Guest guest Posted July 15, 2001 Report Share Posted July 15, 2001 [world-vedic] Middle Earth HARE KRISHNA ! SRI SRI GURU and GAURANGA ki jaya ! Please accept my humble obeisances. Regarding this current discussion about a 'hollow' Earth, i must say something. While there are vast caverns which extend for miles, and hollow magma tubes and collapsed volcanic cones / flues, and other amazing features on Earth, the term 'middle' Earth, from the Sanskrit 'madhya' was commonly used in the ancient world for the Mediterranean Basin. * Dear Bhakti Ananda Goswami, * I would like to respond to your comments on the Hollow Earth Theory. I will place a star in front of my paragraphs in order to differentiate my comments from yours. * Although there are various bodies of hollow Earth evidence, i.e., Arctic, astronomical, geological and legend, I guess that I should begin by saying that I am uncomfortable with the interpretations which you have imposed on the Puranic comments and story lines in regard to the hollow cavity of the Earth. And I do mean " interpretations." The Puranic account of the Parasurama Avatar is clear. The context of the story is a globe and the face of the Earth. While speaking in a descriptive tone, the Bhagavatam mentions the face of the Earth, Prithivi, the surface as a whole is implied, not a limited geographical area such as India as opposed to the Mediterranean. The narration describes the cardinal directions on the prithivi and then mentions the " madhyatah," the middle part in relation to " the directions." The four directions on the face of a globe have no middle part. Only one conclusion is cohesive, that the stary is referring to the middle part of the planet. How you carry over the obvious context of the Puranic narration to the Mediterranean Sea all of a sudden is beyond me, me thinks that you have indulged in some tremendous word jugglery. * Similarly, the narration of Sons of Sagara contains repreated, obvious comments in relation to the hollowEarth. The idea is that they " dug " at one point in order to arrive there. Not that they flew over to the Mediterranean Sea, nor that they flew down to planetary systems which are below the plane of the Earth's orbit. " Dug " implies that the motion was inwards. By the way, I have posted that piece from the Brahmanda Purana on my Hollow Earth Vedic site with notes of explanation, specifically, an explanation on how such digging through the Earth's shell could have been accomplished by the princes. It is at the top as of today: http://www.skywebsite.com/hollow/vedic-hollow-earth/ Latin and Sanskrit are related, and for many centuries ( actually to the present ) the MEDI - TERRA - nean was called the 'Middle' Earth (Terra). * For convenience, I have snipped your comments about the Mediterranean and a few others. I would liketo address the comments below. Scriptures should be read theologically and realistically. They are also poetry / art, science and so many things all at once. However, we should be careful not to superimpose meanings on scriptures according to some recent pseudo- science or non-traditional speculation. * Excuse me, but I am the one who is being realistic and who has kept to the original meaning. You have imposed and speculated. I have also been hearing anti-semitic 'reptillian' alien conspiracy non-sense associated with the 'hollow Earth' / UFO / demigods and root-races ideas. In fact, someone recently asked me if Krishna was a god who came from the hollow Earth ! * The Kalki Avatar will hail from the hollow Earth. The narration about the Sons of Sagara from the Brahmanda Purana substantiates that Ayodhya, for example, is on the surface, which we all know anyway. Much of the 'Shastric' evidence for these ideas is totally mis-used, and has no such history of interpretation. * There is all kinds of nonsense and misinformation on all subjects, including philosophy. How can you group in my presentation with those other things? What do they have to do with it? Just because somebody takes the truth the wrong way doesn't diminish the validity of the truth. There are psychologists who reject the doctrine ofreincarnation like that. They say that the idea makes people lose their spirit of free will to some kind ofpre-determined acceptance ofdestiny. Does this mean that reincarnation does not exist, then? Just as with 'ARYAN' and other abused Sanskrit terms, Anglo-Germanic Racists, Muslims, New Age Neo-Gnostics and others have appropriated the terms and mis-used / corrupted them. * What does the abuse of the term " aryan " have to do with the configuration of our planet? Although you accused me off-list of indulging in this abuse, my article The Hollow Earth and the Aryan Invasion Redefined favors the terms Caucasian throughout. I did it that way so as not to offend or shut anyone out. The point that I make is that the remenents of Vedic culture, and a race which which is closely associated with that culture, happens to be situated at the door step of the opening to the hollow Earth, just above Siberia and Arctic Russia. Remember that Bal Gangadhar Tilak wrote The Arctic Home of the Vedas- it is just that he wasn't able to take the base of Vedic culture far enough North, i.e., in through the polar opening. A case in point is the term NAGA. The 'reptillian' speculators like to use references to the NAGA dynasts. They are unfamiliar with the broader language context of the word-root NG and its several meanings...NAGA Serpent, NAGA Elephant, ANGA angle (what is bent or curved), and ANGA Ankle, limb (or foot). They also don't understand that the term 'NG - foot' was used to identify an ancient people whose SPEACH was characterised by the use of the NG root for both Serpent and Foot. * Maharaj- * You are speculating a mile a minute right now. But it has no bearing on the matter of the Earth's hollow world, so I won't get involved in this one at the moment. * I have snipped your further comments on Nagas for canvenience. So, please my dear Vaishnavas, do not allow yourselves to be misled by Anglo-Germanic Aryo-sophic racists who are abusing and mis-interpreting our Scriptures to promote their insane, hateful alien conspiracy ideas. * What does this have to do with the Hollow Earth Theory? I am accepting the straightforward meaning of the scripture, you are the one who is stretching the meanings here. And how do you know that there are no alien conspiracies? I have culled a description ofthe abduction of Duryodhana which says otherwise. It is originally from the Mahabharat, but my direct source was Alien Identities. The story is posted as The Abduction of Duryodhana at the top of my Vefdic HE site: http://skywebsite.com/hollow/Vedic-Hollow-Earth/index.html If manipulation of the royal order by Danava demons was going on 5,000 years ago, what to speak of nowadays. Very intelligent mentally ill people can construct very convincing rationalizations for their paranoid delusions and fixations. * The further I read your posting, the more obvious this is becoming to me. Take an aspirin! I have presented the Hollow Earth Theory in relation to various bodies of evidence on my various sites. The different sites may beseen on the home page of my vedic HE site, same address as above. I have definitely asdressed the theme from a scientific viewpoint, i.e., physics, gravity, geology, astronomy. I am sensible and so are the hollow Earthers with whom I associate on the internet. * I will throw out one more tidbit. I have attached a NASA photograph above. It shows the atmosphere of Venus blowing out through the Southern end of the planet. It is hard to interpret the image otherwise. And as far as the Northern opening on Venus is concerned, know that there is a NASA study called " Vortex " because thereis an atmospheric whirlpool above the VenusianNorth pole- the atmosphere is getting sucked in one end and expelled out the other! Examine the photo yourself. It's NASA number is: 79-HC-46. It is all there on the Venus page of my Vedic site. I think that you have been rather fanatic, arrogant, and not very elegent.
