Dear All,

 

Our scriptures state that there are 14 lokas. Are these lokas real or just

conceptual? If they are real, where are these Lokas situated?

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

These lokas are existent. When we look at the sky the stars,sun and the moon

seem as small dots. Science also has it that there are innumerable stars that

are not even visible to the naked eye. However, when we look through a

telescope, we are able to see these far away objects more clearly, aren’t we?

In the same way, human mind, in its normal state will not be able to perceive

the other lokas. When the sensitivity of the mind increases, it will start

perceiving the artifacts that are not within its normal limits of perception.

This is called ‘divya drushti’ in Sanskrit. The mind can be made more

sensitive by proper spiritual practices.

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
