Ila is the child of Vaivasvata Manu and Shraddha.
Rig-Veda: Manu is warned by a fish about a deluge.
He used the future Manu, the guide and founder of a race, to pick the best Lemurian types.
The Manu tested candidates for many years.
The Manu took the bodies of the seventh Lemurian sub-race, improved in this way, as the nucleus of the first Atlantean sub-race, the Rmoahal.
Then the Manu took incarnation Himself and founded the race through His own family.
This is the book’s own line on what a Manu is (ch.
In the most literal sense the Manu of a Race is its Progenitor, for the whole Race has its Manu as its physical ancestor.
The Manu arranged for groups of egos, or souls, to come in from the Moon Chain.
The Manu then incarnated among the Toltecs and founded the City of the Golden Gates, the first of many cities with that name.
The book adds that the Lemurian Manu had evolved a blue sixth sub-race and a bluish-white seventh, while most Lemurians stayed black.
The Manu moved the colour from blue through purple into red.
The book says its future members were picked out a million years ago by Vaivasvata Manu, the Manu of the fifth Race.
About 1,000,000 years ago: the book reads the statement in The Secret Doctrine, that the fifth Root Race began a million years ago, as the start of the Manu’s choosing.
The Lord Vaivasvata, the Race Manu, picked a few people from a shipload that included the 1,200-year group.
Its religion differed from that of the Toltecs on the plains, and the Manu used this to keep it apart.
79,797 B.C.: to escape rule by the Dark Ruler, the Manu called His people to the coast.
The Manu settled them in the valleys of the Arabian highlands.
The book describes a battle in a crater in which Sirius, the father of Herakles, dies, and the Manu turns the day with reinforcements.
A few years before 75,025 B.C.: the Manu led about seven hundred of His own descendants north.
The Manu’s community of about a thousand fell to about three hundred.
The Manu was ordered to bring His people to the White Island.
Mars, a grandson of the Manu, heads a town.
The Manu had some children sent to Shamballa, among them Uranus and Neptune, Surya, Saturn, Vulcan and Venus.
Saturn married Surya, and the Manu was reborn as their eldest son.
Each time, the Manu and His lieutenants were reborn into the Race.
30,000, a great leader from the East, Theodoros, a man of another race, who after the Aryan conquest of Persia and Mesopotamia, and the establishment of the rule of the Manu over those districts, was sent as Governor by Him, under Corona, His grandson, who succeeded Him as Ruler of Persia.
So do flood figures who start humanity again, such as Manu.
Mars, a grandson of the Manu, was the head of the community, and, with his wife Mercury and his family — among whom were Sirius and Alcyone — lived in a pleasant house, surrounded by a large garden and fine trees.
In Hindu tradition, Vaivasvata Manu is the flood survivor who seeds a new age of humanity after the waters rise.
Who was Vaivasvata Manu?
I start with the Vedic and Puranic trail: his name, his role as Manu of the present age, and the fish that warns him to build a ship.
Manu is the archetypal progenitor and lawgiver of a manvantara.
A manvantara is a cosmic age ruled under one Manu.
The word Manu is linked to the root man-, “to think.” So Manu is not only a flood hero.
In common Hindu framing, Vaivasvata Manu is the solar-line Manu of the present age.
The earliest extended Vedic flood narrative for Manu sits in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa 1.8.1.
In this early account, a fish comes into Manu’s hands while he washes.
It tells Manu to prepare a ship.
Manu ties the ship to the fish’s horn and is carried to the northern mountain.
Manu alone remains.
When the flood rises, Manu ties the rope to the fish’s horn:
The flood then swept away all these creatures, and Manu alone remained here.
Manu is warned, builds a ship, is towed by the fish to a northern mountain, and alone survives the sweep of creatures.
It answers who Vaivasvata Manu is in the early Vedic flood trail: the solitary survivor who restarts humanity after the waters.
The boat often preserves Manu together with the Saptarishi (seven sages), seeds of plants, and pairs of creatures.
The early Vedic story is Manu alone with an unnamed fish and a northern mountain.
Manu and Noah share a pattern.
In Satapatha, Manu alone remains; later tellings add family, sages, and seed.
Manu’s warning comes from a fish (later Vishnu-Matsya).
Manu lands on a northern mountain (later Himalaya/Meru).
After the flood, Manu generates a new race through sacrifice and offspring; Noah’s covenant story runs through Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
On this site, The Fourth Root Race already places Vaivasvata Manu inside a clairvoyant / Besant–Leadbeater style narrative.
In that layer, he is Manu of the Fifth Root Race, selecting stock while Atlantis (the Fourth Root Race) still stands, then leading Fifth Race humanity out.
some of these were ear-marked on their arrival by Vaivasvata Manu — the Manu of the fifth Race — as part of His future materials.
Blavatsky’s The Secret Doctrine volume II pushes the same Manu figure further into her Root-Race scheme:
Now every Brahmin knows that it is only with Vaivasvata Manu that our Humanity began on this Earth (or Round).
Thus, since Vaivasvata Manu’s Humanity appeared on this Earth, there have already been four such axial disturbances; when the old continents — save the first one — were sucked in by the oceans…
What this means: in Theosophy, Vaivasvata Manu is the Fifth Race Manu who preserves humanity when Atlantis (Fourth Race) ends.
It explains why Manu belongs on drumsofatlantis.com.
First, Satapatha Brahmana gives me the earliest clear Manu flood narrative: unnamed fish, ship, northern mountain, Manu alone remaining.
Third, Theosophy reads Vaivasvata Manu as Fifth Race Manu after the Fourth Race / Atlantis flood.
Keeping Vedic text, Puranic expansion, and Theosophical Manu separate keeps the page honest for the who-question and strong for readers who arrive from search.
Who was Vaivasvata Manu?Vaivasvata Manu is the solar-line Manu of the present age in Hindu framing: son of Vivasvan (the Sun), flood progenitor, and lawgiver of a manvantara.
Theosophy reads him as Manu of the Fifth Root Race after Atlantis.
Is Manu Noah?No.
What did Matsya do?In later Puranic tradition, Matsya is Vishnu as a fish who warns Manu and guides the boat.
In Satapatha Brahmana, an unnamed fish saves Manu.
Is Manu linked to Atlantis?In Theosophy, yes: Vaivasvata Manu is Manu of the Fifth Race, linked to the end of the Fourth Race (Atlantis).
Where did the boat land?In Satapatha Brahmana, Manu is carried to the northern mountain; the slope is called “Alarm’s descent” (Manoravasarpana).
Genesis 7: Noah flood spine for the honest Manu–Noah parallel.
Ziusudra’s Flood: Mesopotamian flood survivor as a third witness beside Manu and Noah.

Figures on the same shelf include Anu, Alalu (Earth / gold discoverer in Sitchin-style lists), Poseidon as an Anunnaki father in Matias’s map, and Noah / Manu as flood-survivor neighbors.
On this site the Indo neighbor is Vaivasvata Manu: same motif family, different scripture.
Vaivasvata Manu is the Indo twin: warning, ship, seed of a new age.
As the Mesopotamia-to-Bible flood-survivor spine, soft-linked to Manu, Altai megaflood geology, creation-stories recreation, Dead Sea destruction geography, and the Nephilim antediluvian layer.
