The mysteries of the fifth Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam have long puzzled students of Vedic cosmography and astronomy. Confronted with a description of the universe that seems much at variance with the information provided by our senses and standard astronomical calculations, foreign observers and even Indian commentators from the middle ages up to the present have concluded that the Bhagavatam`s account elaborated in other Puranas must be mythological. On the other hand the same persons have been much impressed with vedic astronomical treatises the jyotisasastras which provide remarkably accurate measurements of the solar system.

The great eastern saint, Srila Prabhupada, did not accept the modern scientific globe understanding of the universe. He therefore instructed his followers to explain the passing seasons, the eclipses, the phases of the moon, and the passing of day and night, etc. Within the pages of this book you will find a full explanation of these matters along with many more interesting topics that have been discussed by the pure sages in the Vedas. Those interested in understanding the Truth can get light from this book.

From the perspective of Vedic scripture( commonly referred to as the Hindu scripture), the earth is flat. We are on an island called JAMBŪDVĪPA and there are more islands which are undiscovered due to our collective sinful karma. Jambudvipa itself hasn't been fully discovered yet, and we only know about a discovered part of what is called Bhārata-varṣa (which is within it). As per ISKCON founder Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada, our discovery of greater regions is as that of a bull tied to a stake, which keeps going round and round, and so we mistakenly imagine the earth as a round globe. This is primarily due to consequences of greed in us, that we feel that we are floating in space with noone else in a Godless universe. However, that isn't so. Our greed pushed us to make a magnetic compass(for example) and follow it's needle which supposedly changes with earth's magnetic field. However, the bhu-mandala ie earth plane, does not have any magnetic waves at all! Those are emitted by Rahu planet(greed/attachment/magnetism(since it attracts)) which is a shadow planet(and is the north node of the moon). The opposite of Rahu is Ketu planet(detachment/south node of the moon) forming the positive and negative axis of magnetism. So, the compass needle is actually pointing to this Rahu ketu axis of magnetism! And not the earth plane. For this reason, we keep going round and round like a bull tied to a stake, and are unable to discover the greater regions and are limited like a toad in a well, who cannot fathom the grandeur of the ocean! Come and lets journey together to know exactly how large the flat earth plane really is, and all the fantastic beings that live on it!

The ?igveda is the first book of humankind and the most sacred scripture of Hinduism. It also happens to be the most ill-understood book of our times. Despite the extensive study by academic and religious scholars, the purpose and meaning of the ?igveda and many ancient Hindu scriptures remain unclear. In this pathbreaking book, the discovery of the ?igveda as a book of ancient cosmology is described, and related to the seals of ancient Indus Valley Civilization, thereby challenging our perception of humanity."The Vedas have always been lauded as containing the secrets of cosmogenesis. Raja Roy in his remarkable book shows how this is true not only from the yogic vison but according to the latest insights of modern physics. The book takes the reader on a vast panoramic journey through the universe of matter, mind and human history as well."David Frawley (Vamadeva Shastri), Director, American Institute of Vedic Studies"Roy presents a new framework for the understanding of the Vedic hymns from the point of view of physics and then he draws parallels with recent theories on the nature of the universe. We celebrate the new path he has hewn through the bush of old scholarship."Professor Subhash Kak, Oklahoma State University

The value of the Rig Veda as a guidebook to spiritual practice has been obscured due to the heavy veil of symbols used by the Rishis to hide their meaning from the uninitiated. "Vedic Symbolism" introduces the major vedic concepts and reveals their esoteric sense.

The echoes of ancient Indian wisdom can be heard from the oldest of scriptures that existed many years ago. Even thousands of years before they were written down on palm leaves, the teachings were passed on from generations to generations, from the teachers to the disciples in their oral form. These works are amongst the oldest of humanity. They laid the foundation of one of the most tolerant and diverse religions in the world, the Sanatan Dharma or Hinduism, which is marked by a wide range of ethos and philosophical approaches. Covering the vastness and immensity of the ancient Indian scriptures is akin to capturing a gigantic ocean in a small pitcher. Thus, in this book, the author has tried to catch a few 'echoes' resonating with age-old wisdom and has presented them to the readers. the book unravels the knowledge hidden inside the Samhitas, Brahmanas, Aranyakas and Upanishads of the Shruti that form the Vedas, and in the Smriti like Agamas, Dharma Shastras and so on. In short, it provides a glimpse, or rather a macro view of the ancient treasure of India.
