Nagargal - A community's History Purposely Rewritten? Massacre Continues.
We saw in a previous post (click here to read) that Serphant worship was practised in Tamilnadu, which was given the name Aravanadu (Aravam means snakes, Nadu means land or region). Serphant refers to those who had reached enlightenment or Nirvana and were referred to as Nagargal.
And we've already proven that the word Nirvana has a Tamil etymology (click here to read more).
We've also discovered that Snake worship is practiced in many other civilizations (click here to read), including ancient Egypt, Babylon, Mesopotamia, Australia, and Athens & Greece.
This nagar community is also visible to individuals living in north India, as recounted in the Mahabharatha (click here to read). As proof of this, Naga Panchami is still observed as an important event in Nepal and other north Indian states such as Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, and Rajasthan. Serphants are worshiped in Nagpur, Punjab, Westbengal, Orrisa and Assam as well.

In the Bareilly area of Uttar Pradesh, there is a place called Ahichchatra.
We've heard historians talk about step pyramids in Cambodia, Sri Lanka, and Mexico, but did you know there's a stepped pyramid in India? The photograph below was captured in the state of Uttar Pradesh, close to the city of Bareilly, which was then known as Ahi kshetra.

Take a look at the temple's position; it's on a hill. I've already stated in prior blogs that Nagargal exclusively resided in hills or elevated areas in ancient times. (To read more, click here.)
In the Sullia Taluk in Dakshina Kannada, Karnataka, there is still a village called Subramanya. The river Kumaradhara, which flows directly behind the temple, surrounds the village. Snake is the major deity worshipped here. (To read more, click here.)

Having spoken about Pyramid, one cannot forget the Sphinix and the connection with Tamil tradition. See the below pictures.
ITS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS MERE COINCIDENCE
In the traditions of various temples, in Tamilnadu the image (Sphinx) that is worshiped is called as Purshamriga in sanskrit (Tamil name unknown, it is also known as Purusamirugan Maharishi) plays an important role. Devotees entering the Nataraja temple in Chidambaram will first look at the purushamriga before proceeding to the central shrine. They purge sins and impurities, according to tradition. Purushamriga, which can be found at the gates of Shiva temples in Kalahasti and Tiruvatavur, serve the same purpose. The purushamriga is reported to have visited all three temples after participating in the Pandava kings' Rajasuya yaja. The Shiva temple of the village of Tirumazhapadi is according to its tradition founded by the purushamriga. Also the origin of the 12 Shiva temples that belong to the tradition of the run for the Shivaratri festival is connected to the purushamriga.
CURRENT SCENES OF THE NAGAR WORSHIPPED TEMPLES IN INDIA
When you look at all of these temples across India, especially those that were worshipped by the Nagar community, you'll notice that they're either completely demolished, abandoned, not worshipped, or under the protection of UNESCO. Even in Tamilnadu, cholan-built temples such as Tanjore Big Temple, Airavardeshwarar Temple, Kancheepuram Kailasa Nathar Temple, or Mahabhallipuram Temple are not known for rituals. They are just there to serve as big monuments. Even the Ramappa Temple and the Lepakshi Temple in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka are only monuments with no religious significance. Despite the presence of deities, the temple is not religiously run in the same way as other temples.
The majority of temples where religious ceremonies are performed are completely controlled by Indo Aryans, through the brahmin community. Not only that, but we can clearly see in some temples how they have ruined and changed the entire tradition of that temple, and have installed deities that are not relevant, manufactured myths and illogical stories, and have mystified Hindu gods and their devotees. If you travel around Tamilnadu, you will come across various temples; I will offer you one example in this article.
HOW INDO ARYANS CHANGED THE HISTORY
Nagarcoil is a town in southern India, and it is commonly known that the name originates from a temple there called Nagarajar Temple.
There is another place called Nagarcoil in Jaffna district of Srilanka
By its name, it is clear that this is a place where the Naga people inhabited, and as I said in my earlier article (click here to read), the Naga/Tamil tradition was known as Assevagam. We can re assure this through the verses of Valmiki Ramayana
When Anjenya was on his way to Sri Lanka in quest of Sita devi, he described the places where King Ravanan ruled in the Valmiki Ramayanan at Sundara Kandam. In one of the slogas, it is stated that Nagas resided in large numbers atop in a mountain called Mahendragiri.
And this Mahendragiri mountain is still found 23kms away from today's Nagarcoil town in South India. In same location, there is also an ISRO station. Mahendragiri is a mountain range in the Western Ghats.
To confuse Hindu devotees, another hill in the eastern ghats of Odisha has been given the same name, and that peak has been dubbed Holy Mountain, while the one in Nagarcoil has been given no such name.

