Many theologians and scholars view them as parallel "saviour" archetypes that appear during the "end times" to vanquish evil. [1, 2, 3, 4] Key Similarities The parallels between the two figures are frequently noted in comparative religion studies: [5]

"Vaitaranitara" literally translates from Sanskrit as "one who crosses or helps in crossing the Vaitarani river." It combines Vaitarani (the mythological river of the afterlife) with Tara (from the Sanskrit root tṛ, meaning "to cross" or "to ferry across"). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] The phrase is deeply rooted in Hindu mythology, particularly in the Garuda Purana, which describes the soul's journey after death.

Their story highlights the union of human effort and divine grace, with Nara symbolising the seeker and Narayana the guide. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Two Birds story-re-told by Swami Vivekananda

One part is divine in nature, the other part is an ordinary man's character. If you follow the divine quality, you become a great person.

Among these, the Tartaria tablets were discovered in Romania in 1961. This makes them potentially older than the earliest known Mesopotamian or Egyptian writing, predating them by more than a thousand years. However, these symbols have not been deciphered so far. Now, my research shows that these symbols look similar to Indus script symbols and have the same meaning as the Indus symbols.

However, I have restricted my discussion in this article only to the issue of scripts used in the Keeladi site; details are as given below: Keezhadi, or Keeladi, is a Sangam period settlement site, where excavations are carried out by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and the Tamil Nadu State Department of Archaeology. This site is located near Keezhadi in Sivaganga district, Tamil Nadu, about 12 km southeast of Madurai. The settlement lies on the bank of the Vaigai River, and it reflects the ancient culture of Tamil Nadu. (1) Epigraphist V. Vedachalam, a domain expert for the excavation, dated the excavated remains between the 6th century BCE and the 3rd century BCE. However, the claimed dating of Tamil-Brahmi potsherd inscriptions to pre-3rd century BCE has been questioned due to a lack of detailed information in the published reports. Because of disturbances in the stratigraphy of the site-with many potsherds retrieved from mixed contexts of an ancient rubbish-dump cut as a large pit into deeper, older layers-making it doubtful whether any Tamil-Brahmi findings were from the same age as the dated charcoal samples, and the site remained occupied till the 1st century CE.

The reference "GMM" refers to the Government Museum, Madurai. The exact place where this artefact was found is not known. This comb-like symbol appears in IVC as well as in Tamil Nadu graffiti. Gurumurthy defines the symbol simply as "Comb". But it is not as simple as that. There is a deeper meaning behind this symbol. I have already determined its value as "Offering" in my earlier book, the "Indus Symbols Dictionary". The exact meaning is also applicable in ancient Tamil Nadu. This "comb" symbol had to be read with other accompanying symbols to understand its true sense.

The graffiti inscription reads the following: Read from right to left. The first symbol indicates the "Thunderbolt," Varuna's weapon. The second symbol indicates the karkida moth offering to Pithrus (Ancestors). The third symbol represents the shield (kedaga). This means an offering was made to Pithrus to protect them in heaven or hell, depending on their karma. At this juncture, I am compelled by instinct to recount an incident. I was working in Trichy in 2017 and went to Srirangam to perform my Pithru karma on the day of Sarvapithri Amavasya, which falls in September (the date varies every year depending on the Amavasya, the new moon Date). It was overcrowded, and I was trapped in the crowd, unable to move in any direction. I returned without offering my respects to my parents. Still, that feeling of failure is lingering within me.
