Hollow Planets, Venera 9, And The Bhagavatam

July 5, 2003

This picture of Venus, taken by the Venera 9 space probe lander, corresponds to astronomer's typical descriptions of the planet- that it is a lifeless desert. Does such a description invalidate the Puranic desriptions of life on other planets, including the ones along " Bhu Mandala," the plane of the Earth's orbit, our solar system?

Maybe the question really is, can we trust this picture? The Venera 9 lander passed through an upper atmosphere in which clouds swirl around at 360 kilometers per hour, and reported a surface temperature of 900* F. We are assured that the lander carried an ample cooling system for its mission, but we all may want to ask what material the parachute was made of! It opened up at 60 kilometers above the surface of the planet. Even assuming that the craft was able to parachute through the 360 kilometer per hour winds, the question remains: What could that parachute have been made of that it did not melt nor burn during a 60 kilometer descent at 900*F? NASA ( Never A Straight Answer ) seems to have met its match in the Russian space agency.

The Bhagavat Purana paints a different description of the planet. In the ninth canto, 18th chapter, a narration describes the activities of Devayani, the daughter of Shukra- the predominating deity of the Venus. According to the Puranic descriptions, the predominating deity of the planet is the soul personified of the planet. Therefore, we can assume that this particular story takes place on Venus, in one dimension of existence or existence or another. But regardless, life is described as existing on all the planets in the Puranic literature.

There, a palace garden is described full of lotuses, and trees of flowers and fruits, inhabited by sweetly singing birds and bumble bees. It is described that lotus-eyed girls took a walk along the bank of a reservoir. At one point in the narration, Shukra-Acharya, Devayani's father, made a comment about grains in the field. According to this description, Venus seems to harbor life as on Earth. But actually, the Puranas propose even more than that as Venus is deemed to be a heavenly planet.

Does any support exist of such Puranic descriptions? The following NASA photograph of Venus, number: 79-HC-46, seems to do so. (Note: This picture was culled out of NASA files by Jan Lamprecht and appears in his book "Hollow Planets." Both the picture as well as the following arguments are directly from Jan's book http://www.hollowplanets.com).

The reader will notice how the curvature of the planet's atmosphere changes as his/her eye approaches the Southern pole. Two, rounded, twirling, cloud billows are obvious, but there actually seem to be more than two. They superimpose themselves upon the Southern extremity and elongate the atmosphere. Venus does, in fact, experience a rising and falling of its atmosphere by as much as 1.1%. That represents a huge expansion given the fact that the diameter of the Venusian globe is 7,700 miles. Could the expansion of the Venusian atmosphere and the billowing at the poles be a symptom of the planet's breathing through polar holes?

Is there additional evidence of polar holes? For starters, astronomers tell us that the cloud levels above the Venusian polar regions are 15 kilometers lower than those of the rest of the planet. Is this depression indicative of atmosphere being sucked into Venus, just as the cloud billows superimposed on the South pole indicate a huge updraft? Does Venus have vortices at the poles?

On the 29th of March, 1873, W.F. Denning observed a depression in the polar regions which he described as looking like a " small " crater. Did Denning see a phenomenon caused by a Polar hole? In the early 1970s this depression was seen again by a number of British and American astronomers. Another phenomena seen and even photographed by NASA space craft is the polar " collar. " This is a ring which surrounds the polar regions. Could this collar be linked to the existence of Polar holes on Venus?

Do the warmth and brightness of the Venusian poles tell a tale of polar openings? ( Lipstick on your collar? ) The infrared radiometer on the Pioneer Venus Orbiter discovered enlongated dipoles ( slits ) at the poles, 4,000 miles across, stretching down as far as 70* latitude. According to Schubert, it is a temperature feature, and it is bright. There are other observations of an inordinate amount of brightness at the Venusian polar caps. Could this be something produced by interior illumination from within Venus?

But the strangest sighting of Venus ever made was that by the very famous and respected German astronomer, Maedler in the 1800's. He once observed Venus as looking like a comet! His drawing of Venus showed two beams of light emanating from both its polar regions. These beams of light were pointed towards the Sun, and gave Venus the appearance of a comet with two tails! At the time Maedler conducted several tests by changing eye-pieces, and moving his telescope to ensure that what he was seeing was real. It remains to this day the strangest sighting ever made of this planet.

So there is a varied base of evidence which reinforces the theory of polar openings on Venus. But once we accept that Venus breathes through polar openings, and that the interior of the planet is the ultimate source of the billowing and atmospheric elongation which we observe in the photo of the Venusian atmosphere, our next question is: Where does the expelled atmosphere go? This powerful torrent ends up being deflected in the direction in which the planet is rotating. This can be seen in the picture in the form of a dark streak ( ultraviolet ) which originates in the South Polar cloud twirls, in our picture, and then streaks around the planet and lines itself around the equator. It is joined by a similar dark streak from above. This is the source of the famous Y formation on Venus.

Thus we have seen how, armed with a photograph and some supporting data, it is possible to establish strong arguments in favor of a hollow Venus which defy any arguments against. The long standing enigma of the Y marking on Venus has been explained to boot. A couple of other Venusian enigmas, such as the elongated horns and irregular cusps, are easily explained by the Hollow Planets Theory, and the existence of these anomalies is even supportive of the Hollow Planets Theory. These enigmas are explained much more strongly and completely Jan Lamprecht's book Hollow Planets. www.hollowplanets.com

If Jan Lamprecht, a computer professional in South Africa, can develop such brilliant deductions from the little bit of data which makes it through NASA censorship, then how much more must NASA really know? Why is it that Venus has been entirely mapped by radar except for the poles? Even commercial globes of Venus, made available to the amateur astronomical community, simply show flatness at the polar regions, places where inordinate illumination is observed, where the cloud level dips, where huge depressions have been observed with high rims around them, areas into which the gibbous horns of the dark side of Venus project themselves in an off-balance manner, which are the origins of vortices and which are the origin of wind patterns that cover the Venusian globe. Maybe the Russian space agency hasn't bested NASA after all, though it might be a tie.

The conclusions are obvious, though Krishna bhaktas, as well as all sympathizers of Vedic dharma, do have a special conclusion in the light of the Puranic descriptions of civilisation on other planets such as the one which we have just read- That no one can deny the possibility of an advanced, human civilisation on or inside of Venus until the interior of the planet has been peered into, and not by NASA or any Russian space agency.
