The Vedas explain many topics, including the soul, metaphysics, God, and superior beings living in higher planetary systems. Most of these topics can't be proven or disproven by modern science since they are outside the realm of experimentation. One can make experiments only with things or beings that are lower than himself. One can freely experiment with inanimate matter or even with animals, but one can't experiment with beings that are more powerful than him. A researcher may experiment with rats and rabbits, but he can't make experiments with the president of the United States, for example. Unless he would agree to come and be experimented upon, the researcher would be baffled. Similarly, one can't make experiments with God: or he accepts the conditions set up by Him, or he will not get anything.
Science is based on experimentation and therefore is by design not an effective tool for getting knowledge about God, the soul, or higher beings, as well as subtler entities or higher levels of reality that are beyond our sense perception. These are topics that will always remain out of the reach of modern researchers. One may accept or not the Vedas, but the fact is that there is no other source that gives detailed knowledge about these topics. That's an area where the Vedas have a monopoly we can say.
There is however a part of Vedic knowledge that overlaps with modern science: cosmology. The Vedas give knowledge about the structure of the universe, as well as important historical events that can be proven or disproven by experimentation.
This is quite an interesting point because if it's proved that the cosmological knowledge of the Vedas is correct, this makes a very strong case that everything else in the Vedas is correct, including all the spiritual knowledge. However, if the cosmological knowledge from the Vedas can be disproved by modern science, this makes an equally strong case that everything else in the Vedas may be incorrect, and everything may be actually just a big fantasy.
The British in India did a very good job of discrediting the Puranas with their spurious translations and false propaganda, to the extent that even most Indians believe that the Puranas are just myths. As a result, other parts of the Vedas are also not taken seriously and people are deprived of the spiritual knowledge they contain. Once the Puranas are discredited, people automatically become skeptical about the knowledge from the Bhagavad-Gita and other books of spiritual knowledge.
The problem with the cosmology of the Puranas is that it offers a description of the world that is different from our sense perception. It's not easy to understand and even harder to harmonize with recent cosmological discoveries. Many read the 5th canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam and get under serious doubts.
I have been studying the Vedas, and especially the books of Srila Prabhupada since 1992, and the enigmatic descriptions of the Universe offered in the 5th canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam are a topic that always intrigued me. However, over the years I started to better understand it, helped by the research of Sadhaputra Prabhu, Drutakarma Prabhu, and many others.
This video is the first part of a new series where I will try to share what I learned about this topic over the years and try to offer simple and inclusive explanations of how to make sense of the cosmological knowledge of the Puranas. As a bonus we will study how modern science is actually corroborating the knowledge from the Srimad Bhagavatam, which is quite amazing, considering that the Puranas were written more than 5000 years ago.
How the sages of ancient times were able to give dates for the creation of the solar system, as well as the creation of the universe itself, also identifying precise dates to extinction events whose dates were discovered only recently by modern researchers is a question that modern scientists still have to answer.
Our Holy Bible is a Flat Earth Book, but so is Vedic cosmology. Shrimad Bhagavatam 5th Canto is not a heliocentric science, indeed It is a Giocentric science. Dhruva Loka, A.K.A Polaris the North Star is directly above the North Pole and is completely stationary with the Constellations Carouseling around It. Time Zones proves Flat Earth.
No Grahas (planets) are mentioned in the shastra as our Earth or as these inhabited realms. Lokas are mentioned. Lokas mean realms and planes. We live on a flat plane. Also Lord Brahma lives on a plane, not a spinning ball in space. Brahma Samhita should be taken literally. Krishna doesn't live on a ball, upside down sticking to it. So foolish to imagine it like that. Krishnaloka is not a planet. That is why it is not called Krishnagraha. Read the Sanskrit verses carefully. Krishnaloka resembles a lotus flower that is surrounded by an ocean of milk.
Loka also means Location.
i follow vedic hinduism... i moslty worship agni, indra, mitra and varuna.😊
🙏🙏🙏Congratz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thankyou for your video prabhu. The model you showed reminds me of the biblical version of Earth with the fermament. (note all vieo's of a heliocentric earth in space are CGI, not real)
Hare Krishna 🙏❤️🙂
Your presentation is very nice. The music is not helpful. It makes it seem like a sentimental presentation and does not enhance what you are trying to present. I cannot even listen to your whole presentation because you are mixing devotional. Prayers and it does not mix well with the topic. And I have been in the line myself for 40 years. So I’m speaking with experience.
Subscribed and liked! Waiting for the next parts also Prabhuji. Hare Krishna!
This is very interesting, thank you very much. I cannot comprehend all of it at once, but I have some idea of this. Subscribed to hear more.
Love light
Hare krishna prabhuji .
Where can i get this chart please help
One question - How can Zeus be Krishna?
Hi there!! Thank you so much for your videos!!! Would you please take a look at the channel NOS CONFUNDEN, they have these new maps that remind me so much of Vedic Cosmology. I am wondering what their angle is on this. Thank you!!
Thank you for the video!
Interesting content but music is distracting
Is there cosmology without the heliocentric lie involved?
Please see Caitanya bhagavata madhya chapter 3 21-23
Just to re-emphasize the point. Save the music. Do the presentation. This is not a topic to mix sentimental devotional singing with.
