VEDIC TOUR OF OUR UNIVERSE
Come on a 20 minute animated guided tour of our Universe, according to the ancient Vedic text “Srimad Bhagavatam”. Splendid computer generated visuals and narration describe how the ancient mystics perceive our poly-dimensional Universe. The concepts presented here are found in many ancient traditions, yet modern cosmology theories like the “Conscious Universe” the “Holographic Universe” and the “Fractal Universe” are ever moving closer toward the complex Vedic Cosmological Model. Explore what lies beyond the boundaries of our limited vision; the heavenly planets, where angels and demigods reside, the subterranean heavens of sense enjoyment, the different hellish regions, and what lies beyond the universal boundaries of time, space and karma; the kingdom of God and Divine Love.
Disclaimer: Although most of the narration and graphics compiled in this 20 minute video are an accurate rendering of Bhagavata and Puranic Cosmology, the placement of a physical Earth-Globe on the salt ocean is not, from my research, supported by the texts. The globe-model used in the Surya-Siddhanta is a mathematical one, and, by the influence of the 3 modes of Maya-devi, manifests a 4-dimensional sphere of karma, desire, attachment, sacrifice, duty and meaning, which limits the movement of the living entities within the flat but curved lotus of the world we call Earth.

In the late 70’s, the American Cosmologist Carl Sagan looked at Hindu Cosmology and concluded that “by accident” the ancient Vedas describes cycles of creation of enormous length – no other ancient cosmology talked of creation in terms of billions of years. It is indeed a credit to Vedic Cosmology that it declares a day and night of Brahma to last 8.6 billion years. Compare this to the 13.8 billion year estimation by modern science for the age of the universe. One theory of modern cosmology states the universe is created, expands, contracts, and once again reformed in endless cycles, this is identical to the statements of the Vedas and Puranas. It is said the Supreme Being, Vishnu, breathes out the universe at creation, and draws all things back into Himself at dissolution …. until the next exhalation, each lasting an incredible 311 trillion years!
Science has come a long way since 1979. The quest for a Unified Theory has led researchers to the concept of poly-dimensional universes consisting of primordial energy strings. The variegated vibration of which defines all known particles and forces in existence. But do they have any idea how to explain consciousness, life and intelligent design? Modern cosmology ‘String Theory’ begins to approach the Vedic idea that the universe is created by sentient vibration of prakriti, the dormant cosmic energy. For an entertaining explanation of this theory, search Youtube for “The Elegant Universe” (2003) with Brian Greene for his three part documentary on String Theory. Now we have newer theories that require a ‘Multiverse’ of almost infinite number of universes to explain the remarkable physical parameters that allow life to ‘evolve’ here, and yes, the ancient Vedas describe our universe to be one of billions of co-existing universes that emanate from the Cosmic body of Mahavishnu.
What I find interesting is the synthesis of scientific and Vedic cosmology. One pioneer in this field, Dr Richard L. Thompson, who’s interest lied in the sacred texts of ancient India, and the knowledge they possess, is author of the book “Mysteries of the Sacred Universe”. His 50 minute video documentary of the same name, discusses evidence of advanced astronomical knowledge in India’s ancient texts known as the Puranas. He was an authorised student of Vedic Cosmology, being an initiated disciple of the Vedic master Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami, and grand-disciple of the acclaimed Vedic master and Vedic astronomer Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Gosvami. Richard was born in Binghamton, New York, in 1947.
He received his Ph.D. from Cornell University in mathematics, specializing in probability theory and statistical mechanics. He has since done research at the State University of new York at Binghamton, Cambridge in the U.K., and at the Jolla Institute in San Diego. Until his recent demise, he was an active founding member of the Bhaktivedanta Institute, and wrote many papers and books including: Mechanistic and Non-mechanistic Science, UFO Phenomena : Alien Identities, Demonstration by Information Theory that Life cannot arise from Matter, and co-author of Forbidden Archaeology, and, Consciousness -The Missing Link. Despite the fact that this film, and its computer animations, are now 20 years old, Dr Thompson delivers a fascinating and in-depth examination of both traditional and scientific cosmological paradigms.
Sri Krishna - The Creator of All Existence
To the top left of the map is the catur sloki Bhagavatam verse “aham evasam evagre…” proclaiming that before anything else existed there was only Sri Krsna. Therefore, in the center of the map, at the top, is Sri Krsna. On the right of this is the catur sloki Gita verse proclaiming Krsna to be the source of all the spiritual and material worlds “aham sarvasya prabhavo…”. thus all creation has only Sri Krsna as its source. Krsna manifests His svarupa-sakti, His pleasure potency, in the form of Srimati Radharani. Radha and Krsna are one, just as musk and its scent, or fire and heat are non-different, “radha purna sakti krsna purna saktiman…”.
Within the whorl of the lotus of svarupa-sakti to the left, Sriman Mahaprabhu in Svetadvipa (behind Radha and Krsna) is depicted. Krsna and His sakhis are in the center, and to the right is Krsna in the groves with the gopis. In the forefront is Radha and Krsna in Seva Kunja. Svarupa-sakti has three “functions”. They are the function of the sandhini-sakti predominated by Baladeva Prabhu, the samvit-sakti predominated by Sri Krsna Himself, the hladini-sakti predominated by Srimati Radharani.
The left side of the map is colored blue (as it comes from the sandhini-sakti, Baladeva Prabhu). The right side is red all the way to the bottom of the map, showing all the female potencies and bliss (ananda) that manifest from the hladini-sakti, Srimati Radharani. From Baladeva Prabhu (the sandhini-sakti), who exhibits the primary aspects of pure devotional service and bhakti to Sri Krsna, the first Quadrupal Expansion manifests, consisting of Vasudeva (Gokula), Aniruddha (Mathura), Pradyumna (Dvaraka) and Sankarsana. They again manifest the second Quadrupal Expansion as the Vaikuntha realms. From sandhini-sakti (Baladeva Prabhu) emanate the forms of all the nitya-siddha parikaras who perform their eternal pastimes within the cit-jagat (pure spiritual realms).
