Indo-European sacred myths we find the same pattern. In "Avesta" description Vary, a town built on the orders of Yima Ahuramazda, fits the description of Atlantis and polar Tripura. Like Atlantis, Vara consists of three concentric circles, connected by bridges, "Nine strong bridges erected in front of the fortress of your circle, and six - on average, in the third - make three. And thou shalt bring the bridge in front luchschy seed thousands of people in the world, in the middle circle - six hundred and three hundred - the last "[33]. At the same time as the original Tripura, Vara was on the pole, because there the sun, moon and stars "once found its way across the sky commit" and "year seemed Day". [34] In Irish legend hero named Tadg traveled to their eternally alive - a remote island in the middle of the ocean. Island called Inis Loja - Island on the lake. At the heart of the island towered three mountains on the top of each of them was an impregnable fortress. The Two Towers was with walls of white marble, and the third - with walls of silver. Essentially, this is the same image as Tripura. Polar location of the island is not in doubt: the heroes were there for a year, but they thought that was just a day ("the year seemed to them one day"). [35] In "Swim Maille Duino" is a description of the island, like the Tripura Atlantis: the travelers reached the "high islands, separated by four fences in four parts. One fence was made of gold, the other of silver, the third of copper, the fourth of the glass. In one compartment were kings, another queen, soldiers in the third, the fourth young girl ". [36]Plan of the capital of Atlantis, built not on the Greek and the Egyptian samples, recalls, according to J. Markal, "large megalithic sanctuaries, which are found in Brittany (Gavrinis, Dissinyak and Barnenz) and Ireland (New Grange)" [37] . He said as a general rule that the "megalitizm - Atlantic civilization", and she, in turn, was one of the last fragments of Atlantean civilization. [38] Therefore, according to Markal "Stonehenge and Carnac could to some extent be constructed along the lines that once existed on the island of Atlantis disappeared". [39] The study Markal concludes that "in large megalithic ensembles can see a relic of sacred architecture of Atlantis". [40] However, he ignores the truth that lies behind the Atlantic tradition spawned its original Hyperborean tradition, making his conclusions are not always accurate.Contemporary of Atlantis may be building in Gebekli Tepe, south-east Turkey, relating to 9500 BCE. (Or even earlier), which is considered "the most ancient temple in the world" (Figure 2).
Fig. 2. Gebekli Tepe. T-shaped columnsSettlements were built in 9500 BC. e.
Belonging to the Neolithic building, however, demonstrates a high level of technical knowledge builders, surpassing all that is known so far about the culture of the Neolithic. Three square religious buildings decorated with circles and rows of T-shaped columns, which show the different animals. Inside the main building are the pillars that make up a full circle with a diameter of about six meters.The whole complex was a religious center, and images of animals can be a totem. At least, this indicates the presence of an elaborate religious worship and the presence of the priestly caste. This same culture and the same time, is found in the 1997 Neolithic site Karahan Tepe. There were also found a T-shaped columns, decorated with images of animals. The buildings are oriented to the north, and their creators clearly showed interest in religious North Star.Plato says that Poseidon, setting up the central part of the capital city of Atlantis, "exuding from the earth two springs - one warm and one cold". [41] These springs gave water "as a wonderful taste, and in the healing power" [42]. There is general consensus that such a miraculous appearance of the springs with hot and cold water is a sign of volcanic activity on the island. [43] A similar description is also in the myth of Tripura. Miraculously, the prayer of the devotee in the middle of the city there is a pond, "in which the dead come to life". [44] The unexpected appearance of the lake with healing ("quickening") water is the obvious consequence of the volcano. Later during the war with the gods Asuras give life in this pond their fallen soldiers.Indian myth says that the Asuras, living in Tripura, in no known flaws, they are free from fear, and spent time in entertainment, happy, like the gods. Wise Maya "supplied all necessary, under his tutelage they lived, before anything fearlessly", getting everything you want. [45] Asuras were always full of fun and did not know the quarrels and discord. The same is the story and Plato. In the Atlantean reigned abundance, "they amassed such wealth, which never had none of the royal dynasty" [46]. The "most of the things needed for life gave the island itself," the land which brought harvest twice a year. [47] Atlantis was a happy life, because they followed the divine law, and all things "are