THE UNIVERSAL FORMULA by Mayesa dasa Chapter One I offer my obeisance’s to His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, my spiritual master. Some years ago I was planning a trip to India. I was informed by a devotee Godbrother, Bhima dasa that preparation for the Temple of understanding was underway. He asked if I should like to participate while in India. I jumped at the chance knowing my spiritual masters desire to create a Vedic planetarium. Like most of my Godbrothers I knew nothing of any magnitude regarding Vedic cosmology. After spending time with His Divine Grace Danavir Gosvami and his team of researchers I became evermore desirous of breaking what I had come to believe was a mathematical code in the 5th canto of Srimad Bhagavatam Purana. Morning Walk December 17, 1973 Los Angeles, California Srila Prabhupada: In Bhagavatam there is regular calculation what is the distance from one planet to another. I hereby present my findings. Background Before tackling the formula for the planetary distances a little background will be helpful to the reader. We find the formula for calculating the distances to the planets in the 5th canto of Srimad Bhagavatam. The 5th canto begins with a description of Maharaja Priyavatta creating Bhuhalasva. Bhuhulasva is a division of seven islands and seven oceans. The central island is named Jambudvipa. Jambudvipa is surrounded by the first circular ocean. In this way there are six more concentric circles of land and six oceans between each circular island. We cannot assume that these divisions only exist for a short time but rather that they exist in every day of Brahma. This means that 5th canto recounts Maharaja Priyavatta recreating these seven islands and seven oceans after what is called the partial deluge. It is described there Maharaja Priyavatta creating a special chariot for digging out the boundaries which shall make up Bhuhulasva. This suggests that Bhuhulasva is either only created once or that Bhuhulasva had been destroyed temporarily and had to be recreated or re-subdivided. Here are some verses from various Puranas describing the situation of Bhuhulasva during the partial deluge and describing Bhuhulasva being lifted into place by Lord Varaha at that time. Srimad Bhagavatam canto 1 Chapter 13 text 15 Commentator AC Bhaktivedanta ...but Sri Jiva Gosvami has given definite proofs from authoritative scriptures (like Visnu-dharmottara, markandeya purana, harivamsa,etc ) that there is always a devastation after the end of each and very Manu.... Skanda Purana part IV page 207 Publisher Motilal Banarsidass Towards the close of a day of Brahma o son of Pandu, a terrible drought lasting for a hundred years befalls the earth.... At that time the sun will be endowed with ray that will resemble fire... With the villages, cities, mountains, trees, forests, etc perished, the earth then becomes comparable with the back of a tortoise. It will resemble a red-hot ball of fiery iron. Then from the limbs of the creator great clouds will issue forth... With that great water the great fire caused by the sun will be extinguished. That water poured down by the clouds at the close of the kalpa spreads to all the worlds. A dense darkness envelops the worlds of Bhuh, Bhuvah, Svah and Mahah. The earth sunk under water goes down to the bottom of the nether worlds.It does not perish... When the night passes off, he gets up quickly and as before creates all the creatures at the behest of Hari. Srimad Bhagavatam canto 3 chapter 13 text 18 - O sinless Vidura, all of a sudden, while Brahma was engaged in thinking, a small form of a boar came out of his nostril... Padma Purana Part 1 page 20 Motilal Banarsidass publisher - Having lifted up the earth (from the ocean) with its fang rose like a great blue mountain...the highest soul, who had held the earth, being thus praised, put it in the great ocean. The earth remained over it like a boat in a stream of water. The beginingless Supreme Being, then having flattened the earth, piled the mountains on it according to (its) divisions. Then having accurately divided the earth into seven divisions, he conceived the four worlds bhuh etc. as before. Mahabharata SectionSanti Parva Section CCCXLVI page 177 Translation by Gangula - Nara and Narayana said, The earth, in days of yore, with her belt of seas, disappeared from the view, Govinda, assuming the form of a gigantic boar, raised her up (with his mighty tusk) Varaha Purana Part 1 Chapter 89 Motilal banarsidass publisher - Then in this broad earth forming part of the expansive universe, these are the regions enumerated. In every aeon Lord Narayana assumes the form of a boar and raises it up by a tusk and restores it to its original position. There are many more such verses. (We learn that not only our earthly planet but the whole of bhuhulasva is burnt and is covered by water during the partial devastation. We learn that after that period bhuhulasva is lifted back into place by the lord Varaha and divisions of bhuhulasva are restored. In some case a person such as maharaja Priyavatta will restore them and in other cases lord Varaha digs them out. I have left off those verses.) Bhuhulasva The circumference of these seven oceans and seven islands is 640,884,901.3 miles. (We calculate a yojana as eight miles) Sun In the 12th chapter of 5th canto of Srimad Bhagavatam we are given the length of the suns chariot. My dear king, the carriage of the sun-gods chariot is estimated to be 3,600,000 yojanas [28,800,000 miles] long... Not only the sun but also other planets are described as chariots. Matsya Purana Chapter CXXVII - Suta said:-I shall now relate to you about the chariots of the stars and planets...the chariot of Budha (Mercury, the son of the Moon) is brilliant and white.—1 It is drawn by ten horses... Matsyamahapuranam Nag Publishers If we take what is termed chariot as the greatest distance the sun travels in a muhurta (48 minutes) then we can multiply the number of muhurtas in a day (30) by 28,800,000 which gives us 864000000. Coincidentally there are 86400 seconds in a day. In 5th canto Srimad Bhagavatam 12th chapter we find other measurements for the sun. 8,640,000,000 is the circumference of the sun at 23.5 degrees approximately. The Formula There is a verse in the 5th canto chapter 12 text 14 - As in an oil-pressing machine, the first axle is attached to a second axle, which is one-fourth as long [3,937,500 yojanas, or 31,500,000 miles]. The upper end of this second axle is attached to Dhruvaloka by a rope of wind. Background The number 31,500,000 is the suns axle. The number 640,884,901.3 is the circumference of bhuhulasva. The number 31,500,000 contains within it the distance from the earth (1,600,000) 1,600,000 must be added to the figure 640,884,901.3 This will become clear as we proceed. Here is the formula to derive the distance and movement of the sun. Step one - 31,500,000 / ((640,884,901.3 + 1,600,000 ) / 360 )) = 17.65022023 Step Two - 17.65022023 X 1577917828 = 2785059716... Divide by 100 = 278505971.6 In the case of the sun we know that its circumference is 864,000,000. Subtract 278,505,971.6 from 864,000,000 = 724,747,014.2 Now we can draw two different kinds of diagrams to show what we have found. We see plainly that the sun appears to move away from earth as it journeys to the south. Modern science does not know of this movement. This would also require the sun to grow in size so that it does not appear smaller when it moves away from earth. And it would require that the clouds around the sun are water drawn there in molecular form, which will be expelled later. This means the sun draws water for six months expanding in size and contracts for six months expelling water. Matsyapuranam Chapter CXXV Published by Nag publishers - The sun from his position draws water of Dhruva in molecular form, remains in the bodies of various beings, and goes out in every direction in the form of smoke... This (smoke) forms itself into clouds. The sun is the centre of clouds. he absorbs the water by his bright rays...Such rain falls for six months for the good of the creation. The sun established by Dhruva is the creator of rain. End Part One of Chapter one The Universal Formula © 2014 Microsoft Terms Privacy & cookies Developers English (United States)
