Guest guest Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 People, Remember the hollow earth in the Puranas theme. Consider this narration from the Bhagavat Purana, as summarized in the Krishna Book, Chapter 52, by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami. Here is one interesting piece: "After traversing a very long distance, the brothers pretended to become very tired. To mitigate Their weariness They climbed up a very high mountain several miles above sea level. This mountain was called Pravarsana due to constant rain. The peak was always covered with clouds sent by Indra. Jarasandha took it for granted that the two brothers were afraid of his military power and had hidden Themselves at the top of the mountain. First he tried to find Them, searching for a long time, but when he failed he decided to trap and kill Them by setting fires around the peak. He therefore surrounded the peak with oil and set it on fire. As the blaze spread more and more, Krsna and Balarama jumped from the top of the mountain down to the ground-- a distance of eighty-eight miles. Thus, while the peak was burning up, Krsna and Balarama escaped without being seen by Jarasandha. Jarasandha concluded that the two brothers had been burned to ashes and that there was no need of further fighting. Thinking himself successful in his efforts, he left the city of Mathura and returned to his home in the kingdom of Magadha. Gradually Krsna and Balarama reached the city of Dvaraka, which was surrounded on all sides by the sea." http://www.krsnabook.com/ch52.html Well- let´s put this into perspective. Satellites orbit at altitudes as low as 110 miles. The highest known mountain in the solar system in Olympus Mons on Mars, which is 15 miles high. But here we read of a peak on this earth towering 88 miles high. First of all, keep in mind that Shree Krishna and Balaram were avatars of Godhead, and that when Maha Vishnu was approached by the celestial being that the Hindus like to call demigods, He indicated that he would incarnate, rather descend, and the that celestial beings should take birth before Him to assist him in his pastimes. Perhaps this explains their 88 mile "jump". Anyway, focus on the description, i.e., a peak which is 88 miles high, and we´ll go from there. Anyway, on the surface of planets, we don´t see this type of geology. But what about within? Think of a geode. A geode has a fairly smooth surface, but the interior crystals are rather jagged. If the interior of the Earth follows this pattern at all, then mountains of that height are not impossible. And this personality Jarasandha? He was mentioned in the Mahabharata, (abridged version by Krishna Dharma, Torchlight Publishing. 1999, Ch. 16, p. 164): Shree Krishna said to Yudhisthira Maharaj: " You are fit in every way to perform the Rajasuya sacrifice and become the world emperor, but you will first have to overthrow the powerful Jarasandha, who has formed a near invincible alliance with numerous other monarchs. He has extended his influence and control throughout the middle portion of the earth and designs on the rest. He is the biggest stumbling block to your plans." How about that? Jarasandha was active in the hollow Earh, where the Vedic city Shamballa is located, and Krishna and His brother Balarama had a run-in with him in the vicinity of an 88 mile high mountain. This was recorded by the Hindus in the Sanskrit language, a very sophisticated language, the Hindus also being people advanced in math and algebra, calendar systems, ect., so there is something to all this. I think that the Hollow Earth Theory helps to save the Vedic literature from the mockery of sheer disbelief, disbelief in statements which seem bizarre and absurd when not understood in the light of the hollow Earth Theory.
