Course XXIII - Teaching 3: The Return of the Sons of Manu

The ten tribes, lead by the ten Sages, took from these Sages their names.
The tribe of Marichi remained in the Tibet.
Tribes of Atri, Pulatya and Pulaka settled in different parts of Mongolia.
Tribes of Agryas, Kardama and Dakcha populated the Chinese Turkestan.
Vashishia’s Tribe entered the Russian Turkestan.
Bhrigu’s Tribe settled in Afghanistan, and Narada’s in Kashmir.
This dispersion of Aryan-Aryan migrations was slow, and thousands of years had to pass before these Tribes were settled in the above mentioned lands.
During these millennia, these men changed entirely and definitely; their sense of smell developed, their stature diminished and the color of their skin became clearer, as well as the color of their hair, especially in those of Vashishia’s Tribe. Also the color of their eyes changed.
They had lived for centuries in the snow. They had to fight against famine and cold, and to conquer the earth, forcing it inch by inch. So they learnt to love the earth.
The treasure of their lives was sleeping under a white sheet; and this was the first symbol of their Divinity; the White Goddess, the sleeping Mother, Nature hiding her treasures.
After the above mentioned glacial era of the migration period, seasons became milder; the Earth, by becoming dry and wrinkled, formed large plies, which were natural barriers between one people and another.
Language changed. The Arypal was only preserved by Marichi’s Tribe as priestly language –very changed and called Zenzar.
The other tribes spoke different languages, whose only memory is Sanskrit.
If Tribes separated definitely, they maintained however a common cult: the adoration of fire and worship of Nature.
The divine and human worship was already infiltrated into them.
The worship of fire –a fire that so painstakingly they had to get– would recall them, like in a dream, their origins and the warm country from which their ancestors migrated, where volcanoes in eruption vomited fire and forest would burn for months when they were devastated by all-devouring fires.
Also, the memory of Manu Vaivasvata, the old giant with swarthy face who took the fire in his hands, would recall them their divine origins.
From the beginning, these peoples constantly waged wars, and we can say finally four Tribes won: the Tribes of Marichi, Atri, Vashishia and Narada.
But Naradas’s tribe prevailed, extended all over India, and conquered the inhabitants of Afghanistan, of Bhrigu’s Tribe, and waged war against the Tribe of Atri, which had appropriated the North.
But it had another glorious destiny: that of conquering again the land from which they had gone out.
