Book Description

From the perspective of Vedic scripture( commonly referred to as the Hindu scripture), the earth is flat. We are on an island called JAMBŪDVĪPA and there are more islands which are undiscovered due to our collective sinful karma. Jambudvipa itself hasn't been fully discovered yet, and we only know about a discovered part of what is called Bhārata-varṣa (which is within it). As per ISKCON founder Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada, our discovery of greater regions is as that of a bull tied to a stake, which keeps going round and round, and so we mistakenly imagine the earth as a round globe. This is primarily due to consequences of greed in us, that we feel that we are floating in space with noone else in a Godless universe. However, that isn't so. Our greed pushed us to make a magnetic compass(for example) and follow it's needle which supposedly changes with earth's magnetic field. However, the bhu-mandala ie earth plane, does not have any magnetic waves at all! Those are emitted by Rahu planet(greed/attachment/magnetism(since it attracts)) which is a shadow planet(and is the north node of the moon). The opposite of Rahu is Ketu planet(detachment/south node of the moon) forming the positive and negative axis of magnetism. So, the compass needle is actually pointing to this Rahu ketu axis of magnetism! And not the earth plane. For this reason, we keep going round and round like a bull tied to a stake, and are unable to discover the greater regions and are limited like a toad in a well, who cannot fathom the grandeur of the ocean! Come and lets journey together to know exactly how large the flat earth plane really is, and all the fantastic beings that live on it!
