Sage Agasthya

In tamilnadu and all across India. we would encounter Sage Agasthya in many mythologies and history. These rishis should be belonging to the same agasthya order as most rishi clans in ancient india were disciple or hereditary clans. A rishi order or gothra is a school of thought of a person than the same person across varied times.

In history and mythology, there were many Sage Agasthiyars, namely, in kumari naadu, there was Muthur Agasthiyar, Agasthya who defeated Villavan and Vatapi, Agasthya who cretaed the tamil sangam in Pothigai Malai, Agasthyar who succeeded Muruga Vel ( King Muruga or Kumara Pandian) in Kumari kandam in rewriting tamil grammar, Agasthya who brought kaveri in his Kamandalam (Jug) from mythology, he who cursed Pandiyan King Indraduyman as an elephant, he who taught King Rama the poetic verse of Aditya Hrdayam and made him understand his soul power to kill Ravana, he who drank the sea as per mythology. All these personalities cannot be the same person who lived for thousands of years. They were rishis belonging to the same school of thought who were called with same guru peeta surname like its used now in India.