From the samvit-sakti (Vasudeva) all knowledge of relationships (sambandha-bhavas) is bestowed, and from the hladini-sakti. Srimati Radharani, come all sweet loving pastimes (ananda). Srimati Radharani manifests Her kaya-vyuha (bodily expansions) to please Sri Krsna in Goloka. From Her all bliss, ananda, manifests within madhurya-dhama (the realm of the highest aspects of love and affection), as premananda, sevananda, bhajanananda, harinamananda, Syamananda etc. etc. Mula-Sankarsana (in the first Quadrupal Expansion) manifests the second Quadrupal expansion which creates all the Vaikuntha realms of aisvarya-dhama, where feelings of awe and reverence for Krsna (who manifests there as Lord Narayana) abound.
Again from Baladeva Prabhu (sandhini-sakti, Maha-Sankarsana) all the bodily forms, planets, abodes etc. manifest. Also the three purusa avatars, controlling expansions, who manifest and maintain the jada-jagat, material worlds, namely Karanadakasayi-Visnu, Garbhodakasayi-Visnu and Ksirodakasayi-Visnu. And from the samvit-sakti (Vasudeva Prabhu) all knowledge of relationships is given. From the hladini-sakti, Srimati Radharani, all the billions of Laxmis (goddesses of fortune) manifest along with the bliss of Vaikunthananda (depicted in red).
Residing in the eternal realm of Kailash, immediately below the Vaikuntha planets, is the abode of Sada-Siva, eternal Lord Siva. In fact, it is described that he has a Visnu form and is Visnu-tattva (Brahma-samhita 8), but we have shown him in the map with his well recognized Siva form (this has been modified in the third edition of this map). Sada-Siva is present with his own sakti Parvati who emanates originally from the hladini-sakti.
Below this realm is the light of Krsna’s effulgence which impersonalist jnanis aspire to merge into. This effulgence (brahmajyoti) is manifest from Sri Krsna’s qualities of jnana and vairagya (Jaiva-Dharma, chap.13), which if perceived with impersonal vision appears as nirvisesa (without form), but when experienced by the bhaktas is recognized simply as the effulgence of their sweet Lord. The impersonal bliss experienced in this realm originates again from hladini- sakti, Srimati Radharani, and is known as brahmananda, the bliss of brahma. ‘When this bliss is experienced by Krsna’s bhaktas as His effulgence, it is also known as brahmananda.
The Karana or causal ocean, or Viraja River, is depicted below the brahmajyoti. This marks the boundary between the material and spiritual worlds. Vast and beautiful, its spiritual waters are ornamented with brilliant waves churned by the mighty storms of Krsna’s transcendental effulgence. Here Karanadakasayi-Visnu (or Maha-Visnu) reclines on Ananta-Sesa (Baladeva Prabhu), “from whose skin-pores unlimited universes are drifting like infinitesimal dust particles seen in the sun-rays entering through a window” to make up the entire jada-jagat, the dull or dead worlds. Understanding His mood of compassion for the wayward jivas, Rama-devi (Laxmi’s expansion) carries the jivas along with the time factor (kala) through the glance of Maha-Visnu into the material worlds through the agent of Sambhu Siva and impregnates the pradhana (dead matter) through the womb of Durga-devi (as the adharasakti), which manifests the prakrti (material nature) as a result.
Simultaneously, Garbhodakasayi-Visnu enters every single separate universe, manifested from Karanadakasayi-Visnu, and reclines on an ocean of His own perspiration known as the Garbhodaka-ocean. The jivas. within whom Ksirodakasayi-Visnu (the third purusa avatar) now resides, then proceed to “pierce” the navel of Garbhodakasayi-Visnu (SB 3.8.13) “due to the intensity of their desires to materially enjoy” and a lows flower is produced from whence Lord Brahma appears. Lord Brahma, through the sakti coming from Sri Krsna, then proceeds to manifest the entire material higher, middle and lower planetary systems, of gross and subtle worlds.
This entire realm of maya-sakti (illusory world) or Durga-dhama (prison house) is also known as bahiranga-sakti. This jada-jagat, with all its unlimited universes, objects and bodies etc. originates from the sandhini-sakti (Baladeva Prabhu) in His service to Krsna. From the samvit-sakti (Vasudeva) again is manifested all knowledge, but in this realm it is mundane knowledge (bhautika-jnana). From the hladini-sakti (Srimati Radharani) is coming the bliss of all the enjoyment the jivas experience on the bodily, sensual platform, separate from any spiritual bliss of relating with Radha and Krsna. This is known as dead (jada) pleasure or jadananda. Residing at the bottom of the material universes is Lord Sankarsana and AnantaSesa. in His serpent form, balancing the unlimited universes on His unlimited jeweled hoods. Running down the left side of the map are verse references and on the right side are the actual verses from Brahma-samhita, from where all this information is described. Srimad-Bhagavatam and especially Jaiva-Dharma, also illuminate the same wonderful conclusions.
This is simply a mind-map and there are many variations of how these tattvas could be illustrated. It is offered to the devotees as a preaching tool where many essential truths can be easily referenced. Numerous details have been omitted for the sake of simplicity. In future editions these can be added.

Vedic Cosmology Decoding the 5th Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam
by Gauragopala Dasa, 15 July 2015
Mount Meru is a sacred mountain with five peaks in Vedic cosmology and is considered to be the center of all the physical, metaphysical and spiritual universes. Meru is also called Sumeru (Sanskrit) or Sineru (Pāli) Many famous Hindu and similar Jain as well as Buddhist temples have been built as symbolic representations of this mountain. The highest point (the finial bud) on the pyatthat, a Burmese-style multi-tiered roof, represents Mount Meru.
The dimensions attributed to Mount Meru, all the references to it being as a part of the Cosmic Ocean, along with several statements like that the Sun along with all the planets circle the mountain, make determining its location most difficult, according to most scholars. The Surya Siddhanta mentions that Mt Meru lies in ‘the middle of the Earth’ (“Bhugol-madhya”) in the land of the Jambunad (Jambudvip). Narpatijayacharyā, a 9th-century text, based on mostly unpublished texts of Yāmal Tantr, mentions:
“Sumeruḥ Prithvī-madhye shrūyate drishyate na tu” Sumeru is heard to be in the middle of the Earth, but is not seen there.
Vārāhamihira, in his Panch-siddhāntikā, claims Mt Meru to be at the North Pole (though no mountain exists there as well). Suryasiddhānt, however, mentions a Mt Meru in the middle of Earth, besides a Sumeru and a Kumeru at both the Poles. There exist several versions of Cosmology in existing Hindu texts.
