Musings On Tilak's Book

[Guest guest]

List Members,

 

Bal Gangadhar Tilak, in his book Arctic Home of the Vedas, felt that the

location of the speaker of some of those hymns from the Rig Veda had to be

the high Arctic, so close to the Pole that one day of the " gods " was equal

to six months.

 

To tell the truth, this suggests that the inhabitants of the hollow portion

were perceived as gods to the surface inhabitants. I don't have a problem

with that. In the Vedic literature, this term " gods" is thrown around to

refer to a variety of beings. there are gods like Brahma and Shiva who live

for the whole existence of the creation, it is their realm for a life time.

And the inhabitants of the Moon are also refered to as gods, and that they

have a duration of life of 10,000 years. Nothing like the life span of

Brahma and Shiva, yet they are called Gods.

 

I think that this is largely a confusion of the post Vedic period. I see in

the Bhagavat Purana that the planets which orbit the Sun are collectively

referred to, in the plural, as " Earths." So when they spoke of Earthly

existence, they were referring to something broader than what we usually

consider to be earthly existence.

 

But the residents of the Moon, who live on the Earthly plane, have also been

referred to as gods of some type. I think that the body of literature which

we call Vedas contains different concepts which were understood at different

times and that, compared to what life became on the surface after the canopy

fell, after the deluge, the inhabitants of the hollow portion of our own

planet came to be considered gods because of their height, life span,

memories and technology.

 

So there are some comments in the Vedas regarding one day being six months

long at the abode of the gods, and that Mount Meru is there. Mount Meru is

supposed to stretch through the universe up to the abode of the gods above

the Big Dipper and PoleStar.

 

Well, there is no mount Meru in the Arctic, not like that. But there is a

mountainous land mass which was seen by Peary, Cook and MacMillan/Green. It

must be way down on the downward-sloping portion of the entrance. I have an

account of the sighting by Mac Millan in Ring Around the Opening:
