Estonia is a country which has had many belief systems imposed upon it in the form of 'Catholicism' 'Lutheranism' 'Russian orthodoxy' and 'Soviet atheism' yet once these impositions have peeled away it reveals a country whose true identity is within the land and mother nature.

 

'Maa' is their word for 'land' and this becomes the ancient name for the Estonians which is 'Maarahva' whose meaning is the people ( rahva ) of the land ( maa ) it also becomes 'Maavald' the realm ( vald ) of the land ( maa ) and it becomes 'Maausk' the all pervading presence the Estonians honoured as 'mother earth'.

 

'Maa' whose meaning is 'land' possesses a more expansive meaning which includes the land, the country, the earth and the personality behind it 'mother earth' just as its cognate 'matr' a word from the language of Sanskrit means both 'mother' and 'mother earth'.

 

 

As one passes throughout the countryside of Estonia we find hundreds and hundreds of villages which are known as 'kula' a word from the language of Estonia whose meaning is 'village' and within the language of Sanskrit we also find that 'kula' means 'family' 'community' and 'village'.

 

Villages throughout the countryside of Estonia not only possess the same word as Sanskrit for 'village' they also possess names which are obviously Sanskrit such as 'Indra Kula' 'Hindu Kula' 'Kali Kula' 'Raja Kula' 'Kuru Kula' 'Maha Kula' 'Nava Kula' and many more.

 

According to academics its simply a coincidence that Estonia has the word 'kula' for 'village' and Sanskrit has the same word 'kula' for 'village' and as for the regions of 'Raja Kula' 'Indra Kula' and 'Kali Kula' its nothing more than a random event.

 

 

'Asva' is a word from the language of Sanskrit whose meaning is 'horse' as formed from the root 'asu' whose meaning is that which is 'fast' and this is a prominent word throughout the Vedas where horses were very much central to kings and gods as they performed a sacrifice known as the asva ( horse ) medha ( sacrifice ).

 

'Asva' whose meaning is 'horse' becomes 'Asvini' the twin horse gods of the Vedas which were once worshipped throughout the lands of Lithuania and Latvia as 'Asvieniai' and throughout these lands we find horse motifs upon their rooftops as a reflection of these gods.

 

And of course within the lands of Estonia we find the village of 'Asva Kula' a name which possesses two Sanskrit words as 'kula' means 'village' and 'asva' means 'horse' and if you were to show this name to anyone from India they would never believe it was not Sanskrit.

 

 

'Virumaa' whose name bears the meaning of the land ( maa ) of the brave ( viru ) is a very important region within the land of Estonia as its the home of the 'Vironians' an ancient dynasty who were very much instrumental in the formation of the country of Estonia.

 

'Virumaa' and 'Vironian' are both formed from 'vira' a word from the language of Sanskrit whose meaning is that which is a 'man' that which is 'heroic' and a word which we can also find within 'virile' and 'virtue' whose meanings are also 'manly' and 'heroic'.

 

'Viru" and 'viro' which are found within the names of 'Virumaa' and 'Vironia' have nothing to do with the language of Estonia and are simply words from the language of Sanskrit which have most probably passed through the language of the Norse who themselves are very much related to the language of Sanskrit.

 

 

'Saare maa" is the largest island within the country of Estonia where its name means the land ( maa ) of islands ( saare ) and upon this island we find 'Puha Kula' whose name means the holy ( puha ) village ( kula ) and the blessed ( puha ) village ( kula ).

 

'Puha' is an ancient term which refers to the land, the forests, the trees, sacred groves, rivers, lakes, springs, it includes offerings to the ancestors, offerings to the nature spirits, offerings which are known within the Vedas by a similar word such as 'puja' whose meaning is that which produces ( ja ) purity ( pu ).

 

'Puha Kula' is the home of 'Puha Mets' whose name means the sacred ( puha ) forest ( mets ) and within this sacred forest we find the lake of 'Kaali' which was created some 7500 years ago when a meteorite crashed and created a hundred metre lake which they called 'Kaali' a name we also find in the Vedas which describes the universal mother.

 

 

'Raja' whose meaning is 'king' is a word which is universally related to the lands of India, yet throughout the lands of Estonia we find at least four villages which are named 'Raja Kula' and once again a man from India would never accept that this was not Sanskrit.

 

'Raja Kula' can be found within the county of 'Jogevamaa' it can also be found within the county of 'Viljandimaa' it can be found within the county of 'Ida Varumaa' and we can also find the name of 'Raja Kula' within the county of 'Laane Varumaa'.

 

As we find the word 'Raja' being used within the names of villages throughout the lands of Estonia we also come across the village of 'Rani Kula' which is also quite interesting as within the language of Sanskrit we find that 'Rani' is a word whose meaning is 'queen'.

 

 

 

As a native of the country of India it would be quite a shock to travel through the lands of Estonia and discover a village named 'Ramma Kula' but then imagine if as you continued your journey you came upon a village named 'Ragu Kula' what would then be your thoughts.

You would most probably smile and laugh at the coincidence but how would you then react after passing through the village of 'Kusalu Kula' and then later on as you travelled through one of the islands of Estonia you came across 'Lavasaare' whose meaning is the 'island ( saare ) of lava'.

To be fair these place names are not necessarily grouped together and they come from a list of maybe two thousand village names, however unless there is a simple explanation for this we must conclude that a country whose villages are called 'kula' have a relationship with Vedic India, especially when those villages are named Raja Kula, Indra Kula, Kali Kula, Hindu Kula, Ramma Kula, Ragu Kula, Sihva Kula, Nava Kula, Rani Kula, Tapa Kula, Valgu Kula, Upa Kula, Saksi Kula, Puna Kula, Sadu Kula, Raasa Kula, Saka Kula, Kuru Kula, Maha Kula, Marga Kula and many, many more.