In one of them, cosmologically, the Meru mountain was also described as being surrounded by Mandrachal Mountain to the east, Supasarv Mountain to the west, Kumuda Mountain to the north and Kailash to the south. Sanatana Dharma legends Mount Meru of Hindu traditions has clearly mythical aspects, being described as 84,000 Yojan high (which is around 1,082,000 km (672,000 mi), or 85 times the Earths’s diameter), and having the Sun along with all its planets in the Solar System revolve around it as one unit. One Yojana can be taken to mean about 11.5 km (8 or 9 mi) though its magnitude seems to differ over time periods.
For example, the Earth’s circumference is 3,200 Yojanas according to Vārāhamihira and slightly less so in the Āryabhatiya, but is given to be 5,026.5 Yojanas in the Suryasiddhānta and 1,600 Yojanas in Nārada Purāna. The Matsya Purana and the Bhāgvata Purāna along with some other Hindu texts consistently give the height of 84,000 Yojanas to Mount Meru which translates into 672,000 miles or 1.082 million kilometers. Mount Meru is also the abode of Lord Brahma and the Demi-Gods (Dev).
Understood theologically, the Meru that is in the ‘center of the Earth’ and extends through the North and South Poles is the Axis Mundi of the Earth and ‘Universe ‘ or Cosmos, or the ORDERED visible sky. Thus viewed from the geocentric perspective the cosmos / universe is rotating around the Earth, the axis of which is Meru.
- Cycles Of Cosmic Time
- The Language Of The Gods
- Multi-Dimentional Universes
Sanskrit is the language of the demigods and is also the language of Goloka and Vaikuntha. It is not spoken, it is sung in sweet melodies of selfless love in its pure original form in Goloka-Vrindavana. Sanskrit is passed to the Vaikuntha planets and then to the mahat-tattva (material worlds) where celestial beings sing Sanskrit among the heavenly planets and was the prominent language in the Satya-yuga on this planet also. All the Vedas are written in Sanskrit.
Unfortunately as the ages moved to Treta-yuga then Dvapara-yuga and finally Kali-yuga, not only is Sanskrit becoming more and more ignored, very few are pure enough to chant mantras that can materialize everything from gigantic floating cities to weapons of mass destruction or brahmastras. Also the reason why no architecture is found on this Planet past previous Vedic Societies is because the demigod like people of Satya-yuga, Treta-yuga and the first half of Dvapara-yuga lived in Palaces in the Sky and not on the earthly ground of the planet.
The Treta-yuga was the same and it was only in the ending part of the Dvapara-yuga that some of the celestial beings living in massive empires in the sky venture to the planet’s surface, where various barbaric tribes existed, rarely disturbed by the heavenly beings. The tribes on this planet’s surface evolved up through lower species of material bodies while Celestial beings had devolved down from the material heavenly planets to Satya-yuga the Treta-yuga, then to the Dvapara-yuga and finally meeting at the cross roads of Kali-yuga where Sanskrit begins to become polluted by mundane tribal languages coming from the barbaric uncivilised languages coming from the aborigines on the surface of this planet.
So this planet is made up of those marginal living entities falling down from the material heavenly realms to the mundane material realm at the beginning of Kali-yuga, crossing the paths of those marginal living entities coming up from the evolution on this planet. Both begin to breed with each other at the beginning of Kali-yuga, 5000 years ago. Records of this are written in the histories of all ancient civilisations.
It is also important to understand that one can never reach the material heavenly ethereal worlds in this material universe by ‘gross matters’ technological means like space crafts or ‘Star Trek’ type material imaginings of exploring the material universe. Gross matter cannot measure, perceive, identify subtle ethereal matter, this is why ghosts (subtle ethereal MATERIAL bodies), that are actually all around us, can never be proven to exist with gross matter like cameras, Mobil phones, ex-rays, radio waves infrared, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the Hubble Telescope, The Electron Microscope etc
The only way is performing sacrifice or penance. Austerities, penances, fasting, denying oneself pleasure, giving in charity, philanthropy, giving to the poor, protecting children from emotional, psychological and sexual abuse, encouraging others to reach their full potential, looking after the elderly, helping your fellow man and protecting other species of life from exploitation and murder, building hospitals and Temples and in general making the world a better place etc can elevate one to a higher material realm. Note, even demons know that this is the only way to enter the heavenly worlds, so they also perform these ‘pious’ activities knowing that the gross biological body and its extended material technology, can NEVER take one to higher realms of reality known as the heavenly material planets.
However, in Kali-yuga the recommended sacrifice to get out of the material Universes is chanting Hare Krishna and congregational chanting in every Town and Village. Vaishnavism is following the selfless devotional goal that directs one to reawaken and regain ones original Krishna Consciousness and return home back to Godhead far beyond this material world and the many mundane heavenly worlds surrounding the Earth planet. A Vaishnava has no interest in the gross Earthly Planets or the subtle heavenly planets in this material Universe, they are only interested in serving Krishna and His pure devotees and getting out of the entire material worlds and going back home back to Goloka-Vrindavana The Ramayana describes a Vimana as a double-deck, circular (cylindrical) aircraft with portholes and a dome. It flew with the speed of the wind and gave forth a melodious sound.
Primitive material science of the 21st Century has barely scratched the surface that can only be understood by piety and not mundane knowledge so use you intelligence and start chanting Hare Krishna. Two things are happening simultaneously over millions of years: the living entity is evolving or coming up through the species of life on this planets surface. The living entity is devolving or coming down from a higher celestial material realm.
When the dinosaurs where on the surface of this planet, advanced biological human species had not yet evolved due to the fact that biological evolutionary on the planets surface had not reached that stage of evolution. So where did the advanced higher material beings that existed on this planet in previous yugas, come from?? The mundane scientist today cannot even perceive the ‘subtle world’ which makes up the majority of the material universe, let alone anything spiritual which is only possible for pure devotees of Krishna to know.
The idea that Satya-yuga, Treta-yuga and the earlier parts of Dvapara-yuga, even though on this planet, existed in a higher realm of material reality, distinguished from the mundane evolution going on the surface of the planet, where the soul is evolving through bodily vessels or species until they reach the human species, does make a lot of sense. We find dinosaur bones but no evidence of very highly advanced societies, except a few remnants at the end of Dvapara-yuga.
Images above: Evidence of advanced architecture from the last Yuga, the inexplicable human and dinosaur footprints in ancient rock, Maya Danava, (who flies rockets in the Vedas) is drawn in a Mayan tomb!
