Guest guest Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 List Members, I have tweaked my explanation of the comment from the Mahabharat which was brought up by Bal Gangadhar Tilak in Arctic Home of the Vedas. "... 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. And what were those descriptions? Let us begin by looking at chapter four, page 57, of Tilak's book: “ We shall therefore, next quote the Mahabharat, which gives such a clear description of Mount Meru, the lord of the mountains, as to leave no doubt its being the North Pole, or possessing the Polar characteristics. In chapters 163 and 164 of Vanaparvan, Arjuna’s visit to the mount is described in detail and we are therein told, ‘ at Meru the Sun and the Moon go ‘round from left to right ( Pradadakshinam ) every day and so do all the stars.’ >From the normal, inhabited longitudes on the surface of the earth, the Sun and Moon don't rise and travel left and right, only above one's head. According to how one turns, the rising could be left or right, frontal or from the back. Only from the Arctic could the rising of the Sun be from left to right, and it can ONLY be from left to right. So what region is being referred to in this description of Meru's placement? ( The high Arctic) The explorer Admiral Mac Millan reported seeing a mountain range as clearly as could be from a point not far from the opening to the hollow earth, as we shall soon see. http://www.holloworbs.com/Arctic_Home_Vedas.htm Not only are there direct statements in the Puranas about the hollow earth, as in the story of the Sons of Sagara, but even in the Mahabharat one can make an inference about wherefrom the speaker is speaking. I hope that some of the list members will finally get in touch with me about the Hollow Earth in the Puranas concept, perhaps writing me off list or joining the allplanets-holow list: allplanets-hollow/?yguid=144775677 I would be happy to discuss it on this list, too.