being built together in accordance with the requirements of Poseydonovymi" [48]. Divine law protects the happy life of Tripura and Atlantis, will grant them happiness and abundance.Plato, speaking of the prosperity of the state, attributes it to the fact that "the rulers of Atlantis obedience to the laws and live in friendship with the divine akin to them: they blyuli true and all the great system of thought, were due to the inevitable fate determination and to each other with reasonable patience despising everything but virtue, bid defiance to the richness and easily revered almost a disappointing burden piles of gold and other treasures. They do not got drunk on a luxury not to lose self-control and common sense under the influence of wealth, but by keeping sober mind, clearly saw that all this must increase their common consent in connection with a virtue, but when it gets taken care of and is in honor , then both it turns to dust and with it dies virtue. While they are well reasoned, and the divine nature kept them in his power, all their property, we have described, increased "[49]. Guarantee of prosperity of Atlantis - to maintain its inhabitants divine nature, to follow the divine law. As residents of Tripura, Atlanta got its wealth as a gift from the gods, as a reward for virtue and selflessness.It is thanks to the divine protection, "the inhabitants of the town of Triple conquered all the worlds". [50] The people of Atlantis also created a "remarkable for the size and power of the kingdom, whose authority extended over the whole of the island, on many other islands and on the part of the continent, and beyond that, on this side of the strait until they have mastered Libya to Egypt and Europe up to Tirrenia" [51 ]. Both cities are thriving as a powerful empire, leading active expansionist policy towards the neighboring peoples and states.However, the principle of mythology stories cyclic change of ups and downs. Indian myth tells of the fall of Tripura as a consequence of the loss of pride and Asuras divine perfection. "Since then disappeared forever from the city of Maya, and happiness, and peace, and trust, and friendship. Envy, greed and anger settled in the souls of the asuras, their eyes were red from the constant anger and frustration. Strife and fighting broke out in Tripura hourly, and it was not easy to Maya reestablish peace and order among his subjects, for some time possessed some madness. Asuras were neglected rites, they were subjected to persecution of priests and repaired them all sorts of harassment and insults. Churches were empty, the lights went out on the altar, the priests, saving his life, took refuge in a secret hiding place, and no one was in Tripura prayers, sing hymns to Brahma, bring on the altars of sacrifice ". [52] Asura completely ceased to distinguish good from bad, day and night, and their fierce and bloody raids on neighbors terrified her senseless cruelty. All it means taking power in the military caste leaders."Lost in greed and blinded mind, they started without shame or conscience ravage around all populated places. Always and everywhere to escape paying the gods with attendant hosts of the proud new found nothing, they walked, where they would not want to. So dear to the hearts of the gods groves of the gods, the holy abode of the sages, sacrificial pillars village people - all destroyed, defying boundaries insidious Danavas "[53]. On the spiritual fall of the asuras (children are given) report and the "Upanishads." "Maitri Upanishad" speaks of them as blinded, full of affection, false praise, but "Chandogya Upanishad," they were referred to as materialists to the worship of "a body". [54] This is a very interesting concept historiosofic. The loss of the original sacred center leads to the fact that although the sacred tradition and reviving the secondary center, but it will soon deteriorate, without communication with the Divine Source.Considering the problem of the death of civilization, J. Evola writes: "Traditional - organic and articulated - the concept of the state always reflects that natural hierarchy of abilities inherent in man, taken as a whole, in which the purely physical and bodily elements control the vital forces, subordinates in turn spiritual life and character, and at the head of the body is spiritual and intellectual principle which the Stoics called the supreme ruler of the soul, gegemonikonom "[55]. This means that when the asuras put in the center of his life wealth, wealth and physical strength, they have violated the true hierarchy of being and rejected important tradition, which was the cause of their decline and demonic involution.The same ideas are contained in the dialogues of Plato. In the "Timaeus" refers to "the audacity of countless military forces going on a conquest of the whole of Europe and Asia". [56] "Amazing for the size and power of the kingdom" Atlantis threw all power "to ensure that a single blow enslave both your and our lands, and in general all of the country on this side of the