Why is that so? The human biological body is the pinnacle of that evolution of the soul that has come up or evolved from the floor of this planet however at the same time there existed higher beings who’s bodily vessels were more ethereal with the ability is fly and live in massive cities in the sky, than biological and gross In this way, as each age became degraded, Satya, Treta, Dvapara and Kali, the more those ethereal vessels becomes encased in biological heaver matter that extinguishes ALL their mystical powers. All species of life on this planet, leads or evolves eventually to the many human species.
These human tribes, coming up through the lower biological species or life, develop their own speculative beliefs in a God when they attain the earthly human primitive body. On the other hand there is Knowledge (Veda) that comes down to this planet from the demigods from the celestial levels of material existence (the sub-space heavenly planets). Even still a part of the material universes, the Veda has been passed down like this to our planet.
The beginning of Kali-yuga is where the human tribes, born from coming up from the lower species and the celestial beings coming down from the heavenly planets, who followed the Vedas, crossed paths. This was only possible due to the Dvapara-yuga being degraded into the beginning of Kali-yuga that allowed the lowly ‘planet tribes’ to invade and be eventually influenced by of the ‘more celestial beings that followed the Vedas. This is why Sanskrit is the language of the demigods.
Therefore Satya-yuga, Treta-yuga and the most of the Dvapara, even though on this planet, must have been more celestial than earthly and existed in the sky of this planet rather than on the surface. In other Yugas there were mystical powers, huge cities floating in the air, happening at the same time the mundane biological evolutionary process was going on the floor of the planet, that the ‘celestials Vedic universal travellers’ left alone.
This is why no evidence is found of the Satya, Treta or Dvapara-yugas (except towards the end of Dvapara, when it has virtually been degraded down to the planets surface. Then Krishna came right at the very end of Dvapara-yuga, then after the battle at Kurukshetra, the Kali-yuga began and the invasion of the primitive animal like barbaric human tribes now had evolved enough to plunder the remanets of what was left from the Vedic culture. In the process, some of these barbaric tribes adapted to many practises, from cooking to rituals and prayer that gradually influenced many ‘gross worldly’ primitive cultures, like tribes in the Indian region and may have even influenced Judaism though, the Vedic culture was so degraded by then, the influence was weak and scattered because most of the saintly sages had already left the planet, to escape the on coming storm of Kali-yuga.
Dr Alex Katsman, a modern 21st century scientist explains in part that at the present time there is a lot of evidence that a certain part of the mahat-tattva universe is invisible to us. A substantial step in understanding the material universe was taken by Ronald Pearson. Pearson’s theory is based on the idea that when two kinds of primary particles are present, collisions and the exchange of energy between them cause the creation of a neuron-like structure.
This theory has opened a new field for modelling and explaining so-called “paranormal” phenomena or the subtle material world. The wave nature of our world, which is closely linked to Pearson’s theory, can be used to explain the existence of parallel worlds. Such parallel worlds are also material (not spiritual as some yogis and saints proclaim) to the same degree as our sensed world is. This means that they have the same wave nature with the same (or similar) physical laws.
With this idea as a starting point, one can develop a physical, quantum mechanics model of the higher frequency, parallel (ethereal) world that is usually invisible for us. Oliver Lodge apparently suggested the first reasonable explanation of the results: this invisible part of the material world operates at higher frequencies than the ones in the gross material world we are able to sense. Many investigators support this idea. However, the theoretical basis regarding such a subtle material world is absent.
Most authors think of this world as a “spirit” world but it is just a higher reality of the material world in the mahat-tattva and not a spiritual phenomenon at all. The invisible (ethereal) part of the mahat-tattva universe has a physical structure similar to the world we sense: the matter is built from atoms, which, in turn, are constructed from nucleons and electrons, with the same elementary electrical charge. The size, structure and energy spectrum of ethereal atoms and presently detected atoms are the same. However, these heavenly and hellish ‘ghostly’ worlds and its ‘sub-space material matter’ within the mahat-tattva perishable world can never be detected by gross material means, these worlds are only ‘seen,’ visited and ‘realized’ by pious activities.
The mundane material scientists speculate that the ethereal mahat-tattva world is invisible to us because of different “universal” constants such as the speed of light, c, and Planck’s constant, h, while their product, c×h, which determines the elementary charge, is conserved. The ethereal speed of light is much higher than the one in our world or dimension, and Planck’s constant is much smaller. This leads to higher frequencies in the ethereal elementary particles, and in particular, photons, which realize the electromagnetic interaction between atoms.
Our atoms cannot absorb ethereal photons, and the ethereal world remains invisible to us and all our gross means of investigation, which includes the Hubble telescope and the Electron microscope. This is why with our gross material elements and machinery, we can never perceive the ethereal subtle world of matter and ethereal bodies. There apparently exists gravitational interaction between the ethereal world and our world, but this interaction is very small because of the very small masses of ethereal or ghostly bodies.
The scientists miss the point with this speculation and that is their own underlining body is also ethereal and is only wearing the biological vessel. The only means to enter the ethereal sub-space world is without a biological body and that is only achieved by the direction of pious activates as found in the Vedas.

such a great site soolabha!
sweet and a good effort by you “Sharm Sharm Radhe Sharm.
thankyou
Please explain your videos in Indian languages as well…mainly in Hindi. It’s national language.
Parul, please read the description of the Vedic Universe now in Hindi. To remake the actual video, even with Hindi subtitles, would take me several months. Namaskar.
Thanks for the videos in English , which is a global language
Haribol
– Mess : “From Baladeva Prabhu (the sandhini-sakti), who exhibits the primary aspects of pure devotional service and bhakti to Sri Krsna, the first Quadrupal Expansion manifests, consisting of Vasudeva (Gokula), Aniruddha (Mathura), Pradyumna (Dvaraka) and Sankarsana. They again manifest the second Quadrupal Expansion as the Vaikuntha realms.”
‘Vasudeva (Gokula), Aniruddha (Mathura), Pradyumna (Dvaraka)’ there is no sloka on this.
‘They again manifest the second Quadrupal Expansion as the Vaikuntha realms’. 2 nd quadruple is not a realm but again these 4 see CC madhya 20.189-192
“The first expansion of the caturvyüha, quadruple forms, is unique. There is nothing to compare with Them. These quadruple forms are the source of unlimited quadruple forms….“Lord Kåñëa again expands, and within the paravyoma, the spiritual sky, He is situated in fullness as the four-handed Näräyaëa, accompanied by expansions of the original quadruple form.”
