Division of Globe in ancient Indian Literature

King Priyavratha had seven sons, says Indian Puraana. Each of them had names or Synonyms of Agni/Fire. The Globe was divided into seven Islands (Sapthadweepa) floating in Milky ocean (Paalaazhi/Sudhasindhu) and each island was ruled by the seven sons or seven Agni. Island (Dweepa) King (Son of Priyamvada ) seven Agni Gods 1 Jambhu Dweepam Agneendhran 2 Plaksha Dweepam Idhmadwajan 3 Salmali Dweepam Yajnabaahu 4.Kusa Dweepam Hiranyarethas 5.Krouncha Dweepam Ghritha Prishtan 6. Saaka Dweepam Methaathithi 7 Pushkara Dweepam Veethihothran

Annie Besant and Madame Blavatsky had identified these Islands as different continents . Dweepam Annie Besant Madame Blavatsky Jambu Asia Eurasia Plaksha South America South America Salmali Australia Australia Kusa Oceania Oceania Krouncham Africa Africa Sakam Europe Atlantis Pushkaram North America North America According to Blavatsky, Plaksham,Kusam,Salmali and Krouncham had been immersed under the sea for a very long time and surfaced again and Sakam is at present the submerged legendary Atlantis .A part of the Saka dweepa called the swetha(white)dweepa or Shetland is the present day Greenland and part of Siberia according to her. But Bhavishyapurana of India says that Swethadweepa is beyond the salty sea (Lavanasamudra) and Maga Brahmins of this land had built a great temple for Sun God for the sake of Sambha, son of Krishna in Jambavathi ( of the Riksha race of South India).Riksha race and Jambavan its chief is considered as the earliest inhabitant of the human race and he lived in South India .Thr Riksha Raaja or the Great Bear family is the race of Jambavan of South India. From Ramayana to Mahabharatha period this great Race of Riksha, Jaambavaan was existing in India. Maya is the generic name of people of Saka Dweepa ( Atlantis according to Blavatsky) according to Indian scriptures. Maya is the great Architect and Astronomer of Asuraas of Sakadweepa, while Viswakarma is the architect of Jambudweepa. The resemblance of the word Asuraas and Azoras ( where legendary Atlantis stood) and the use of same word Maya for builders of this area in India and in American languages has to be seriously considered. Maya was the father of Mandodari, consort of Ravana of Sri Lanka during Ramayana periods. During Mahabharatha period also a person from Maya race was in India, who built the Mayasabha for King Yudhishtira. Sounakahora, an ancient Astronomy text speaks of Maya as a Guru in science of Astronomy and that he instructed sage Viswamithra on certain aspects of Astronomy. According to all Indian texts Maya had his original abode in Romakapura in Athalaantham ( at the end of Athalam) and Atlantic ocean gets its name from this Sanskrit word Athalaantham . Romakasidhantha , is a Lunisolar Astronomy which is attributed to Maya Asura . These subaltern legends and similarities in names suggest that India and Americas had sea trade and contacts in very ancient period. Puranic division of Jambudweepa
16

Jambudweepa has nine parts. Between the two poles run Mount Meru or Mahaameru and around it the Arctic Ilaavritham.Around Meru are the Bhaarathavarsha,Hiranmayavarsha,Ramyakavarsha on one side, Kethumaala and Bhadraswam on the other. The orthographic Map (Fig 1) shows this division.Tropical landmasses above the equator ,spreading almost 270 degrees on the globes surface , around the Equator represent the Jambudweepa. In this way, Indian scriptures consider Indians,Lankans,Atlanteans and other people of other continents as sons of Priyamvada, the Indian Emperor .All belong to the same race of Priyamvada, and the firstborn son of Priyamvada, Agneendhra . In some of the Puranas Jambudweepa is in the shape of a Lotus (Figure 2). When Atlantis sank people of Jambudweepa also submerged because at that time these were continuous landmasses in the Tropical belt.When they separated Plakshadweepa and survived parts of Jambudweepa lost connections for some time .People from Plakshadweepa and Romakapura of lost Athalantha who were at that time separated from their original home have histories of such lost tribes. (Readers Digest .Last mysteries of the world .Voyage to Atlantis) In Indian Purana, one of the lost tribes was Malyavaan with his brothers Maali and Sumaali and they were in South India .Malyavans daughter Kaikasi was married as second wife to sage Visravas of the Pulasthya clan and from that wedlock were born Ravana,Kumbhakarna,Vibheeshana and Soorppanagha (Ramayanam period) and no wonder Ravana married Mayas daughter Mandodari from Atlantis when theycould reestablish connections. Mandodari was a girl from Ravanas mothers tribe, daughter of a Mayan , a native of Azorez.Thus Indian scriptures state that oceanic contact and intermarriages existed between people of Americas and India /Srilanka. Both Indians and Mayans have Astronomical traditions and architectural traditions . Skandahora divided the globe into four equal parts of 90 degree each.They are named Bhogavathi,Samyam,ani,Sidhavathi and Romavathi.Then the globe is divided into a sixpointed star (Shanmugha a synonym of Skanda/Muruka) each consisting of 60 degrees. (Fig 3). This division when computed to the division of globe given by Varahamihira (Fig 4) gives shape of a tortoise (Koormavibhaga of Parasara and other ancient astronomers) .The figure also shows the route taken by Arjuna when he travelled all over the world during Mahabharatha , which corresponds to early Harappan and Indus valley times. Kimpurusha varsha is aname which gave rise to the word Russia later on. Ramyakavarsha is possibly China.According to Garggasamhitha Hari (Mahavishnu) once incarnated in Swethadweepa as emperor of that continent
17

