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.
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
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.
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
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,
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
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.

A kutty #Story
Teacher addresses a student & asks: “How many kidneys do we have?"
“Four!", The backbencher student responds.
“Four? Haha,” The teacher was one of those who took pleasure in picking on his students' mistakes and demoralizing them.
“Bring a bundle of grass, because we have a donkey in the room," the teacher orders a front bencher.
“And for me a coffee!”, the backbencher student added.
The teacher was furious & expelled the student from the room.
The student was, by the way, a famous humorist namely
Aparicio Torelly Aporelly (1895-1971), better known as the "Baron de Itararé".
On his way out of the classroom, the student still had the audacity to correct the furious teacher:
"You asked me how many kidneys‘ *we have*. "We have four: two of mine & two of yours. *‘We have’*

These are the original Moorthies of Shri Rama, Lakshmana & Sita Mata which were removed and sent to a safe place before Ram Mandir was desecrated by Babur. When Babur marched into Ayodhya, the caretaker of the Mandir Pandit Shyamanand Maharaj fled Ayodhya along with
the Moorthies & handed them over to Swami Eknath Maharaj of Paithan. Later these Moorthies were handed over to the Guru of Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Shri Swami Samarth Ramdas.

holy sangam of rivers Tunga & Bhadra forming #Tungabhadra in a small town called Harihar, Karnataka.
