Dear Members

South India and Sri Lanka .

Prabhupada's [Possible] Answer With A Touch of His Humor:

 

*>*>| The provinces passed over by the Lord in those

*>*>| days were differently named, but the direction

*>*>| given is sufficient to indicate that He traveled

*>*>| through Delhi, Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh,

*>*>| Saurastra and Gujarat and at last reached His

*>*>| home province at Dvaraka. We do not gain any

*>*>| profit simply by researching the analogous

*>*>| provinces of those days up to now, but it appears

*>*>| that the desert of Rajasthan and the provinces of

*>*>| scanty water like Madhya Pradesh were present

*>*>| even five thousand years ago. The theory of soil

*>*>| experts that the desert developed in recent years

*>*>| is not supported by the statements of Bhagavatam.

*>*>| We may leave the matter for expert geologists to

*>*>| research because the changing universe has

*>*>| different phases of geological development. We

*>*>| are satisfied that the Lord has now reached His

*>*>| own province, Dvarakadhama, from the Kuru

*>*>| provinces. Kuruksetra continues to exist since

*>*>| the Vedic age, and it is sheer foolishness when

*>*>| interpreters ignore or deny the existence of

*>*>| Kuruksetra.

*>*>|| Just a thought: since the action narrated in

*>*>|| the Ramayana took place about one and half

*>*>|| million years ago isn't it quite possible that

*>*>|| the positions of the land masses could have

*>*>|| changed considerably during that period? Why

*>*>|| would we expect to find everything exactly as it

*>*>|| was then especially when we read that King

*>*>|| Mucucunda fell asleep in one yuga and on his

*>*>|| awakening in another was surprised to see that

*>*>|| everything had gotten much smaller? Wouldn't

*>*>|| distances also get smaller?
