Hollow Earth in the Ramayana

" Three streams flowed towards the east while the Suchakshu, the Sita and the

Sindhu followed Bhagirath's chariot.

 

....

 

Then Ganga again began to flow in the wake of Bhagirath's car and having reached

the ocean she entered the subterranean region. "

 

Chapter 32, Balakanda section of the book.

 

I have attached the page that it is from. The idea is that the Ganges flows from

the celestial/astral regions and manifests in a physical form on this Earth. It

does this by pouring into the Vindu lake in the Himalayas or Tibet, then

flowing Northwards until the Arctic Ocean is reached, then flowing into the

subterranean region from there. I suppose that it becomes something like the

Gulf Stream, that the river passes into the opening by flowing through the

ocean in the form of a current. Maybe it is the Yinisey, or the Lena which

flows from the Ozera Baykal lake up in Tibet or Mongolia. Perhaps the Ozera

Baykal isthe Vindu lake.

 

Remember thatthe Ramayana is extremely old, hundreds of thousands of years old

according to the Hindus, and details of a time which was closer to the

beginning of the cycle of four yugas than to now. So it is hard to know

exactly what is being referred to, although I am thinking that one fo these

rivers which passes from the Tibet/Hamalayan area is the Northern course of the

Ganges, the Ganges is not supposed to exist only in India according to this

narration of the Ramayana.

 

At any rate, there it is- the hollow portion of the earth is mentioned, and

access to it through the Arctic Ocean is mentioned, just as in the Brahmanda

Purana which directly mentions an access in this ocean to the " madhyatah," the

hollow earth.
