The Lotus Petal Planet floating in Water

The Vedas describe the bhu mandala plane consisting of the petals of a lotus, the pericarp of which is Meru.

The earth, with all its continents, is located south of Meru, in the shape of a petal.



Buddhists describe the same location, south of Meru, with the shape of a blunt-nosed triangle with its tip pointing south.



Quran describes the earth as expanded out, stretched out, with a smooth surface, in the shape of an ostrich egg in the sand.

The Jews believed that by day the sun moves from east to west under the sky and at night the sun moves back from west to east above the opaque sky. Sadly they rejected their own scripture.

The opaque sky would be Meru.

Jews have this view: The distance of the firmament from the earth is a journey of 500 years, a distance equivalent to the diameter of the firmament, through which the sun must saw its way in order to become visible.^[9] The firmament, according to some, consists of fire and water, and, according to others, of water only, while the stars consist of fire.^[10] East and West are at least as far removed from each other as is the firmament from the earth.^[11] Heaven and earth "kiss each other" at the horizon and between the water above and that below there are but two or three fingerbreadths.^[12] The earth rests upon water and is encompassed by it.

And Christianity: The circle of the ocean - referring to its horizon gives away the same shape. Support below in form of pillars is also accepted in Vedic view.

Hare Krishna. I see the world with new eyes.
