Hiranyanpura - The Land of Hiranyaksha - In Ancient Iran !!
Hiranyapura was an exceptionally spectacular floating celestial sky-city of Hiranyaksha, the powerful Asura king. Hiranyapura - means city of Gold, it was full of gold , precious gems and rare minerals, protected by descendants of Asura kings. It was surrounded by tower shaped gates and four entrances. It was treasure city and served as an abode for Yakshas, Asuras, Danavas and Daiteyas . The city was covered with all type of gemstones.

The Asura king Hiranyaksha, did severe austerities for several years and got a boon from Brahma that his sons should not be killed by devas, nagas and rakshas. Also, Hiranyanpura, the floating city was given as a boon from Lord Brahma to Hiranyaksha. This made Asuras equal and powerful to devas.
Like Indraloka in heaven - an abode of Devas,
Hiranyapura, a sky city - an abode of Asuras.
Not able to believe ???
Nobody believed Vimana, until Airplanes were invented !!
Nobody believed in Navagraha, until 9 planets are identified by scientists !!
Nobody believed in Kauravas birth from ghee pots, until IVF (also test tube babies) was invented !!
Nobody believed in Sanjaya's boon for watching Mahabharata war at palace, until Wireless live streaming was made possible !!
Indians were much knowledged and advanced in science, technology, astronomy, astrology, arts etc !! All the foreign websites in the world are trying to put the Hinduism and Sanatana Dharma in the later period of history and not before 4100 BCE, not before their big bang theory. Changes are happening in the society now, people are waking up, realizing about the true intension of paid news by the paid medias and false historical information of funded websites.
Now, coming back to the topic about Hiranyapura, this city was roaming majestically in the sky and demons who lived in that place were happy. The asuras never respected Indra and other devas. Actually asuras and devas were cousin brothers. Sage Kasyapa was the father of Asuras and Devas.
Hiranyaksha was the first, powerful and oppressive demon who walked on this earth. He was too tall, muscular, strong and aggressive that he was looking like a huge golden mountain. He wore golden anklets, golden belt, golden bracelets and golden bands on his arms, several golden chains with rubies, emerald, diamonds on his chest, a big golden crown on his head. The earth trembles upon when he takes every step on the earth.
Hiranyaksha means - golden eyed, this ferocious asura attacked heaven, devas and all the three worlds. Also tried to destroy the mother earth by sinking it under the cosmic ocean. Lord Vishnu took his third avatar called 'Varaha Avatar' - form of wild boar, to rescue mother earth.

Varaha - the third avatar of Lord Vishnu killed the demon Hiranyaksha, retrieved the earth from the ocean, by lifting the earth on his tusks and placed the earth to her place in the universe.

Hiranyaksha's brother was Hirayakashipu and Holika was his sister. After the death of his elder brother Hiranyaksha by lord vishnu, Hiranyakashipu started to develop hatred towards lord vishnu. He decided to kill vishnu by gaining more magical powers, by doing severe penance to please lord brahma. Though he got boons from Brahma, he was killed by fourth avatar of lord vishnu, that is Narasimha avatar, to save his great devote Prahalad. Prahalad was the son of Hiranyakashipu.

All these wicked asuras who tried to harm Earth, people and devas were killed by consecutive avatars of Lord Vishnu.
Now, how Hiranyapura is related to ancient Iran ??
Iran was the recent name, this country was called as Persia in the ancient times. True !!, the whole Persian countries (Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Azerbaijan) were called as 'Persia'. Like we have many regional / divisional (state) / geographical names in Akand Bharat such as Tamizhakam, Virat, Vanga, Panchala, Sindhu etc, there are also geographical divisions in Persia in ancient times. One such division is Iran.
According to scholars, the name Iran derives from middle persian 'Eran' (ērān) - Land of Aryans, it was first attested in ancient rock reliefs of iran. Eran - denotes people in the land rather than an empire. Ihis inscriptional use of ērān to refer to the Iranian peoples, the use of ērān to refer to the empire (and the antonym anērān - refers to the Roman and non Iran territories) is also attested in the early Sassanid period. Both ērān and anērān appear in 3rd century calendrical text written by Prophet Mani.
But, Is it the actual meaning of Iran / Eran ??
Will get the answer, when we look through tamizh, Iran is tamizh word - root word is - Iraniyan / Eraniyan.
Following are the proving facts for the Iran, being a tamizh name.
A. What is meant by Iraniyan ?
In tamizh, there is no 'ha' letter and sound. Hiranyaksha, the first asura king was pronounced as 'Iranyaksha' , with no 'ha' sound. The people and descendants of hiranyanksha was called as 'Iranniyar' - meaning - clan of hiranyas - were born to Diti and sage Kashyapa. So, Iraniyan - means clan of hiranyas / Iranyas. The asuras, daiteyas and yakshas ruled ancient Iran.
What is the meaning of the Iran in Persian and English?? No proper meaning for it. Tamizh was the language spoke by devas, asuras, danavas, daiteyas, manavas and everyone in the world and so got a proper meaning of Iran through tamizh / tamil and Iran was named in tamizh.
This is the reason that current Iran is now called as 'Iran'/ 'Eran', in the name of Hirayaksha, in a proper tamizh pronunciation.
B. Gobekli Tepe, Turkey
Another strong reason to say Iran was land of Hiranyanska is, the stone sculpture found in the world's oldest ancient temple at Gobekli Tepe in Turkey.
There was a stone sculpture of Wild boar, in 10,000 years old Gobekli tepe, which was considered as first temple.

This wild boar denotes the Varaha Avatar of Lord Vishnu, who killed the demon king Hiranyaksha and rescued mother Earth. When you look at the picture closely, there is one circular hole above the tusks of boar, representing earth being lifted on the tusks (the details of the hole may be lost in this period of time / during excavation).
C. Ahura Mazda - Iranian God
In Iran, Ahura Mazda (similar to Asura) was worshiped as God and he considered as the highest deity of Zoroastrianism. Daevas (similar to devas) were considered as bad gods and they were enemy of Ahura mazda. This is also proving that ancient Iran (Hiranyapura), was the land of asuras.
Also, there are many places in Iran named after asuras in Tamizh such as
'Suran' - Lord Muruga killed an asura called 'Suran' / 'Surapadman', Suran is a proper tamizh name.
Ghamsar and Kamazan - Asura Ghamsar / Kamsan killed by Lord Krishna in Dwapara yuga. In Sanskrit / hindi, Kamsan is called as 'Kamsa' / 'Kansa', the suffix 'an' (Singular) and 'ar' (Singular with respect) is used only in tamizh and these places in Iran was named after Asuras in a proper tamizh name.
Why these places are named in tamizh ??
D. Eran - ancient site at Madhya pradesh
Eran, is an ancient archaeological site in Madhya pradesh, where Lord Varaha had killed hiranyaksha and it was named after him. The most remarkable temple of Lord Vishnu represented in the form Varaha avatar is situated here. Usually, in all temples varaha avatar was represented as man - boar form. Like the picture below.

But, in this temple at Eran, Lord vishnu's varaha avatar was represented unusually, as a theriomorphic representation. That is, mythological ability to metamorphose into other animals by means of shape shifting, i.e Lord Vishnu depicted only in animal form
 |
| Varaha Avatar at Eran |
The boar was made out of stone and has many intricate carvings in it such as mother goddess hanging on the right side of it's tusk, inscriptions around the neck of the boar and many other details. There was inscription erected in honor of the deity Vishnu at the neck of his avatar, Varaha.
Also, bronze eran coins of 3rd century BCE were found at Sulur, Coimbatore district of Tamil Nadu.
Why it has to be named as Eran ? As per sanskrit, it could have been named as Hiran or Hiranyika etc, why there was no 'ha' syllable ??
It is now proved that eran / iran was in tamizh and not in sanskrit. It is also proving another point that tamizh was the national language of Akand Bharat. Ancient tamizh language (tamizhi / damizhi) is older then sanskrit, it is the oldest language in the dravidian language family and people all around the Akand bharat knew tamil and they have spoken in tamil.
This is how ancient Hiranyapura is now called as 'Iran' and tamizh was spoken by people of Iran, Iraq, Turkey and Syria. My next post will reveal the details about tamizh kings who have ruled Iran and many hidden information about the tamil roots in the persian gulf.
