Ancient Astronomy


“Aapo Naara iteproktta Aapovai Narasunuvaha “





According to our ancient scriptures the whole world created by God. Above statement states God “A god who slept over the water of pralaya, and it is under care of god”, It is the Initial stage of Shristhi. God is the one, who creates controls and destroys the world.
          Every soul had 4 layers of body namely Swaroopa deha,langadeha,Anirudhadeha,Sthula daha.
Now a day’s many challenges come before us to justify of our scripture messages. I recently read a book called “Bhugola varnanum” written by Shri Vadirajatirtha .I seen very interesting facts about Astronomy in that book.
In that book there is a brief description about Shristhi, Sthiti, and Laya. From that book I want to share some interesting things. By the Vaikarika Godeses all types of bodies, mind get created .By the tejus 5 types of Ggyanedriyas, 5 types of Karmendriyas get created. By the Tamas 5 types of Tanmatra’s, 5 types of MahaBhutas and 5 types of Vayu’s created.
By the Fire, water is created.
All   Shristhi,Sthiti,Laya follow’s the rule called Anukraman and Vyutkraman .
By the Priyavrata king’s cart 7 Islands are created ,namely “Paksha,Shuka,Jambu,Krouncha,Shaka and Pukshara” .Among all Islands Jambu at the center .In the Jambu Island 9 Aavaranas  namely   Bhadrashwa,Ketumala,Harivarsha,Kembushaka,Bharata,ilavrata, Ramyaka,Heranmaya and Kuru .Among the all, Ilavrata’s  at the center .At the center of ilavrata there is a golden hill called Meru ,which is of 1 lakes yojanas (1 yojana=on land 10 miles, on sea 8 miles, on sky 6.06 miles).Its shape is opposite of triangle. Upper area is large and below is small.
Earth is come at 16000 yojanas from base of Meru. 32000 yojanas above the earth its tip is there.
Base of Meru is covered with 19 hills on the 4 sides namely Kuranga,Kurara,Kapila,Shankha,Vaidhurya,Hamsa,Anjana, Narada etc.
To the North side of Meru 3 hills are there namely Neela,Shweta,Shrugavana,to the east Mandara ,to the west Suparshwa hills situated .

All the hills are protected by circular object called Kataaha or Karpara .It is made up of strong Diamond.
 Above the 1 lac yojanas from earth, Bhuhu is there. Above the 50 lak yojanas from Bhuhu, all Godese’s cities are there .Near to that Swarga, Naraka are there .
