The Enigma of the "Asura"

A detailed overview of Samudra Raja or the King of the Oceans in Hindu mythology. It explains that while Varuna Deva is primarily identified as the King of the Oceans and God of Water, An Asura other figures like the demon Pournamasi and the serpent king Vasuki are also sometimes referred to by this title in various ancient Indian texts and folklore. The transcript focuses heavily on Varuna's significance as described in the Vedas, particularly the Rigveda, detailing his role as a powerful sovereign deity And an alternative history of Sri Lanka and the origins of Buddhism, positing that Sri Lanka, referred to as Atalanka or the mountain peak of the lost continent Atlantis/Kumari Kandam, was the true cradle of both a powerful ancient civilization and the Buddha. The source argues that a seven-year rain event submerged Atalanka, forcing many inhabitants (the Ra Vana or Sun Lineage) to migrate and found civilizations like Egypt and Mesopotamia, while the remaining mountain people, the Helayo, developed a culture of introspection that led to the emergence of Gautama Buddha. Furthermore, a podcast discussion questions the traditional Indian sites of Buddhism, offering Sri Lankan locations that align with the Buddha's instructions regarding geographically straight and equally distanced pilgrimage spots