– Wrong : “When the dinosaurs where on the surface of this planet, advanced biological human species had not yet evolved due to the fact that biological evolutionary on the planets surface had not reached that stage of evolution…”
SB 6.6.21-42 describes the re-population of the earth by kasyapa muni + wives at the beginning of the caksusa – and vaivasvata manvantara :
“Kaçyapa, who is also named Tärkñya, had four wives—Vinatä [Suparëä], Kadrü, Pataìgé and Yäminé. Pataìgé gave birth to many kinds of birds, and Yäminé gave birth to locusts. Vinatä [Suparëä] gave birth to Garuòa, the carrier of Lord Viñëu, and to Anüru, or Aruëa, the chariot driver of the sun-god. Kadrü gave birth to different varieties of serpents….O King Parékñit, now please hear from me the names of Kaçyapa’s wives, from whose wombs the population of the entire universe has come. They are the mothers of almost all the population of the entire universe, and their names are very auspicious to hear. They are Aditi, Diti, Danu, Käñöhä, Ariñöä, Surasä, Ilä, Muni, Krodhavaçä, Tämrä, Surabhi, Saramä and Timi. From the womb of Timi all the aquatics took birth, and from the womb of Saramä the ferocious animals like the tigers and lions took birth…My dear King Parékñit, from the womb of Surabhi the buffalo, cow and other animals with cloven hooves took birth, from the womb of Tämrä the eagles, vultures and other large birds of prey took birth, and from the womb of Muni the angels took birth…The sons born of Krodhavaçä were the serpents known as dandaçüka, as well as other serpents and the mosquitoes. All the various creepers and trees were born from the womb of Ilä. The Räkñasas, bad spirits, were born from the womb of Surasä.The Gandharvas were born from the womb of Ariñöä, and animals whose hooves are not split, such as the horse, were born from the womb of Käñöhä. …From the womb of Mätåkä, the wife of Aryamä, were born many learned scholars. Among them Lord Brahmä created the human species, which are endowed with an aptitude for self-examination.”
“the advanced people, they were Aryans, ärya. Aryans means advanced. So the Indo-European stock, they are also Aryans. They came from Central India, Central Asia, and some of them went to Indian side. That is the history. The Caspian, Caspian Sea, that was the place of Kaçyapa Muni. Kaçyapa. From Kaçyapa the Caspian has come.”

There apparently exists gravitational interaction between the ethereal world and our world, but this interaction is very small because of the very small masses of ethereal or ghostly bodies”
Our comment : According to the Veda, the paramanus (SB 3.11.1) are components of the six kinds of quarks (elementary subatomic particles), the six types of anti-quarks and the leptons (the electron, positron and neutron). These are the smallest particles known in the western science. Each of these particles is a little smaller then the 10^-18cm. The size of the atom of the western materialistic science is 1 angstrom (10^-10cm).
The paramanu according to the Nyaya-Vaisesika is 0.79×10^-22 cm. But since they are souls in susupti they can expand or shrink further. The radiations = energies = modes = gunas of the paramanus all differ (SB 3.26.4 purport). One can call these gunas also the frequencies or vibrations of the paramanu. They mix to give varieties of quarks (elementary subatomic particles) and leptons. If these assemble then we get for example, mesons an elementary particle having a mass between that of an electron and proton (these particles were originally named mesotrons by Heisenberg), protons, anti-protons, hadrons, baryons, neutrons. Atoms and molecules are composed of these particles. The further combination of these particles will give the elements or the objects of unlimited varieties of qualities of our world. The qualities, modes or guna’s means in relation to rupa, sparsa, sabda, rasa and gandha (form, touch, sound, taste and smell). The paramanus are the building blocks of the universe and the gunas are like the concrete that binds the paramanus. The subtle realm is also paramanus, atoms but their gunas make them invisible for us, and present for the (upa-) devatas.
The types of qualities and the quality of intensities are controlled by the Paramatma; designed and designated by His officers at the creation of the universe, and manipulated during its maintenance. For example, as the light is dimmed or adjusted.
Thank you Nitaichandra Dasa for your eloborate comment. It is very refreshing for me to receive opinions and perspectives from a scholar who quotes references from sastra, who requests references to statements, and points out misinformation and speculation in my posts. For the most part, I have simply compiled different authors essays, and videos, on the topic of Vedic Cosmology, and republished them in an acttrative layout for the gerneral public.
I am aware of the specific creation sequence given in verse SB 6.6.21-42, and have compiled an unpublished comparison with the simplified coresponding verses in the Judeo-Christian Genesis. I agree with you and acknowledge that the last contributer, Gauragopala das, has introduced speculation without scriptual references.
Your explanation of Vedic sub-atomic physics is also greatly appreciated, and I am happy that these topics are being discussed and questioned with respect and integrity. In your service, and the service of the Vaisnavas, Soolaba Dasa.
Congradulations on your article the man is obviously sold out to Evolution theory and reminds me of those jesuit demons that have infiltrated.
Very sad to see such mondane speculations that discredit the page.
Regarding dinosaures, their is that giant fish in the waters and curses /demons of huge monsters, very precious full bodies have been found.
I agree on space travel, rockets dont work in space, and goverments are forced to comply with thee vatican /freemason agenda.
Reply from Mayesa Dasa to Nitaichandra Dasa:
In Satya Yuga people have very strong bodies that are bigger also, they live for 100,000 years. The Yuga dharma is meditation. By meditation they can get 8 mystic powers
But the weather is unbelievably beautiful and they are less disturbed by bugs and snakes etc they do not grow food, it grows by itself and they just select and eat. They do not need a king or a government
They live in trees. Special giant trees grew with natural hollows. They had no desire to construct buildings. This information is available in the Puranas so yes, they did live above the surface but not only in Vimanas and Sky palaces
dinosaurs
When the mini Pralaya comes water covers earth planet animals from everywhere float in that water, when the waters subside animal bodies lodge here and there and they find some big bones and ” imagine” what was the shape that is their nonsense
And bodies of demons from various places and their animals fall dead all over bhurloka this planet. That is directly Stated in the Puranas. So dinosaurs are left from water of pralays and people are bigger so why not animals bigger as well? Don’t worry if we are going to be embarrassed. All this modern science is soon to be overturned, every word of it, we must strictly preach what is in sastra and nothing else.
