THE FIRST VAISHNAVA CONQUEST OF KERALA 

You can deliberately obliterate all evidences, but  the collective memory of the community could not be suppressed.  They are handed down from generation to generation and still exist as myths and legends and festivals of Kerala. 

 The biggest festival of  Kerala is “Onam” which is associated with the myth of Vamana.   It tell the story of how Vishnu (the god of Vaishanavites) defeated the Asura King Mahabali and pushed him down to the lower most part of the World – Kerala. This.  I believe tells the root story of how the  Chola and Pandya areas of the Christian Kingdom of Mahabali was ripped off and taken over my the Pallavas..

Onam Celebrates the Christian Rule of Kerala

The Festival of Onam
celebrates the
 “Rule of the Great Sacrifice”

the Christian Commune of Kerala.

It was destroyed by the deceit of Vishnu of Vaishanavite

The name Mahabali literally means the Great Sacrifice.(Maha = Great; Bali = Sacrifice) This epithet does not fit any other person other than Christ.  It probably was a name for Christian Kings or the general epithet for Christians in India.  It is actually strange that the story is kept still as a legend and myth,  in spite of the fact it shows how Vishnu, the great and mighty god of Vaishanvites,  had to resort to deception and trickery to kill a King who is described only in superlative terms even in their own Puranas.  This cannot be explained in any other terms other than as a story of how Brahmin (Iran - Aryan) dominated Vaishnavism tried to destroy Christianity in South India.  Silk route brought in Manichaen missions first into Northern India and it fell victim to the heresy.  When Christianity became powerful in South India, the Northern heretics resorted to trickery. 

This identification of Mahabali with Christ or Christians is also supported by pre-cosmic myth of Palaazhi Mathanam (the story of churning of the cosmic milky way to separate the good from the evil.) in which Mahabali was killed and was brought back to life.  Here the subtle implication of the sacrifice, death and resurrection of Mahabali is implied.

Mahatma Phule sees this story as an attempt by the Aryans to dominate the rest of India:

“Slavery”

by

Mahatma Jotirao Govindrao Phule.

The chapter :`Baliraja'

 

“Baliraja's kingdom,  extended  from Maharashtra to Srilanka and northwards to Ayodhya and Benares. It was attacked by the Dwija (Aryan), Vamana.  Dalit kings such as Hiranyakashyapu had also been attacked by Dwija kings as a racial battle for power zigzagged across the subcontinent.  The story of Prahlada is then interpreted as that of the son of the royal Hiranyakashayapu dynasty being subtly influenced by the Machiavellian Dwija, Narasimha, to become a collaborator of an `invasive' hegemonic discourse..”

Mahatma Jyotirao Phule (1827 – 1890) was an activist and social reformer from Maharashtra, critical of caste relations in Western India and noted for his work in the upliftment of widows and the lower castes in India.

The Period of the King of the Great Sacrifice 
When Maha Bali Ruled.

Onam is the only festival which Christians celebrate in common with Hindus
– it is the only festival which is celebrated together even by the outcastes, untouchables and the high castes.

Here is a song which we have been singing through generations during the Onam festival.:

"Maveli Nadu Vanidum Kalam   
Manusharellarum Onnupole   
Amodathode vasikum kalam   
apathangarkumottilla thanum   
Adhikal Vyadhikal Onnumilla 
Bala maranangal Kelkanilla   
Kallavumilla Chathivumilla
Ellolamilla Poli Vachanam
Kallaparyum Cheru Nazhiyum
Kallatharangal mattonumilla” 
 

It translates as:

' When Maveli, our King, ruled the land,
All the people were as One.
And people live joyful and merry;
They were all  free from harm.

There was neither anxiety nor sickness,
Death of the children were never even heard of,

There were no lies,

 There is neither theft nor deceit,
And no one is false in speech either.
Measures and weights were right;
No one cheated or wronged  their  neighbor.
When Maveli, our King, ruled the land,
All the peoples formed one casteless race.'

The Onam festival lasts for ten-days and falls during the harvest season.   It is celebrated with much pomp and gaiety. People decorate their yards with carpets of  fresh flowers called 'Pookalam' to welcome the King Mahabali. They wear new dresses and perform communal dances such as Thiruvathirakali and Thumbi Tullal.   Thiuruvonam the climax comes on the fourth day of Onam when sumptuous meals are eaten with the whole family sitting together along with those who are less fortunate.  The ten days are meant for feasting, singing, dancing and making merry with friends family and neighbors. The whole community come together for floral decorations, elephant processions, dance performances, classical and folk music recitals, cultural pageants  and water carnivals 

 A veritable Kingdom of God in the fashion of the early Christian community in Jerusalem was in existence under the Christian Kingdom of Maha Bali.  If we can trust the archeology, it lasted until at least sixth or even to the eighth Century AD.  These periods were totally blacked out from history by destroying documents and they survive only in the memory of the community as legends and myth.

 Mahabali was a Christian King; and may be dated before 6th century.  This Kingdom was at least partially destroyed by deceit by the entry of heresy.  In this conquest all territories except Kerala was lost to the Christians.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mahabali, the Asura King

Hindu Puranas describe Mahabali as an Asura King.  Here is what Madame Blavatsky the great Theosophist Gnostic has to say about the meaning of Asura.

“Mahabali was an Asura King who was defeated by the Suras by trick.  In the Rig-Veda, the Asuras are shown as spiritual, divine beings.  Their etymology is derived from asu (breath), the "Breath of God," thus, Asuras are those who were created by the breath of God, who has the Holy Spirit within them.

The South Indian
Asura community were those
“who were born of
the breath of God”

“The Great Sacrifice”
was the Asura King who conquered the three worlds

It is later on, after Brahminic domination, they are shown issuing from Brahma's thigh, and that their name began to be derived from “a”, primitive, and sura, god (solar deities), which is interpreted as “not-a-god.”

(Madame H. P. Blavatsky in `The Secret Doctrine', II, 59

 Blaviatsky was the originator of theosophy.)

In fact the Puranas give the whole genealogy of Mahabali which is very interesting and instructive.

It is on the basis of such vast associations and puranas that I presume that Mahabali was indeed a Christian King, or the generic name for “Christians”, whose Kingdom covered the whole three worlds.  What are these three worlds?  Were they the three Dravidian Kingdoms of Chola, Chera and Pandya?  Were they the whole of south, middle and north Indias? Were they the whole world or cosmos?

If this conjecture is correct, then the stories of the Boar incarnation and Lion-man incarnation of Vishnu tells the story of how the generations of the Christians before Mahabali were driven out from Northern India.   This is exactly what we find in terms of geography and order of Vishnu’s incarnation.
