MALDIVES ANCESTORS

In antiquity the sovereigns of the Maldives were mainly Queens and it was a Buddhist King that sold his people out to Islam. That meant that all of the people of the Maldives had to convert to Sunni Islam due to the decision of one man. This was an enforced conversion not a pleasant one, nor was it with the consent of the people of the Maldives. The will of the people of the Maldives was crushed and their Buddhist hearts were shattered. It was only the beauty of the land and their connection to India and its Spirit that kept them going.

There is a touching and moving story of how the natives had buried a statue of Buddha and there is also some drawings of the woman and the lotus flower. Apparently the Buddhist sites have not been protected since they were excavated and some of them have been vandalized. [1]

In this picture clearly the woman had been thrown into the sea and it looks like a prophecy that relates to what is happening now in the Maldives. However, there is also an ancient prophecy about the Maldives, that the end of the Maldives would come when it is taken by the sea. They did experience a great deal of devastation in 2004 due to the Asian tsunami. That was certainly a warning to Islam due to it also being a prophecy for the last days of the end times in the book of Matthew. However, as we have stated before, none of the Islands are safe places to be in this timeline. Although the Maldives does appear to be equipped for rescue.

The giant jelly fish is also a key symbol, especially due to the jellyfish activity with the nuclear reactors in 2010 and 2011. Wiki claim that this picture is about Hindu folklore. However, I have to agree to disagree. Here is a link to their original flag/s the research was done by a Spaniard. [3] Its a good link about the Maldives with lots of research that appears to be complied by a man that lives in New Zealand.  [4]

In this picture it looks like a Pelican that comes to help them. See our previous post on the Pelican posted before Christmas and so it is fitting to also post the bust of the the Lute of Lovingkindness that was found in Hadda, did he visit the Maldives? Or did he send one of his followers to help them? You will also notice that the hair is on the side on the head of the woman in the picture, it also matches the other bust that was found in the ancient Greco-Buddhist city. You will notice that in the second picture there are five in the sea and this is a five year.




This is titled the 'Maldivian Tara', it is an etching on coral stone from the 9th century. 
Interesting that when I was involved in antiques I used to wear and sell antique coral. 
I was always drawn to the coral at that time. 


It is written that in 1989, the Dalai Lama said "There is a true feminist movement in Buddhism that relates to the goddess Tārā. Following her cultivation of bodhicitta, the bodhisattva's motivation, she looked upon the situation of those striving towards full awakening and she felt that there were too few people who attained Buddhahood as women. So she vowed, "I have developed bodhicitta as a woman. For all my lifetimes along the path I vow to be born as a woman, and in my final lifetime when I attain Buddhahood, then, too, I will be a woman."

Love beyond measure children of the Maldives. 

May you all blossom into Lotus flowers and walk the healing path to enlightenment.

Since Koimala's reign, the Maldive throne was also known as the Singaasana (Lion Throne).

Not good news, Maldives 'coup' inflames tensions. Young new leader that was the first democratically elected president. He as been held at gunpoint during Tuesday's "coup". Looks like the hard liners have taken over. You can be sure that Saudi is behind it.
