In the Bhagavad Gita it states that after the war, the Pandavas, after defending the Kurus, divided up the world. Each of the Pandava brothers would rule different parts of the world. It clearly tells who went where. In one Vedic scripture tells how one of the brothers traveled through a tunnel under the ocean to get to South American to start his own dynasty.
If there is so much evidence of Hinduism in South America why not mention this story?

You talked about a mass migration. In one of the ancient Indian texts (Bhāgavata Purāṇa, still available in libraries and online) THERE IS a mass migration of King Bali and his civilization which was super advanced.

So south americans are our blood brothers. Since long time I was always fascinated about the similarities of food preparation between India and South America. After seeing this video and praveen mohan, now I am convinced that south americans are my blood brothers

The Inca Emperor who began the construction of the temple complex at Macchu Piccu is called King Pacha Kutty, which is an unmistakably Malayalam name from Kerala in South India, whose direct translation means Green Man. The Aymara people of South America have a goddess called Pacha Mama - again a Malayalam word meaning Green Mother or Earth Mother. Even the word Aymara is a Malayalam word for the Iyer people of Kerala, who are of the Brahmin priest class. Iyer Mar in Malayalam simply means Iyer people.

Wow, truly fascinating. The history of this planet and those who have occupied it is amazing. I just wish we weren't lied to so much

i LOVE Praveen's work, i am glad you mentioned him. He talks to locals a LOT and quotes from local ledgend vs whats MSM tells you.

[helenarovan]

Very intriguing! I follow Praveen as well and he had spoken a lot about this. Love your presentation 👍🏻🤗

OMG. This makes so much sense. I never even put this together.

Sometimes the reward is the journey itself rather than the destination. Indeed, no destination can be reached without a journey.

Modern day Indians are descendents of Harappa culture. Many of their things are still visible or part of Indian culture today. They moved away and abandoned due to Saraswati river being lost. They moved inwards to ganga plains. In our text South America is called Patal lok. So it is possible people knew about it.

According to Mahabharat text during the great war .a demon named Mayasur ran away sensing defeat.and settled somewhere very very far from India..and thus built a new civilization..
Mayasur is named atleast 71 times in Mahabharat and 14 times in Holy Ramayana...
Mayasur had great knowledge in art, astrology, maths, science

Hi Sir, you should investigate further about the Majapahit empire in Indonesia. The Hindu-buddhist influence was found all over Indonesia. The Malay/Javanese people were said to have created ships called Djongs which had sails that could sail against the wind. It was said that they reached Africa and South America before European explorers. Chinese and Portuguese records support these claims and states that their ships could carry 700 people on average. They even had cannons in the 13th century. Firepower technology they got from the Mongols who tried to invade them. It is possible they help spreadthe influence of Hinduism to the Americas.

Also Hinduism then impacted South America many centuries later when East Indians came to Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana and even Venezuela during the period of indenture servitude.

This is EXACTLY why we must differentiate Indian from brown people. no conversation can be had if we simply refer to all indigenous as Indian. This is actually about Indians from India on the South American continent.
