Vedic Cosmology – The Planets of the Material Universe

The cosmology and cosmography of the antiquated Vedas is stunning most definitely. The more “present day” of the Vedic messages are known to start from around 3000 B.C., in this way being the most established logical and strict teachings known to man. The depictions of our nearby planet group and what current cosmology has found of the noticeable universe compares with the antiquated Vedic information, demonstrating that man has had progressed information on stargazing for millennia before our cutting edge civilization started. This article portrays the Vedic form of planetary frameworks from the highest, everlasting planets down through the brief planetary frameworks inside countless universes of this material world.

While saying “vast appearance” we talk about two separate universes, the profound and the material. The profound planetary frameworks are timeless, past the restrictions of the material universes, and have a place with a “very layered” or “hostile to material” aspect. These are past the restrictions of material reality and thusly past our vision, or powers of discernment. In these planetary frameworks there is no event of creation or disintegration, and these planets are limitless, indestructible, and forever existing. There are depictions of these profound planets in the vedic writings, yet this article focuses on those inside the material universe.

The material planetary frameworks are made eventually in time and will be annihilated at another. They are limited by the impacts of existence. Both of these energies (otherworldly and material) are of a similar heavenly source called “brahmajyoti”, the profound light. Around 1/fourth of this brahmajyoti is covered by the “mahat-tattva”, the material energy, where are tracked down incalculable material universes. The 3/fourth piece is the everlasting otherworldly sky. In the profound world are two domains of presence, “Goloka-dhama” and “Hari-dhama”. The material world has one domain called “Devi-dhama”.

Goloka-dhama is the highest planet and home of the Incomparable Godhead Sri Radha-Krishna. Beneath this is Hari-dhama where the profound planets of the Vaikunthalokas are arranged. Beneath the Vaikuntha planets is “Mahesh-dhama” (likewise called Sadasivaloka, or the home of Master Siva). This is the domain partitioning the otherworldly from the material universes. Beneath Mahesh-dhama is Devi-dhama, the domain of the material universe. It is said that the frameworks of yoga offer various objections. Bhakti yoga guides one toward entering Hari-dhama or Goloka-dhama. Jnana yoga guides the hopeful toward access to Mahesh dhama, and karma yoga guides one to stay in Devi-dhama, encountering rehashed birth and passing in the material universes.

The Planetary Frameworks of Devi-Dhama

In the Bhagavad-Gita we find an explanation that there are three divisions of material planets in our universe. They are “urdhva-loka” (most elevated), “madhya-loka” (center), and “adho-loka” (lower). Over the urdhva-lokas are the covers of the material universe past which lie the everlasting domains of presence. Inside these three circles of presence are 14 primary planetary frameworks with various principles of life and span of presence. The inhabitants of the upper three frameworks have practically no sickness or maturing of the body, and they have no clue of dread. As the planetary frameworks progress descending there is lesser term of life and way of life, as well as a more prominent indication of infection and nervousness.

In one of the Vedic sacred writings called the “Hari-vamsa” there is a depiction as follows: “Over the planetary frameworks where people live is the sky. Over the sky is the circling sun, which is the entry point of the great planetary frameworks. This is the center of the universe where starts the planets of those raised by incredible starknesses and atonements. The planets over these, up to Satya-loka are the homes of those exceptional in profound information. This large number of planets are inside the material world and heavily influenced by Devi (Goddess Durga), and subsequently called Devi-dhama.”

The expression “amara” (deathless) is frequently used to portray the occupants of the grand planets in light of the fact that their range of life is unfathomable to us, however despite the fact that they live for a long period of time according to our observation, none inside the material universes can live here everlastingly. In Bhagavad-Gita there is given a depiction for the life expectancy of those living on Satyaloka. One day is equivalent to 4,300,000,000 sun powered years. On other eminent planets the day is considered to rise to a half year within recent memory, and the night likewise equivalent to a half year on the planet. These spirits live in their bodies for 10 million of their years.

Time term like day, night, months, and years are different in various planetary frameworks, and there are additionally various kinds of people, creatures, trees, and vegetation. A portion of the planets that are noticeable to us are viewed as grand planets with various timings. Jupiter, Venus, and the Moon are instances of planets where one day is equivalent to a half year on the planet. How is that possible, one might ask, when we can see these planets circling the Sun?

One perspective that might be challenging for some to comprehend is vital to this acknowledgment. All planets have various aspects encompassing them. The element of presence apparent to our eyes gives us the feeling that different planets in our planetary group are generally essentially dead. In reality stargazers have tracked down verification of canny life on different planets, no matter what the way that little is yet open information. The domain noticeable by our actual eyes, however, can’t go into the superb circles of these planets where devas, heavenly messengers, and higher creatures exist, nor even that of people who partake in a presence infinitely better to what is reachable on our planet earth.

Comparably on and encompassing earth there are domains of presence possessed by ethereal creatures undetectable to our eyes, some exceptionally progressed and others limited by lamentable conditions (like apparitions), all planets have various circles of presence. We can never acquire information on the complex reality on earth with our actual eyes, so how is it that we could hope to go into the higher real factors of different planets with them?
