Dear all,

 

Gaya is indeed a sacred word in Vedic folklore, and came into

existence only in Treta Yuga (epoch), after lord Rama of Ayodhya had

become emperor of Aryavarta. It proves that, from the word Hapta-

Hindava used in Avestan literature, that the Hindavas are a branch of

West-Eurasians or NE-Persians who entered India by road, mountains or

by flying, such as yogiswaras, magic-carpets or vimanas using mantric

powers (ref. Buddhist literature, Mantra-tantra literature, Jain

literature). The meaning of Gaya in sanskrit remains didactic.

 

The place Gaya is now a tirthasthana in Bihar state and seems to have

been named after a string of similar places in Eurasia having the

same name "Gaya". It is also the place where Siddhartha Gautama, the

Sakya prince of Kapil-avastu, attained Enlightenment under a Bodhi

tree and became an arhat (prophet) as well as Jinendra (Jina=a

divinity-attained sage, indra=King). . PS:Can we find out if

any "Gayas" exist in Europe?

 

In ancient times (until 700AD) it was compulsory for pilgrims to

visit "the three Gayas" in Aryavartavaijagha. Until Ramayana the

people had settled only upto the upper Gangetic plains. The rest of

India was completely jungle. Many believe that Rama, Lakshmana and

Shatrughna are actually avatar (incarnations) of aryan gods of

Eurasia while Bharata was an ordinary mortal. Sita, wife of Rama, was

also known as Vedavasti (or Vedavati). Though in India they are

regarded as part-manifestations of Vedic god Vishnu, who along with

Vashnu, Rashnu, Jishnu, Jashnu, Hishnu, Hashnu etc. form a class of

gods known as the Kshnuma: (ref. Rudram-Chamakam mantrakoshas and

Amarakosha of Amarasimha) |

"Gaya" is indeed avestan word which mean "the live" and it is shown

for an example in GayaMaretan (= Gayomard) = "the mortal live".