Moon hoax will be revealed also, so if we accept it we shall be the Biggest fools on the planet, remember a hoax is made only by a few. The hundreds that build the technology they will never know it is a sham. That is how you have success.
In WW2 the allies used loud speakers to make the enemy think there were thousands of vehicles when there was only one jeep. Similarly the allies constructed rubber planes and tanks so the Nazis would see they had more. Do you think every man in the army knew? This could have remained secret forever
Extra ordinary things are there in Puranas about other planets as well. Exact day of change from each age is given, extraordinary things. If we say what we do not find in Puranas the people will be disappointed and will not take us seriously
If you have Vimana you go to other planets so why only hover above earth? They are given a wonderful opportunity to live in Satya yuga and be able to perform the preferred religion. Demigods could come and preach here in Satya yuga – like Vaivasvata Muni, inhabitants could hear one time and remember for a life time
Multiple universes
According to Jahnava Nitai Das there are 64 dimensions of existence in the Vedic conception of Reality. According to another site I have been on, there are many sub-dimensions of each of these 64 primary dimensions. However, I have NEVER read anything about these ’64 dimensions’ anywhere except here on the internet. Are there any references someone can point me to in the Vedic literature that mentions these 64 dimensions?
According to string theory and quantum theory there are 10 dimensions but according to vedas there are 64 dimensions of universe and yogi who performs yogas especially. kriya yoga can gain access to many other dimensions than 4 and he can do unusual activities than a common man can’t even think of, yogi can perform 8 mystical perfections, each perfection gives access to 8 other dimensions, if he achieves all 8 perfections then he get access to all 64 dimensions (8 x 8), making his body unaffected by space time laws.
New concepts and theories of Cosmology postulate multiple universes and multiple dimensions that give the universe its structure. However, the concept of a Multiverse is not new.
Ancient Sanskrit and Chinese texts discuss the Multiverse.
“According to Vedic Cosmology, there are countless universes, which are clustered together like foam on the surface of the Causal Ocean. The universes are separated from each other by the shell that envelopes each universe. Although the universes are clustered together, interactions between the universes are impossible.
Each universe is completely protected by an enormous shell. Thus, each universe has a boundary. The universe is ball shaped and surrounded by an eight-fold shell.
This shell is composed of primeval material elements in their most subtle manifestation. The shell consists of eight spherical layers in which each successive material element is manifested and stored. If we penetrate the universal shell consisting of these eight spherical layers, we will enter the universal globe and find a hollow region containing all the inhabited planets.
According to Vedic physics, space inside our universe is multidimensional. There are 64 main dimensions and each dimension is further divided into many sub-dimensions. Since the inhabitants of earth can only perceive three dimensions, their senses have no access to many other realms of universal reality. Therefore, we are unable to perceive many other planets and their inhabitants. Furthermore, there are other planets which we can perceive but at the same time we cannot see their inhabitants.
According to Vedic physics, different planetary levels have different time scales. Relativity of time is elaborately described in the Vedic literatures.”
The newest theory in physics is string, superstring, and M-theory.
The new theories use extra dimensions of space beyond the three we are familiar with, but the 6 extra dimensions are not observable as they are compactified to such small dimensions, curled up in a tiny space less than the Planck length. However, M-theory, an integration of string theories and beyond postulates extra extended dimensions like our familiar universe.
The branes that compose a universe may come in multiples and interact with each other according to some theorists. It is even possible that these branes are spherical and compose shells as pictured in ancient Vedic Cosmology.
These strings can vibrate with different frequencies, and in so doing they create different types of particles. That’s comparable to plucking a guitar to generate different notes. When physicists play the music of the cosmos, the faster a string vibrates, the more massive, or energetic, the particle created.
Whether M-theory will turn out as a unified theory will probably depend on the accuracies of its predictions and whether the theory is internally consistent and a reflection of physical processes.
The idea of matter frequencies is not new and may give us some insight on another way to view the existence of multiple universes.
Time: “Time is God’s way of keeping everything from happening at once”
Unknown. Time is an elusive concept. We speak of the past, present, and future however, we may also find doorways in time and visit other times.
Our memories confirm the existence of a past world, and our imaginations envision the future. The present is ever fleeting and cannot be caught. We know time subjectively and we measure its passage by the ticking clock, but what is time?
Time seems to be the persistence of space, energy, and matter. We measure this persistence by periodic motions. Any particle or planet that has a regular periodic motion can serve as a clock for the measuring of time. We consider the diurnal rotation of the earth as marking a day and we have arbitrarily divided the day into 24 hours.
We know that the rate of time changes with velocity according to the Special Theory of Relativity and at extremely high velocities we can determine the dilation of a second of time using the relativistic equation.
The Time Dilation equation for Relativity is:
In the relativistic equations time is a fourth dimension. Could there be another dimension to time? Some physicists think so, but this leads to further paradoxes.
If we look at how we use time in physics, in units of seconds as determined by the vibration of atoms, then we are treating the vibration as a constant with a fixed period. What if there is a fundamental vibration?
A string in M-theory has different modes and frequencies of vibration.
Whether a string or ring, these vibrations can determine the character of fundamental physical particles. What if there were vibrations out of phase with our universe? Would they be detected? Could a time frequency define a universe?
Other than an extra extended spatial dimension for another universe, the possibility of frequency universes may also be a hypothesis that could ultimately be tested and allow for communication between universes.
One of the fundamental frequencies that can be attributed to sub-atomic particles is spin frequency. If we combine the energy of a photon and the energy of mass we could derive a spin frequency equation:
F = mc2/h
In this equation h refers to Planck’s constant. Both c and h contain units of time.
If these spin rates vary, it is possible that such matter will not interact with photons and thus be invisible from our perspective. Just like a spinning fan which speeds up until one can no longer see reflection from the blades.
This is conjecture at this point and experiments on changing spin frequency of elementary particles are not something our scientists have a handle on at present. Anecdotal stories of spectral sights that are seen in moments of psychic vision seem to imply the existence of invisible worlds. Metaphysical tradition states that these other worlds are vibrating faster than the world we sense.
This is one possibility which can be modeled.
Space
The extension of objects in space is something that is also fundamental to physics and most hyperdimensional physical theories, such as the Kaluza-Klein theory, string theories, and M-theory deal with the mathematics of extra spatial dimensions.
