Introduction
I had only learned about the Vedic/Aryan GOD Ram/Rama just a year ago.
As I look up this GOD, I find this GOD existed not just in Asia, but also in the Biblical Mediterranean and in the Americas!
Officially, I find that no one talks about the GOD Rama in Mexico/Peru but the evidence is of the actual festivals celebrated there.
The GOD Rama’s wife is Sita. There is an extensive Epic written during the Vedic period named the Ramayana that covers the entire life and struggles of Ram and Sita.
Based on the descriptions of the Ice Age mammoth elephants present in the Ramayana Epic, this story was describing events possibly during the end of the Ice Age. Which means it is a 10,000 to 20,000 years ago story.
In some ways it would make sense about the Americas worshipping Rama because in the ancient epic, the Ramayana also references the Vedic/Aryan GOD Hanuman traveling to Central America. !!! So this is a match !!!
In Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico, Hanuman is known as Wilka Huemana.
In Mexico, the Vedic/Aryan GOD Ganesh is known as Ekadant Ganesh. (Where Eka = One in Sanskrit and Danta = Tusk in Sanskrit.). So Mexicans have it correct. Ganesh had one broken tusk. Also, there is a temple in Central America with a carving of an Elephant (Ganesh) at all corners that I was confused about previously. (Elephants are not found in the Americas so the idea for the Elephant image must have come from the East.)

The Mexican celebration of the Vedic/Aryan GOD Rama in Mexico was named as Situa Raimi festival. Situa being Sita and Raimi being Rama.
The book Hamsworth History of the World (1907) mentions that the Situa Raimi festival was celebrated in Mexico during the Vedic/Aryan celebration of the Goddess Durga called Navratri. (Nav-Ratri or Dussehra) in India.
Thanks to the European Catholic invaders who destroyed as many temples as they could find and also burned the Mexicans alive if they did not convert to Catholicism as dictated by the Pope in Rome, no one celebrates the Situa Raimi festival today.
Note: Similarities of the Mexican Trinity with the Vedic/Aryan Trinity;
Hindu Trinity = Brahma- Vishnu- Shiva
Mexican Trinity = Ho- Huitzilopochtli- Tlaloc

Ram/Rama in Piedras Negras, Guatemala
(this is a Mayan version of the Epic The Ramayana with Rama on the throne.)
Maya Civilization - https://bookofmormonevidence.org/maya-civilization-of-mexico-baffling-links-with-ancient-india/
The Mormon church, I am finding, is very interested in ancient America. The Mormon church has written many articles about ancient religions in the Americas.
I had written in a previous chapter that the King Maya (or Mayasura) had come to Mexico with Indians to populate the land. This would be tens of thousands of years ago. (And I will be challenged on this for sure.)
King Maya also brought the temple builders who built the temples in India, Cambodia and Java. The reasoning that King Maya had come to the Americas was because he was an Asura or became an Asura. In a world of good and evil, King Maya was then considered evil and he had to escape from India. He left for the underworld.
Thus, the Mayan culture originates from King Maya (Mayasura) who brought Indians (skilled and non-skilled) to Central America (or also called the underworld.)
Also, King Maya was the father-in-law to the evil King Ravana who kidnapped Rama’s wife Sita!
The Maya calendar system is very similar to the Vedic/Aryan calendar system. The Mayan calendars’ 5th Great Circle began on August 11, 3114 B.C. and the Vedic/Aryan calendars’ Kali Yuga started on February 18, 3102 B.C. This is very very close when considering that the complete calendar cycle of some millions of years is only 12 years off? And we can’t be sure of the unit of measure? Is it solar years? Is it the lunar years?
Note: Reading up on the ancient cultures of India, Sumer and Egypt, I am finding that the underworld where someone goes when they “die” is actually to a far away place and to the south. The underworld or “Hell” is not a mystical place. E.g. Mayasura is written to have migrated to "Patala" (the underworld or southern hemisphere in the Purana texts.)
When you look at the picture above from Guatemala, you will see Rama sitting on the throne with his 3 brothers on one side. The brother closest to Rama is named Laksmana who was by Rama’s side throughout the time of exile with Ram and Sita and who went to war with Rama against the evil King Ravana to rescue Sita, standing proudly closest to King Rama. On the other side are the King’s twin sons Luv (Lava) and Kush (Kusha) with their caretaker, and the guard standing behind them.
Note: There is an extensive carving of the Ramayana war scene in the Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia.
Note: When Swami Krishnanand Saraswati gifted a copy of the Ramayana to Ethiopia's Emperor Haile Selassie, the King surprised him by stating he already knew the story well and that it was already familiar to children in Ethiopia. This familiarity stems from the identification of Ethiopia as the "Kushadweep" (land of Kush) in ancient Indian texts like the Bhagavata Purana, with its people referred to as Kushans.

Artists’ impression of what Piedras Negras would have looked like in its great times
In Piedras Negras, Guatemala, there is an image in stone of a Goddess with eight arms. This Goddess is known as Ashtabhuja. The ruling class in Mexico at the time of conquest by the Spaniards was the Mexicans who worshipped this Goddess Ashtabhuja or locally called Ashtak.
The Spaniards missed pronounced Ashtak to become Aztec! This is how we get the tribe the Aztecs!!!
Note: Aztecs = Ashtak = Eight armed Goddess Ashtabhuja of India in Sanskrit language.
Note: Piedras Negras = Priyadarshan Nagaraj
Priyadarshan = Priya + Darshan = Charming or Good Looking in Sanskrit language.
Nagaraj = Naga + Raja = King of Serpents in Sanskrit language.
The languages of the Aztecs and Mayans are full of Sanskrit words.
Note: Catholic Bishop Landa states that Maya people “…had a very great number of idols and temples which were magnificent in their own fashion and besides the community temples, the lords, priests and leading men also had oratories and idols in their houses where they made their prayers and offerings in private”. (This is similar to India.)
Note: From child-birth to cremation and Sati, the Aztecs observed almost all Hindu rituals including the Gurukula system of education followed in India. The Aztecs rigidly observed the caste systems of India. https://ramanisblog.in/2015/08/08/mexico-aztecs-followed-hinduism-caste-system-upanayana/
Note: Quoting Glyn Daniel from his book ‘The First Civilizations’;
“Within 15 years, between 1519 to 1533, the Western world discovered and brutally destroyed three civilizations – the Aztecs of Mexico, Maya of Yucatan and Guatemala and Inca of Peru.”
This is sad! The Catholic Christian murderers! (With the Pope’s blessings.)