and thus that part where he incarnated came to be known as Harivarsha .Beyond Gujrath , in the land of Kekaya (where Bharatha , incarnated )lies Kekaya , and its nearby lands called Harivarsha. Rgveda mentions division of globe by the Ribhus.Rishi Vamadeva does not know the exact day or date on which the division was first done.(Ch 8.sooktha 51.Mandala 1.Rg).The first Ribhu divided the globe into two equal halves of 180 degree.Vibhu, the second Ribhu,divided it into 3 parts of 120 degree each.Vaajan, the last and third Ribhu divided it into 4 equal parts of 90 degree(Ch 7.sooktham 33). When Rishi Prajapathi talks about the six horses of sun , five in succession,it is the six seasons and the Panchavarsh Paithamaha time division of the Calendar already in use by Vedic people.Paithamahasidhantha is the oldest Astronomical text of the world.It says: There are three areas above or on the back , and of these only one is visible and the other two are invisible.Below ( in front of globe) is a beautiful core with three yonis ,three heads of dharma and three breasts.In each of the three parts, the sun stay for 4 months.The sunmakes love withone Devi for 4 months.Then leaves her for next 8 months.In this way sunrepeats his cycle every 12 month to return to his position.These areas where sun bestows his grace (Varsha/Rain) are therefore called Varsha (Year/ Bhaarathavarsha etc).People of the areas get rains (Varsha) when sun stays with their Devi/Varsha and these people are called Devas who enjointhe lifegiving nectar of rain.The Devis are named Ila, Saraswathi and Bharathi. (Ila in Himalaya area) Saraswathi in plains of North India , and Bhaarathi in South and central India.(People are Aila, Saaraswatha, and Bhaaratha races).All these Bhoodevaas are divine beings, sons of Vishnu, as Surya narayana. Saaraswatha and Gouda are sons of Harivarsha and of Gouda (Vanga) desa where Saraswathi and Ganga flow. When globe is divided into 12 month/rasi only 8 parts are visible land masses on equatorial plane. Two are on other side , hence invisible. The rest is the Aleutiansea from where we see sunrise .This two invisible and the one sunrise area together form three parts called Thribhona in ancient Astronomy.Literal meaning is Oonam (minus) thri (Three) Bham (zodiacal sign/Rasi) .Thus the system of completing only 270 degrees in a Siva temple came about. Thribhonam is minus 90 degree..The first landmass seen on east of Bhaarathavarsha was thus named Ribhona or Thribhona (Thribhuvana) and this is pronounced as Rippon ( ancient name of Japan).The first landmass towards East of India where the sunrays of rising sun touch the first visible part ( after traversing the invisible three parts on other side of globe).The Land of the Rising
18

sun is thus a term , in relation to its position from an onlooker/astronomer from Indian subcontinent. From that point ,landmasses are divided into three divisions of 90 degree. Then, the North East of India and around Himavath is Ilaavritha, middle parts of Plains of North India and the North west Saraswathi and the lower central India and South India is Bharathi. When sun rise at Lanka ( zero point) or at Ujjain ( Tropic of Karkkitaka/Cancer) the sun sets at Kethumala (Guatemala) or at Sidhapura .At kuru and Romakapura it is midnight while bhadraswa and Yamakoti have their noon, says all astronomical texts of India, showing their awareness of the shape of earth, existence of landmasses on other half of the earth and also their names and calculation of time zones based on a common zero point at Lanka .Their Lanka is the Meshabindu on cosmic scale and opposite to it ( 180 degree) lie a Thulabindu (Thulaa) on cosmos ( a balancing point) and there exists in Mexico a suncity called Tula .If people of India speaking Sanskrit , mention a city called Tula exactly 180degree opposite to their Lanka (zero point) they were taking Tula as their international dateline is evident from scientific logic. Bhadraswam and Yamakoti are along the Aleutian bay in Pacific , sakalin and Kuril islands including .Kethumala (Guatemala) and Chethumal ( in gulf of Mexico) do exist as the Sanskrit astronomical texts describe their time scale. Sidhapuram is Theothihuacan and Tula in Mexico. Kuru is in North India but Utharakuru of India extends over Himalayas to Middle Asia and and included parts of Sahara desert , west boundary of Republic of Mali. In Sahara people lived in caves millions of years ago . People of Tumbukthu in Mali have a system of watching the binary stars of Sirius (dogstar) just as Indians do , and Indians of west coast did this for predicting Monsoon , for taking their ships on voyage, and predicting fertility /agricultural times of earth. Romakapura is Azoras islands in Atlantic ocean with submerged Atlantis of Plato. For Indians , this Asura landmass was submerged because the burden of the Asuras was too much for the mother earth, and Vishnu her protector and consort protectedher by submerging the Asura city.It is just a symbolism for law of nature. There had been cultural links between people all over the world through sea trade and India was the leading partner of the trade relations and cultural exchange until Europe took over it in the last few centuries.