PAMHO. The Maha mantra in the background is too high. Difficulty to focus in your voice. Hari bol
The earth is not flat.
Just and example: In Mahabharata there is no mention of the Paṇḍavas crossing from a globe-shaped Earth to the mainland of Jambudvip. They just kept travelling north on our flat Earth plane from India and reached Gandhamadana Mountain on Jambudvip.
Vedic cosmology is so intriguing, and I like it! 🌌
Very interesting content. Only the background music is too loud. Baie dankie for lovely video.
Can you please share more information now and from where to buy original texts ? Which texts are good translations ?
Banu Swami did a number of good translations, but the best are undoubtedly the books from Prabhupada. There is free access on: vedabase.com/
@@CaitanyaChandraDasa and any direction on how to find original vedas, shastras and puranas ?
I am assuming you focus on studying translations , please correct me if I am wrong.
@@aashkashah3 gita press, chokhmaba se kharid le..
Yog vasistha, se suru kariye..
@@aashkashah3 I struggle to find good translations, just like everyone else. Much of what I do is based on the comments of great acaryas on the Vaishnava line. I found it's more reliable.
Hare krishna prabhuji
Dandwand pranam🙏🙏🙏
Extraordinary presentation...i am into krishna consciousness and you are quenching my thirsy about science and vedas..thanks a lot🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏please continue the series and spread your knowledge about our shastras and science🙏🙏🙏🙏
Is there an explanation as to why the Vedic literature describes the diameter of the universe as so much smaller than the distance of what astronomers call the visible universe?
I will discuss this in future videos. In short, it seems the distance increases exponentially the further we go. Therefore, from our point of view the Vedic Universe is practically speaking infinite.
@@CaitanyaChandraDasa There is no such thing as a light year, light disapates, just like any other wave.
@@CaitanyaChandraDasa you really don't know what your talking about.
Astronomy is fake. Astrology real.
2 part please
Beautiful! Great to see you come back with a new series!
Don't waste time trying to "understand" this rubbish model. Ridiculous. This is written by people who had no understanding of the structure of the universe. Shows how many deluded people are there in 2024.
Here it is the year 2024 and ISKCON still thinks we live on a ball. How crazy is that?
That is because they disregard the Sanskrit slokas. For example there are no scriptural reference that Lord Varaha lifted any type of ball. On the other hand is is clearly stated in the Srimad Bhagavatam 3.13.4: Ca saukaram BHU-MANDALE natha data dhrtena te - In the form of a boar you lifted Bhu-mandala on your tusk.
@@krishnasvedicflatearth126 The ancient Antikytera mechanism is a Giocentric Flat Earth, Sun, Moon, Plane-it and ZODIAC CLOCK Calendar. The Astrolabes, Sextons, Compasses, lighthouse and Radar all only work on a flat and stationary plane. A year or so back the Himalayan mountain range was filmed from a passenger plane flying over Dubai, that's over 2,000 miles of no curvature. The Nikon p1000 is a scientific instrument that proves Beyond any shadow of a doubt that the curvature of the earth cannot be measured because the curvature of the earth simply does not exist. The curvature calculation of 8in per mile Squared is Bogas. You simply cannot take all the Flat places known on earth and create a circumference of 24,901 miles. The math is simple.
@@krishnasvedicflatearth126 The Flat Earth Awakening (which is growing exponentially) is a Truth that ISKCON must come to terms with.
@@krishnasvedicflatearth126 Blue Water Bay , The Flat Earth, Sun, Moon and ZODIAC CLOCK APP, there you will find hundreds of videos about the ancient science of Flat Earth.
@@murliwatkins2682 If I ever get a chance (funds for it) to open a Temple or preaching center, Flat Earth cosmology will be shown there under the name of ISKCON so we may get one step closer to establish it in the movement.
I love the Puranas and Vedic Philosophy, and I appreciate you and your comments and videos, I just subscribed. Congratulations to you and for the high quality of the videos and your dedication, and I look forward to seeing the continuity of your videos.
Yes, I plan to continue this series, it's just that it;s a huge job, and currently I have been a little stranded in terms of free time.
Namaste Prabhu, thank you for your wonderful videos. Would you mind sharing the name of the background music you have used in this video and whether it is publicly available? It sounds very nice.
It's a kirtan from Jahnavi Harryson. You should be able to find here on youtube
Fantastic work, Hare Krishna! Thank you Prabhu, so much looking forward to the series to accompany with my readings....
You are most welcome! :-)
Lokaloka mountain is like a wall isn't?
Yes, almost like a circular wall
What I'm confused about is whether the earth rotates around the sun or the sun around the earth? I don't know if it's explicitly clear in the Bhagavatam, but I know in the Rig Veda and Surya Siddhanta, the earth rotates around the sun. Can you please clear this up for me? 🕉️🌎
Sun around earth
@@TheBasskult it says that in the Bhagavatam, yes... but what about the other scriptures?
@@2shivsparks about other scriptures you should look into it I don't know.. I was simply telling you about what is in reality ;)
It seems there is a difference on how it works in our dimension and on the dimension of the demigods
Beautiful, I have been meditating on the 5TH for years now
Nice
