      Bagan is the place , the well known prestigious, religious  one and one of the historic World heritage sites of UNESCO lately, prevailing the image of ancient Myanmar people and it's devotion to Buddhism and where the Ananda Pagoda is located. Bagan is also the image of  ancient Myanmar architectural design and represent the culture of Royal Dynasty of Bagan encompassing the interesting Grand History of Myanmar People. Talking about the history of Ananda Pagoda, there come the Great Hero of Bagan Era, King Kyansitthar, who is the founder of the Ananda Pagoda.

King Kyansitthar

              He is one of the greatest warrior of Ancient Myanmar History and also recognised as one of the four Heroes of Bagan Era and became King as a predessor of King Anawrahtar, the Great founder and emperor of the Myanmar Country. 
   
              Why  the King Kyansitthar is almost famous to the people of Myanmar until now is not just bravery and fighting ability but also the power of his almighty.
Also, there is an interesting Love story between King Kyansitthar and princess ManiSandar.

              When Bago was attacked by enemies, King of Bago asked for  reinforcement from Bagan King Anawrahtar. Anawrahtar sent the four Heroes of Bagan,including Kyansitthar, to Bago and enemies were defeated with the help of the
four Heroes. As a matter of gratitude and thanks, Bago King presented his sister as a bride to the King Anawrahtar.On the way back to Bagan,

Kyansisthar and ManiSandar became falling in love with each other. Kyansisthar was arrested for that reason.  When he was brought to King Anawrahtar, the King threw with Araindamar Spear
at him. But the Araindamar Spear missed the target and cut off the rope tied to Kyansisthar. Suddenly , Kyansisthar picked up the Araindamar Spear and then he run away and escaped.

Mythology

  
           As Kyansisthar was searched and tried to get arrested by the King's men, he run away until he reached Sagaing hill from where he jumped out to Mandalay hill passing cross the Ayeyarwaddy River, which width is nearly half a mile. Hence, you can also find the footprint of Kyansisthar and a small hole nearby made by the Araindamar Spear until now in Mandalay Hill. It was impossible for someone to cross the Ayeyarwaddy river whilst Kyansisthar did it.

Amazing Gravity Defying Golden Rock (Kyaik Htee Yoe)

 Amazing Gravity Defying Golden Rock (Kyaik Htee Yoe)

Golden Rock

    

     The Golden Rock is situated near Kyaik Hto, Mon State,Myanmar.  No wonder It is one of the most sacred Buddhist Pilgrimage Site and  is extremely heart touching serenity, holy and the priceless jewel to the people of Myanmar. It is the second most visited Pagoda after Shwedagon Pagoda.

   
       Location is isolated and almost far from the town. You need to walk nearly 6 hours to get there by foot from the Base Camp Kimpun. Now, transportation become easy with Cars and Cable to the mountain top.

A Brief Description

               A hair relic of Buddha is embedded in this Golden Rock and it is the main reason for Buddhist to pay homage to the Pagoda. The extremely large Golden Rock is located on the verge of the mountain top seemingly ready to fall down from the cliff of the mountain top to the bottom of the mountain. But to the wonder of everybody, it never did happen over  a long period of time and it rotated fully almost 360 degree  said by the survey of geologists. As for me, the position of the Golden Rock is extraordinary and hard to find the answer scientifically why the Rock does not  fall down to the ground from such a dangerous position with so much weight load.
Everybody of Myanmar including me believe that it is because of the power of the Hair of Buddha enshrined in the Golden Rock proving extraordinary and extra phenomenal.
    
   Come and visit to Kyaik Htee Yoe
if you have opportunities to come to  Myanmar to sight see the extraordinary Pagoda.

The contact area of the golden rock and the edge of the boulder is relatively too small definitely defying gravity.

Magnificent Shwedagon Pagoda.

   SHWEDAGON  PAGODA

Shwedagon Pagoda is located in Yangon, Myanmar.
   
           It is a grandeur and pride of Myanmar mainly because of Gautama Buddha's hair relics and also the relics of the previous four Buddhas    enshrined underneath.

     It is not only sacred but also holy, magnificent, golden, powerful and also priceless to the people of Myanmar. It is my great honour to present this.



A Brief History

      Shwedagon Pagoda is constructed 2600 years ago by King Oakkalapa with the help of the two merchants who carried the hair relics of Buddha from India to Myanmar. According to the traditional legend, the Pagoda is built by the King and The Indra, the father of King. It is an interesting story between the King's father and mother. The King Oakkalapa mother is born out of a fruit named Lamu and then she is raised by a hermit by dropping milk from his fingers to feed her because she was born out of the fruit and so she has no parents to raise her. The hermit look after her and  when she grow up and become very beautiful , the Indra, being the King of Heaven, become falling in love with her and met with her. When the King Indra returned to heaven, princess Mel Lamu ,her name was given Mel Lamu because she was born out of Lamu fruit, missed him a lot. After knowing that the King Indra sent the divine water to Mel Lamu from heaven with the help of divine crow. When the Queens of the King Indra knew about that, they transformed their self into eagles and attacked the crow. So some divine water splashed into the river and drank by a female crocodile giving birth to the Mighty crocodile Nga  Moe Yeik. You can still find Nga Moe Yeik creek,named after the mighty Nga Moe Yeik, now in Yangon. After drinking the divine water sent from the King Indra, Mel lamu gave birth to King Oakkalapa. When building the Shwedagon Pagoda, the King Indra helped great assist in completing the Pagoda so that you can now find the statue of the King Indra in Shwedagon Pagoda.
Whether the above story is true or not, there are the evidences proving the existence of King Oakkalapa and his mother Mel Lamu can be seen even until today.
Finally, the great founders of the Pagoda are King Oakkalapa, the Indra King, the King of Heaven, and the two merchants brothers.
