Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Members Dharma/Dean Here is the beginning of an article which I am doing up: In his famous book, The Arctic Home in the Vedas, Bal Gangahar Tilak begins by bringing up two points for the consideration of the reader: That the Arctic area had a tropical climate at one point, and that the sea level was lower, exposing more land mass. The typical argument justifying a tropical climate for the Arctic area is that of a pole shift, that the Arctic might have enjoyed a different latitude in the past. This is possible. It is also possible that a cloud mantle, as Venus enjoys, could have brought about both effects- a warmer climate as well as a lower sea level. First of all, let us consider the model of the planet Venus which mainstream astronomy has given us. Supposedly, the cloud mantle around Venus has caused a greenhouse effect such that the temperatures are reported to be around 900* F. Even so, the Venera Nine probe sent a smaller probe to the surface of Venus by parachute. This is unlikely as the material of any parachute would not have survived such temperatures. ( Or maybe the temperatures are unlikely ) Also, the atmosphere of Venus is reported to be permeated with sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid at those temperatures would leave the surface of Venus looking like a " blob," ( Joseph H. Cater ) rather than exhibiting the sharp features which radar mapping probes have sent back to us. The idea that such a cloud mantle around the Earth or any planet would have the effect of distributing the heat evenly in terms of latitude has been espoused by Joseph H. Cater in his book The Ultimate Reality. Mr. Cater goes outside of the parameters of mainstream science in order to give justification to the existence of such a mantle. He tells us that the Sun's rays, passing through such a mantle miles thick, would arrive at the surface containing a higher ratio of soft particles – something like neutrinos- than what we currently experience. The Sun's rays already contain such particles along with the photons which we so readily perceive. The transformation is intensified as the rays pass through the atmosphere of planets -even more so through a cloud mantle- as photons jumble together and stick to each other, forming aggregates which can be termed soft particles. ( Prana ) The higher content of soft particles in the atmosphere would have many effects, one of them being the absorption of the harder particles which we perceive as heat. Thus a cloud canopy miles thick would not only diminish the sea levels below by transferring a significantamount of the water held in the oceans to the atmosphere, but a canopy would regulate and distribute the heat as well. And not only would an atmosphere with a higher soft-particle content distribute the heat in terms of latitude, but in terms of altitude as well. When we consider that gravity effects are due to an electromagnetic radiation, then an atmosphere ionized by soft particles would exhibit a more uniformly distributed density. This explains the Puranic descriptions of heavenly climates in the Himalayan regions, such as Kashmir. Again, the surface conditions on each planet are dependent on the atmospheric shell, and a thick cloud mantle suspended in the middle of the atmosphere would create these conditions. The falling of the cloud mantle might explain the Biblic account of a forty-days and forty-nights rain. It might also explain how the effects of Kali Yuga were brought about; with no cloud canopy, the soft particle, " prana " atmosphere would no longer be generated below, and the surface of the planet would be exposed to the unrefined rays of the Sun, thereby degrading the condition of life on the surface. Such an explanation is necessary to establish that the descriptions which Tilak attributed to the Arctic Home of the Vedas could easily have been spoken from the Arctic areas to which he attributed them.
