Avatar (Movie) is Hindu mythology



 AVATAR    James Cameron's movie



Avatar: James Cameron’s world famous movie.
Concept is totally Hindu mythology and presented in modern understanding science, in a practically possible way.

“Avatar” word is in Sanskrit language and its meaning in English is Reincarnation.


I was so impressed about Avatar movie for its technology, story concept, name of places, size of the tree, physic of the humanoids, animation technique, herbs and shrubs of the land, food and liquid they intake.
I was continuously thinking how such a great imagination might have come to director’s mind.

As I am basically research professional, if anything new comes to my mind, I will try to search its roots. My belief is (restricted to myself, interested people can believe this) “whatever we think it will be there in this universe, if not it will manifest according to force generated by the mind for that thought.”  For bigger creation bigger consciousness is required like mind has a conscious to create something in one’s life.

  
I searched some of ancient Hindu texts, and then I found that inspiration for this is, Brahmand Puran (BP) and Vishnu Puran (VP) about 10 reincarnation of Hindu god (Vishnu).



With this mainly I classified two divisions in the movie; one is hardware and another is software.


Hardware is place or planet and software is story concept.


Story concept is mainly reincarnation as in Vishnu Puran (VP), and hardware is mainly from Brahmand Puran (BP) or SrimadBhagvatam (SB) 5th canto (which narrates about the grand structure of the universe with exact dimensions of vertical and horizontal measures)


About human physic also explained in these texts with clear height and complaction. In movie blue complaction is used because most of the Hindu god complaction is blue (it is the color of space).

  
As per Hindu mythology god has reincarnated 10 times as below.

 (Matsya,, Kurma, Varaha, Narasimha, Vamana, Parashurama, Rama, Krishna, Gautama Buddha, Kalki) and  out of which one is Naraasimha avatar. In this avatar physic is lion man, Avatar movie is based on this.







  
Comparison: - 1

 In Avatar, physic has been selected as per Narasimha.
(Nara= Human. Simha=lion) one can check thoroughly in the below pictures eye, nose, ear and tail. Only difference is in hair, lion’s staggered and Avatar’s (humanoid) plait.

                                                               Narasimha            
Blue color is as per Hindu ancient texts, it is the color of Space.
If you closely observe the faces of the humanoid you will find some white dots. These are like stars are shining in the blue sky.

About big tree: there is explanation of different trees in different varhsa’s (continents) out of seven Iceland and seven sees (concentric).

 (Here we will consider only Jambhudweep= central Iceland consists of 9 Varsha’s)



          Pandora Planet tree             Tree on Jambhudweep (symbolic)










Here I have shown Pandora big tree in movie and just symbolic tree on Jambhudweep.

The tree explained in Jambhudweep (BP) has fruits of Jambulan plums of size elephant on earth; with this one can imagine the size of the tree. Importance and use of these fruits explained in next comparison.

 Comparison: - 3



             Fruit in movie                                        Jambolan plum


 About fruit, the humanoid is eating purple color fruit. But in the Jumbhudweep’s tree it has the same color fruits called Jambolan plum.  Size of the fruits is like big elephants.

After falling of these fruits on the hill breaks into juices and flow like river. This juice makes sand wet in the bank of the river while flowing, wet sand will react with sunlight and convert into gold. This gold will be used by Demigods (Angels) in heaven for their ornaments.

Exact size of the fruit can’t be shown, that’s why jambolan fruit on this earth is shown.

About Dandelion attraction:  in universe pure soul will attract anything invisibly but to present to the viewer in move it has been shown that dandelions’ are attracting.


                                                          Cosmic energy flow for pure soul




One who meditates his soul will become pure and perfect. Once it is perfect then it will attract good thing and good work.

 Comparison: - 5


Software transfer technique: In ancient texts one has to translate his knowledge (feelings) to others by means of mind to mind transfer by bestowing or transferring through his holy palms.
In movie if it shows with this technique modern world won’t believes here directors intellect mind worked very advance he used direct one to one connection by hair plait.

 God is using Garud (Name of huge bird or giant eagle) as his Vahan (Transport vehicle). Same concept has been used in Avatar Movie also.

God using this bird to groom whole universe where as in movie only to groom Pandora planet and near by hanging hills which are connected to that planet.
            

  
Comparison: - 7


Animals: Horses dogs and different types of animals are shown with 6 legs. here logic can’t be understand why front side two why not back side two, where actually load will be more.(as we can see in dual axle trucks)
 For this in BP there is so much explanation about different species. Eyes legs arms and combination of serpent to human some other form to some other.


 


  
Comparison: - 8

Shot in movie: if you see from Pandora planet you will see the planet earth which humanoids will call sky people (Earthy humans).


Name of the planet Pandora: exactly same name is there in Brahmand Puran but only difference is in movie it is the name for planet and in BP text it is for big hill called Pandora and it is part of one of the seven Iceland’s (Greater earth)

 

  
You must know this:

Brahmand Puran (BP): This is one of the 18 Hindu puranas and mainly narrates about the grand structure of this brahmand (Golden egg).this covers with seven layers of material called wind, fire, water, earth and eather in solidified form. This structure anybody wants to understand clearly with 3Dmodel animation can refer to Dr Richards Thomson’s work “Mysteries of the sacred universe”.

Vishnu Purana(VP): It is also one of the 18 puranas. And narrates mainly about the ten reincarnation of the Lord Vishnu.
