Our Great Brahmanda

From Maha Vishnu, massive Universes originate and are called Brahmandas.

Deep inside them is another smaller Universe where Garbhodakasayi Vishnu resides and from His naval a lotus stem grows.

On top of that lotus stem a lotus flower manifests and is where Lord Brahma resides who builds then becomes the administrator of each inner small Universe.

Furthermore, in our Universe with its 14 Planetary Systems (each with millions of different planets in them that includes our small Earth globe) is called Bhu-Mandala

The Bhu-Mandala Universe is also known as the ''Greater Earth Mandala" which includes the entire 14 different Planetary Systems and not to be confused with our ''small Earth Mandala'' global round sphere we live on.

Therefore there are TWO Earth Mandala descriptions in Srimad Bhagavatam

1 - "The large Earth Mandala" called Bhu-Mandala which is our entire 6 billion 438 million kilometres in diameter Universe.

2 - "The small Earth Mandala" which is our round Earth global sphere which is a small Planet in space that has a diameter of 12,742 Kilometres and is in the middle Planetary System as shown in the photo of the 14 Planetary Systems which is the Bhu-Mandala Universe.

It is foolishness to think our Earth Planet is flat, such people including some fanatical less intelligent devotees are being deceived to believe in ''flat Earth'' stupidity

So the Bhu-Mandala Universe with its 14 different Planetary Systems in it is the "greater Earth Mandala" that is 6 billion 438 million kilometers in diameter.

The "smaller Earth Mandala" or our round Earth global sphere is just 12,742 kilometers in diameter therefore Earth is NOT Bhu-Mandala as the foolish believe. Sadaputa prabhu also explains our small Earth is way too small to be Bhu-Mandala.

Srila Prabhupada - ''Dvipas (islands) are planets in outer space'' (CC Madhya 20.218)

Srila Prabhupada - ''Just like here, in this planet, when you go up, you see it is ball. But when you go up you see just like a ball.” (Lectures, Bhagavad-gita 2.12, Bhagavad-gita 2.12, New York, March 9, 1966)

The circumference of our earth globe around the equator is 40,075 km and the Earth"s diameter is 12,742 km.

So NO WAY is our small Earth globe Bhu-Mandala which is way to big to be our small Earth globe which is described in Srimad Bhagavatam's 5th Canto as being -

6 billion 438 million kilometers in diameter.

And almost 20 billion kilometers in circumference.

This just happens to be the size also of our entire Universe that is deep within and surrounded by a bigger Brahmanda egg shaped Universe that comes from Maha Vishnu with billions of other in all different sizes.

Our Brahmanda is massive being 71 Quadrillion 715 Trillion 715 billion kilometers in diameter and having a circumference of almost 242 Quadrillion kilometers

What is the difference between the Earth and the Bhu-Mandala?

Our Earth we live on is a small round planet seen as a global planetary sphere and existing in one of the 14 Planetary System's that make up our Universe called Bhu-Mandala.

The Earth Mandala we live on is a "round global sphere".

The greater Earth Mandala (also called an Earth) in NOT to be confused with our small Earth globe we live on.

Bhu-Mandala is the entire expanse of Planets in outerspace spreading to a diameter of 4 billion Miles and having a circumference of 12.34 billion miles.

The small Earth Mandala we live on is a "round global sphere" and has a diameter of 7,918 miles and a circumference of 24,900 miles only.

The Bhu-Mandala planetary expanse of globes in outspace is way bigger than our small single earth globe where we live on being almost 4 billion miles in diameter and 12,340 billion miles in Circumference.

Therefore where we live (on our Earth globe) is NOT the "greater Earth Mandala" called Bhu-Mandala that some neophyte immature devotees and sannyasis and even some gurus wrongly believe.

Our small earth globe is 24,901 miles in circumference and is 7,917.5 miles in diameter.

It is NOT the Bhu-Mandala Universe described in Srimad Bhagavatam as being almost 4 billion miles in diameter and 12.34 billion miles in circumference that has our universes 14 Planetary Systems in it.

This Bhu-Mandala Universe is further surrounded on all sides and is deep within this outer Egg shaped spherical Universe called a Brahmanda.

This Brahmanda outer Universe that Bhu-Mandala Universe is deep within is made up of 7 layers of material energy such as Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Sky, Ether, Ego and Mahat tattva that is a massive 44 Quadrillion 444 Trillion 444 Billion miles in diameter.

Our 4 Billion mile diameter inner Bhu-Mandala Universe is just a spec deep with this outer Brahmanda Universal Egg shaped spherical Universe that comes from Maha Vishnu with Billions of others, all in different sizes too.

His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains our small Earth planetary global round sphere within our 4 Billion diameter Bhu-Mandala Universe as a global sphere and NOT flat as primitive minded people believed.

Srila Prabhupada - "Within this material energy there are innumerable universes, in every universe there are innumerable material planets, and the earth is one of these planets. Thus we can understand what an insignificant part of the entire cosmos is this globe on which we live''. (Light of the Bhāgavata 47)

The circumference of our earth globe around the equator is 40,075 km and the Earth's diameter is 12,742 km?

So NO WAY is our Earth Bhu-Mandala which is described in Srimad Bhagavatam's 5th Canto as being almost 7,000,000,000 km in diameter and almost 20,000,000,000 km in Circumference.

Bhu-Mandala's 14 different Planetary Systems is spread through outerspace and almost covers the full size of our small 7 billion Kilometre.

Therefore our material Universe known as Bhu-Mandala furthermore is deep within the massive surrounding Brahmanda Egg shaped Universe made up of 7 different layers of material element.

This great Brahmanda our Bhu-Mandala Universe is deep within comes from Maha Vishnu along with Billions of other Brahmandas, some bigger and smaller than ours.