Spatial dimensions beyond the three of our everyday world are difficult, even impossible to visualize though some mathematicians have tried. If we visualize a cube in three-dimensional space, could we extend this to visualize a hypercube in four-dimensional space?
The problem is that we define a dimension as orthogonal to other dimensions and we can only perceive three orthogonal extensions which we have defined as length, breadth, and width. We do not know how to rotate another 90 degrees to point to that fourth spatial dimension.
In M-theory the extra spatial dimensions may form closed loops that are as small as 10-33 cm (Planck length) and are said to be compactified.
“Many physicists hope that string theory will ultimately unify quantum mechanics, the theory of small-scale interactions, with general relativity, the theory of gravity. String theory requires at least nine spatial dimensions, so proponents normally claim that all but three of them are compactified and only accessible in extremely high-energy particle collisions.
As an alternative to compactified dimensions, Lisa Randall of Princeton University and Raman Sundrum, now of Stanford University, describe a scenario in which an extra, infinite dimension could have remained undetected so far.
Other researchers have pointed out that if extra dimensions exist, the strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces and their associated particles might operate within a three-dimensional “subspace” of the higher dimensional world. Like beads on a wire that lies on a table, the particles would be restricted to their own set of dimensions, unable to move beyond them. But gravity is different: It consists of the motions of space-time, which includes all dimensions simultaneously.
So Randall and Sundrum imagine a world with four spatial dimensions, where gravity exists in all four, but the other forces –and all of our direct experience– exist in 3D.
They say we live in a “3-brane” located at some specific position along the fourth spatial dimension.”
Many physicists believe that these extra-dimensional theories are very speculative and that ultimately we could not prove the existence of extra dimensions, but the rejoinder is that these theories are successful in predicting particle masses and energies.
The future may bring new theories and discoveries.
Many Worlds Theory
In 1957, Hugh Everett III proposed a radical new way of dealing with some of the more perplexing aspects of quantum mechanics. It became known as the Many-Worlds Interpretation.
According to this interpretation, whenever numerous viable possibilities exist, the world splits into many worlds, one world for each different possibility (in this context, the term “worlds” refers to what most people call “universes”).
In each of these worlds, everything is identical, except for that one different choice; from that point on, they develop independently, and no communication is possible between them, so the people living in those worlds (and splitting along with them) may have no idea that this is going on.
The Many-Worlds Interpretation is an interpretation of quantum mechanics, and pertains to quantum events. But it also has implications for macroscopic systems like you and me. Although you may think that there are certain alternatives you would never choose, can you really be sure of that?
There are a practically infinite number of versions of you, who have all split off at some time in the past from the path you are now following. There may be versions of you that split off five or ten years ago, or perhaps five minutes after you were born, to whom those choices may not seem unthinkable.
But in a very real sense, those people are still “you” (but it can be argued that we should not use the word “are”, or even “were”; we need to invent a new kind of tense…) (3)
Bubble Universes
Alan Guth’s evolving theory of an Inflationary Universe, one that rapidly expanded from the Big Bang, a fluctuation of the false vacuum led to the concept of many such universes bubbling out of the vacuum and our universe is only one of these bubbles floating around in a superspace.
Transdimensional travel
The exciting world of science fiction contains many stories of transdimensional travel in space and time. Perhaps as we proceed in our understanding of how the universe works, we may someday realize these stories and they may become a real part of our technology.
Already such marvels as photon teleportation and quantum computing are being explored in laboratories around the world. It is exciting to think that someday we may visit another universe which would have to be very similar if not identical to our own in physical principle if we are to survive the journey.
We may also find doorways in time and visit other times.http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/ciencia_astrosciences01.htm
Yes nice comment Ntai Chandra Prabhu on ‘Vedic Tour of the Universe’ however; the quote about Dinosaurs was not completely given by you. My philosophical speculation is that in other Yugas most of the advanced living beings lived above this planet in Vimanas or palaces in the sky rather than on the planet’s surface and that there WERE Dinosaurs on the planet 65,000,000 years ago.
My comment clearly suggested that there were ‘celestial’ humans in more advance Yugas back then living in Palaces in the sky ABOVE the planets surface while the ‘biological’ less advanced humans of this planet either had not developed or were living in uncivilized tribes on the surface. In other words BOTH evolution through 8,400,000 species and the soul moving through the higher and lower planets and other past advanced yugas, as well as the lower biological species of life on the surface of this middle Earthly planet exists simultaneously. The beginning of Kali yuga is when everything came crashing down to the surface therefore, those higher beings with mystical powers no longer lived in Vimanas and Sky Palaces due to loosing their powers, of course in some areas on the planet, there were celestial settlements as well however, most were in the sky above the planets surface
How else can you explain why no massive archaeological evidence is found of advanced cities or even human remains from 65,000,000 million years ago? Also even mass cremations sites would have been discovered. The Vedic culture was all over the world millions of years ago but absolutely no remnants of it are found in Countries like Australia. Why? The only answer is they lived in cities in the atmosphere rather than on the surface of the Planet.
Also philosophical speculation is there with devotees even with the vast knowledge of understanding Srimad Bhagavatam and other Vedic texts, for example, Sadaputa Prabhu says that the Moon is 258,000 miles away, Mayesa Prabhu says it is over 100,000,000 miles away and Srila Prabhupada says first there is Sun, then Moon which it is 94,000,000 miles away.
When you read the 5th Canto and other astronomical text it’s stated that the moon is 800,000 miles ABOVE the earth. The importance is “ABOVE”. Not distance from. However, here is what the Vedas also state: Average distance between earth and sun = 108 times the sun’s diameter. Average distance between earth and moon = 108 times the moon’s diameter
The moon’s diameter is 2159 mi, and 108 x 2159 = 233,172 (so science and Vedas are not in conflict).
Now without making a fool of ourselves with blind faith and in the face of the Americans, Russians, European Union, Japan, Russia, China and India who have all sent probes there recently and claim the moon distance from Earth is 238,000 miles away, whom do we believe? Yes we see through the eyes of sastra but first we must understand what sastra is saying for example figures in the 5th Canto are not distances but rather is a code.
When the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi was asked this question about if India has sent probes to the Moon and Mars he said our space program is very successful. Are we to believe every country is in on the hoax?
Srila Prabhupada also said to Pusta Krishna Swami on the roof of the Mayapur Temple -: “I do not think that there were dinosaurs. We do not get any information of this from the Vedas”. How do we understand this comment? So do we believe there were no dinosaurs as well?
