Guest guest Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 Vedic Culture Remains in the Hollow Earth In Shree Ramayana we have two scenes which are suggestive of the existence of inner areas of the Earth. After Shrimati Sitadevi had been kidnapped by Ravana, Shree Laksman swore to Rama that he would persue the rascal even if Lakshman had to chase him to the " dark hollows of the Earth." In chapter eight of Kishkindya, Rama proves his ability to Sugriva by discharging an arow which " pierced through seven palms, a rock, and the INNERMOST region of the Earth and in a minute again came back to the quiver." Now the first comment by Lakshman is not so revealing, really; we already know that huge caverns and openings exist within the Earth. Underneath the midwestern United States there is a huge aquifer, for example, which lies underneath various states. But the second comment seems to suggest not solid rock within the Earth but rather some kind of inner region. The Puranas also make mention of the hollow portion of the Earth in various narrations. One such narration tells us that, at the end of Kali Yuga, the Kalki avatar will be born in the best of Brahmin families of Shambala- a city identified in both Puranic as well as Tibetan lore as a city in the hollow Earth- and that He will anniliate the miscreants on the entire surface of the globe. Afterwards, the general Puranic version goes that men will come to the surface from below to re-colonise and re-start Vedic culture. http://skywebsite.com/hollow/Vedic-Hollow-Earth/id10.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
