How our Ancient Indians use to calculate space according to Srimad Bhagawatham. #Thread
Lets start from India: India is a part of South Asia; Asia is one of the continent in the world;
This world is nothing but Earth. The whole Earth is known as Bhooh. How our Ancient Indians use to calculate space according to
In Bhooh we have seven Dweepams known as Jambu, Plaksha, Shalmali, Kusha, Kraunca, Shaka, Pushkara Dweepams respectively. India is in Jambudweepam.
Above Bhooh there are seven layers/lokas named as Bhuvah, Suvah, Mahah, Janah, Tapah, Satyam
Similarly, Below Earth there are In Bhooh we have seven Dweepams known as Jambu, Plaksha, Sha
another seven layers/Lokas called as Atala, Vitala, Sutala, Rasathala, ThalaaThala, Mahathala, Pathala.
seven lokas above & seven Lokas below Earth respectively. So we call (Eer Yezhu Lokam in Tamil) means 7X2=14 Lokas
All these 14 lokas including Earth looks like an egg. another seven layers/Lokas called as Atala, Vitala, Sutala,
In Sanskrit its called Anda. The creator of this Anda is Brahma. so we call it as Brahmaandam.
There is a shell to protect this anda, same like shell covering an egg. This shell is known as Aavaranam in Sanskrit
In between the Anda & Aavaranam there is a fluid called as In Sanskrit its called Anda. The creator of this Anda is Bra
Aavarana Jal in Sanskrit. Its like how a mother protects her baby in her womb with Amnionic fluid, similarly this Avarana Jal/fluid protects all the 14 lokas.
Now this egg, has to be place somewhere in the universe. Above this place we have Vayu Lok, Agni Lok, Surya Lok, Aavarana Jal in Sanskrit. Its like how a mother protects her
Chandra Lok, Nakshatra Lok, Saptarishi Mandal are placed.
All the above said set is placed inside a Dolphins eye.
Now Just imagine the position of dolphin while it swims back to water upside down, that position is known as Simshumaram in Sanskrit.
The Whole Brahmaandam, and Chandra Lok, Nakshatra Lok, Saptarishi Mandal are placed. Al
other Lokas are placed inside that eye,
beside to that there is another Mandal called Dhruva Mandal.
Sri Maha Vishnu placed both Simshumaram and Dhruva Mandal as a small particle of dust on his belly.

@LostTemple7 @Vadicwarrior @davidfrawleyved @tourismgoi @Voice_For_India @mariawirth1 @tntourismoffcl @incredibleindia @AnuSatheesh5 @MinOfCultureGoI When Sri Ram killed Ravana – to nullify his Brahma Hatya Pataka Dosha on Him he did Abhisheka to Mahadev Shiva. Unfortunately Sri Hanuman could not reach mandir on time with Ganga water, Thus, Sri Rama shot an arrow on a hill stone creating Rama Theertha & completed the Pooja.

#Thread
Once way back in 1940s/50s someone was conducting an interview with Kanchi Mahaperiyava. That gentleman recorded the interview in a Tape recorder.
@KanchiMatham @AnuSatheesh5 @Vadicwarrior