QUESTION: Dinosaurs’ bones and eggs that have been found everywhere in the world especially in India, but why have we never heard about the existence of Dinosaurs in the History of the Vedas?
ANSWER Dinosaurs? Yes, not mentioned in the scriptures. But, you know, neither are the pyramids of Gizah, nor the Sumerians, nor dodos, warthogs, koalas, kangaroos, panda bears, and literally hundreds of thousands of other animals, extinct and current.
Are we saying that for the sake of accepting every opinion of Srila Prabhupada completely literally we should consider that these also did not and do not exist? I mean, would you really tell the very people that have dug from the earth complete skeletons of dinosaurs that they dug up something that doesn’t exist??? This all needs to be researched and many devotees are doing this.
Your fallen servant Gauragopala dasa
nitaichandra dasa – DINOSAURS
More than 50 years ago, before reading Srila Prabhupada’s Books, I was teaching that the central concepts of Darwinian Species Evolution, Human Evolution, Pangea and Supercontinent Plate Tectonics, and Dino-saurs were
erroneous. This was based purely on the hard evidence from the natural sciences. Since then other major scientific advances have repeatedly validated my own earliest observations in these fields and others. As for the ‘Dino-Saurs’, they were ALL originally postulated to be REPTILES:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaurs
“Etymology –
The taxon Dinosauria was formally named in 1842 by paleontologist Sir Richard Owen, who used it to refer to the “distinct tribe or sub-order of Saurian Reptiles” that were then being recognized in England and around the world.[9]
The term is derived from the Greek words δεινός (deinos, meaning “terrible,” “potent,” or “fearfully great”) and σαῦρος (sauros, meaning “lizard” or “reptile”).[9][10] Though the taxonomic name has often been interpreted as a reference to dinosaurs’ teeth, claws, and other fearsome characteristics, Owen intended it merely to evoke their size and majesty.[11]”
Because of the pervasive academic specialty refusal to admit a fundamental error, even NOW the ‘dinosaur’ specialists are playing word-games to cover-up the fact that the EVIDENCE does NOT support their claims. Thus as in the
linked wiki article, they are now saying that BIRDS EVOLVED FROM ‘DINOSAURS’! When the evidence says that the later BIRDS CAME FROM earlier BIRDS!
What I said back 50+ years ago was that the so-called ‘dinosaurs’ like the Bird-hipped T Rex (Raptors) or the other hip-types except the actual ‘lizard-hip’ types could NOT have been cold-blooded animals like today’s
true reptiles, because their metabolic needs and heat exchange systems could not have worked. Thus they had to be Birds or other warm blooded endomorphs, NOT REPTILES. This means that todays birds, mammals, insects, aquatics and reptiles are the smaller versions of the SAME CREATURES that one lived here. They are NOT ‘evolutionary’ developments from earlier cold-blooded ‘reptiles’. They have DEVOLVED from their own ancestrally bigger relatives.
The point is that when our Acharyas say that there were no DINOSAURS, technically they are correct, because the concept that subsequent creatures evolved from such REPTILES was always WRONG.
One must get rid of the idea of ‘dinosaurs’, which concept was wrong to begin with. Present day warm blooded mammal species like the rhino or the bird species did NOT ‘evolve’ from reptilian ‘Dino-Saurs’. These devolved from their
larger warm-blooded ancestors. Modern evolutionary paleo-scientists are not admitting this because it would show that they have ALWAYS been fundamentally wrong about so many things. So they must ‘massage’ the data and ‘spin’ the new evidence or ‘re-frame’ it to hide the fact that they have been wrong all along about such basic truths.
Demasiada palabrería espiritual vedica y nada comprobable científicamente.
Cuando se calcula el diámetro de las islas cósmicas circulares (llamados dvipas) que se describen en el quinto libro de la Bhagavata Purana, mediante el uso de la fórmula estándar de 8.5 millas = 1 yojana, estos diámetros iguales a las órbitas actualmente aceptadas de todos los planetas de nuestro sistema solar . Este es sin duda más que una coincidencia que estas distancias se conocen por lo menos hace 5,000 años, antes de que el descubrimiento moderno de Neptuno y Urano. Sin embargo, como usted ha dicho, la existencia de seres extraterrestres y Cosmología Védica no puede ser probada por la ciencia. Tampoco pueden también las teorías cosmológicas actuales como The Big Bang, la materia oscura, la energía oscura y Multiversos ser probados por la ciencia.
Carlos’s comment:
“Too much spiritual Vedic rambling and nothing verifiable scientifically.”
My reply:
When we calculate the diameter of the circular cosmic islands (called dvipas) described in the 5th book of the Bhagavata Purana, by using the standard formula 8.5 miles = 1 yojana, these diameters equal the currently accepted orbits of all the planets of our solar system. This is certainly beyond coincidence that these distances were known at least 5,000 years ago, before the modern discovery of Neptune and Uranus. However, as you have stated, the existence of extra-terrestrial beings and Vedic Cosmology cannot be proven by science. Neither also can the current cosmology theories like The Big Bang, Dark Matter, Dark Energy and Multiverses be proven by science.

As soon as your video mentioned globe earth I knew it was a sham. When the foundation is a lie everything built upon that lie will be false as well. It seems to get the north pole star Polaris and star system then goes on to speak about a globe earth. There is no curvature ever recorded on earth by engineers, pilots or shippers. Do some simple experiments yourself to prove.
Earth is a stationary flat plane not a ball rotating, wobbling, spinning 1,000 mph at the equator and whipping around the sun at 65,000 mph. The sun and moon are electromagnetic light sources circulating around the flat earth approximately 30 miles from the surface both the same size. One light for the day one for the night,.
No deep space vacuum, no gravity, no planets to be landed on (stars and wandering stars only), no satellites, no ball earth curvature.
drwatson, please understand that I agree with you about the globe Earth. I did not create this cgi of the Vedic universe, I just edited it down to a 20 minute version to quickly illustrate the basic idea of Bhagavata or Puranic Cosmology. If I were a computer graphics artist, the island of Bharata (our Earth) would most definitively be shown as flat, and adjoining the greater Earth-plane of Jambudvipa. Vedic Cosmology is not a sham, only the illusion that the Earth is a globe is a sham.
This site answered all my questions. Thank you for this site and all the information.
it’s very very important information to our vedic hindu religion . I want to more information in my email I’d
