Beautiful! The Puranas tell us that Sri Agastya has travelled to the South-East Asian region. This is confirmed by the fact that Agastya has had a cult of his own in this region and was worshipped like the major deities, Siva and Vishnu. Also, historical sources record how Agastya Brahmanas did cross the ocean to spread the wonderful Dharma to Suvarnadvipa (Sumatra) and Yavadvipa (Java).
I pray to the Devas Pitrus, Rishis and the Parabrahma Swaroopam, Our Acharyas that the people of this great Desa would wake up to their ancestral heritage and leave the Abrahma Matam (Godless faith) and embrace the Arya Dharma their forefathers had practiced.Do read the following books for greater detail of this wonderful hindu history in S.E. Asia.