Strait". [57] The kings of Atlantis, as well as masters of Tripura, are unjust war. Plato explains that in Atlanta "depleted relic of nature's God" and goodness in them waned. [58] The kings of Atlantis were descendants of the god Poseidon and a mortal woman. Divine and the human were equally represented in them, but the situation gradually worsened.The philosopher says, "But when inherited from God weakened share, repeatedly dissolving in death impurity, and human nature prevailed, then they were not able to bear any longer his wealth and lost decency. For someone who is able to see, they were a shameful spectacle, because squandered the most beautiful of its values, but unable to see what is truly happy life, they looked beautiful and happy just like the time when they boiled unbridled greed and power "[59]. The death of virtue and depravity is the result of mixing of the divine and the human, when the human, earthly, material is gradually replacing the divine. In that case, when a person feels a divine power, but attributes them only to himself, he falls into pride, loses the divine law and must be punished. The myth of Atlantis carries a message that the secret of the greatness of race is a natural nobility and purity of blood. The divine origin of the Atlanteans and their superhuman abilities testify that God lives only in pure blood. Once the blood is mixed with the divine human, Atlanta declined, and their civilization perished. Remarkably, "Bhagavad Gita" warns that mixing of castes "leads to hell» (I, 41-42).A. Villar notes that "Plato's Atlantis disappeared because its inhabitants have offended the gods". [60] It is the right conclusion. As you know, the world was divided equally among the gods. Zeus got the sky, Hades - the underworld, Poseidon - the sea and the island of Atlantis. Other gods also got in his possession various countries. So, Hephaestus and Athena got to his inheritance city of Athens. [61]But Atlanta, trying to capture all of the neighboring states, violated the will of the gods and should be punished for it. Just offended the gods and asuras its militant shortsighted policy.In response to the attacks of the asuras gods went to war against Tripura. Actual construction of the triple was associated with the ancient war between the gods and the Asuras. Their rivalry, which goes to war, always indicate "Upanishads" [62]. It is the oldest military conflict that occurred in the ancestral home of the Aryans, and became a model for the authors of the "Mahabharata". When the Asuras began to attack the neighboring land, the gods decided to "destroy the wicked". [63] The myth says that "the army of Indra is the approaches to the walls of the fortress, and soon began to boil a fierce battle between the Asuras and the host of heaven" [64]. The army of the gods several times went on the attack Tripura, but useless. Of all the gods Shiva had just enough strength to destroy the wicked city.The myth of Atlantis, and the myth of Tripura, carries a message of cosmic war. Asuras and Atlanta is not just obsessed with the idea of a world war, but this is where they see the foundation of his rule. Sense of life as a struggle of the soul fills the asuras and Atlanta, as well as the lives of chest devas and Greeks oppose them. War is presented here as the basis of the cosmic order, the struggle is the essence of the world. Both myth (not to mention the "Mahabharata" in general) are based on this heroic agony, which is subject to and the whole composition of tradition. Asuras and Devas war or Atlanteans and Greeks - a necessary condition for the existence of our future world. Without war, there would be neither a myth nor its disastrous outcome - the death of civilization in the waves of the ocean by the gods. The war plan manages myth. Her relentless, terrible force manifests itself in the very essence of the myth of the original pratsivilizatsii reveals her fate. This is revealed in the tragic fate of the necessity of war, which begins to bring Atlantis and Tripura to death.The war between the Devas and aeurami (as a war between the Atlanteans and Greeks) was the first world war in the history of human civilization. Its result was the destruction of cities, the destruction of, loss of most of mankind and nations. Nobody is left out of this war. On the contrary, all were involved in palates, and the most negative consequences for the combatants. Highest civilization in the world, prevailed then, was completely wiped out, plunging to the bottom of the ocean. The outcome of the war was a long period of darkness attack, decay, political and cultural chaos and oblivion civilization, savagery and mass amnesia that erase from the memory of mankind and that civilization itself, and the reasons for its demise. It was a sorrowful ending of an era in the history of mankind, from which rises the curve path of civilization."World history - a history of the struggle of the continental powers against sea powers and maritime powers against continental powers," - said Carl Schmitt [65].