Look below for the gopuram normally built in Tamil temples especially for Nagarajar Temple. The above temple present in Nagarcoil, its visible that the gopuram has been demolished and made to look like a Krishna temple.

They have even went to the level of calling this as a Jain temple, even though there is no evidences found inside the temple.
Thanks to Wikipedia, which has also cast doubt on the temple's mixed background. However, Tamil newspapers such as Dinamalar, which are pro-Indo-Aryan, have stated that Nagaraja is not the main deity and that they are simply custodian deities. (click here to read)
They've even gotten to the point where devotees are praying in the temple for relief from the serphant and serphant planets' negative impacts. When you read what they have explained on the greatness of the temple you would be amazed on the philosophical thinking of that. No doubt they are very clever people. Read below what they have written.

In most temples, the flag post (kodimaram) is positioned at the temple's entrance, and the respective vahana is placed at the kodimaram or the flag post. Lord Anandha Krishna is the major deity of this temple, however tortoise is the vahana in the kodimaram. Normally, it is nanthi in Shiva temples, Rat in Vinayaga temples, and so on. Only the Garudan should be placed in the kodimaram/flag post if it is a krishna or Vishnu temple. But why is it tortoise? tortoises have no connection to Lord Krishna. Read on to learn how they corroborate this theory.
The tortoise was chosen as the vahana at the kodimaram because of the connection it has in Assevagam which was the way of living that ancient Tamils / Nagas followed. There is a specific type of tortoise can be found in large numbers in the sea between Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka. Kacham is the Tamil word for tortoise. Even now, there is a place called Kachathevu. It simply indicates that there were a lot of tortoises on the island.
These tortoises are basically the GPRS or Google Map for sailors back in those days. If the sailors are unable to locate the direction to return to land after leaving the tortoise in the middle of the ocean, they will simply follow the tortoise. It has served as sea navigators
When you drop the tortoise in the middle of the ocean and they will simply follow the tortoise, and the tortoise has a natural tendency to find a way to land.
Tortoises are common in the area between Kanyakumari and Orrisa, not just in Sri Lanka and south India. Before the name Madras or Madarasapatinam, it was called as "Amaiyur", The name Thiru Amaiyur is transformed to Thiruvanmaiyur today. I will post a sepearate article on the sea turtles, and the connections with Assevagam and Ancient Tamils/Nagas.
Tortoise is found in many temples allover south india.
They have narratives tied to Kurma Avatar for tortoise with Vishnu, just as they have the Dasavatharam stories stitched together. However, there is no explanation as to why the Thala virutcham is still the cannon ball tree's nagalinga flower (couripita gynensis). The combination of its 6 petals, fleshy disc, stamen, and reduced styles are perfectly aligned with a Shivalingam guarded by a five-hooded Nagaraja.
In Nagarcoil Sri Nagarajar temple as a symbolic representation because this temple belongs to the Nagas, and the tortoise is featured in the kodimaram/flag post and hence the Nagalinga flower tree as the sthala virutcham.
All of these information demonstrates how they have trampled on the Naga / Tamil community's history. But until now, we are yet to discover, why did they do all this to Tamils.
Readers any guess?
