🧵Thread : Jambudvīpa – The Forgotten Geography of the Ancient World 🌍🕉️

1️⃣
Our Puranas & Itihasas don’t just tell stories.
They describe the entire geography of the world in a cosmic way.
At the center of it all: Jambudvīpa, the landmass surrounded by ocean, divided into 9 Varshas (regions). Let’s explore 👇

2️⃣
🔹 What is Jambudvīpa?
According to Sanatan Dharma, Earth is divided into 7 continents (Dvipas).
The most important? → Jambudvīpa, the central land of humans, devas & great civilizations.
Yes - our “world map” was drawn thousands of years ago!

3️⃣
Jambudvīpa has 9 Varshas (regions):

1. Bharata Varsha 🌏 (India + South Asia)
2. Ketumala Varsha
3. Hari Varsha
4. Ilavrita Varsha
5. Kuru Varsha
6. Hiranmaya Varsha
7. Ramyaka Varsha
8. Kimpurusha Varsha
9. Bhadrasva Varsha

4️⃣
✨ Bharata Varsha = Our land, where karma, dharma & moksha are possible.
That’s why scriptures say being born in Bharat is rare fortune.
Other Varshas were realms of higher beings, semi-divine humans, yogis & siddhas.

5️⃣
🔹 Ilavrita Varsha – located around Mount Meru (North Pole region).
Considered the cosmic center, where Lord Shiva & Parvati reside.
Mount Meru is described as the spiritual axis of the world the connection between heaven & earth.

6️⃣
🔹 Hari Varsha – land blessed by Bhagwan Narasimha.
🔹 Kuru Varsha – land of dharmic people, often linked to higher realms near the Arctic.
🔹 Ketumala Varsha – some equate it with the Western world (Europe).

Ancient maps align surprisingly with modern continents!

7️⃣
🔹 Kimpurusha Varsha – land of Kimpurushas (celestial beings).
🔹 Ramyaka Varsha – associated with great yogis.
🔹 Hiranmaya & Bhadrasva Varshas – mystical lands mentioned in Puranas.

These weren’t just “mythical” – they represented spiritual geographies.

8️⃣
Modern historians dismiss this as “myth.”
But think: How did ancient rishis know of continents, oceans & poles thousands of years ago? 🌍
Sanatan Dharma saw Earth not just physically but spiritually, cosmically, energetically.

9️⃣
Jambudvīpa shows us:
🌏 Geography = not just land & water.
🌿 It is dharma, karma, spiritual evolution.
Each Varsha = a realm of consciousness.
Earth = a living spiritual map.

🔟
So next time you see “Bharata Varsha” in scriptures
Remember: It’s not just India.
It’s the most sacred part of Jambudvīpa where the human soul has the unique chance to seek liberation (Moksha). 🕉️
