Maha Vishnu

Hindu scriptures offer a variety of descriptions of what lies inside the Earth. Some of these descriptions are based on observations of the natural world, while others are more mythical or fantastical.

One common theme in Hindu descriptions of the Earth’s interior is the idea of seven lokas, or “worlds.” These lokas are said to be stacked one on top of the other, like a series of concentric spheres. The seven lokas are:

• Bhuloka: The Earth realm, where humans and other mortal beings live.
• Bhuvarloka: The atmosphere realm, where the gods and demigods live.
• Swarloka: The heaven realm, where the highest gods live.
• Maharloka: The great realm, where the ancestors live.
• Janaloka: The people realm, where the great sages live.
• Tapoloka: The austerity realm, where the great yogis live.
• Satyaloka: The truth realm, where the supreme being Vishnu lives.

In addition to the seven lokas, Hindu scriptures also mention other regions inside the Earth. These include:

• Patala: The underworld, where the demons live.
• Nagaloka: The serpent realm, where the nagas (serpent-like beings) live.
• Sutala: A region of Patala where the demons are punished.
• Talatala: Another region of Patala where the demons are punished.
• Mahatala: Another region of Patala where the demons are punished.
• Rasatala: Another region of Patala where the demons are punished.
• Atala: The lowest region of Patala, where the demons live in luxury.

These are just a few of the many descriptions of what lies inside the Earth as per Hindu scriptures. These descriptions offer a glimpse into the rich and varied cosmology of Hinduism.

It is important to note that these descriptions are not meant to be taken literally. They are more like myths or parables that offer insights into the nature of reality. The Earth is a vast and mysterious place, and there is still much that we do not know about it. Hindu scriptures offer a variety of perspectives on the Earth’s interior, and they can help us to appreciate the wonder and mystery of our planet.
