Universe and Lokas

The brahmajyoti is due to the illuminating Vaikuntha planets, which need no sun or moon or power of electricity.

The entire material creation is only 1/4 of the entire creation of Krisna....the spiritual sky accounts for the other 3/4.

So there are innumerate universe consisting of innumerate brahma, vishnu and mahesh each for one universe. In each universe there is Garbha ocean where Garbodhakasayi Visnu and lies in shesh. but beyound all univese there is causal ocean where Mahavishnu lies down and above him There is Golok where Sri krishna resides , the highest of all places.

Thanks Rajnish, great piece of info.👏

There's one Saket Dham where Ramji resides with Ma Sita eternally. Are "Dham" and "Lok" the same??

Also do you know about Atlantis?? It has something to do with Atala lok and Sutala.

Spiritual lok is usually called as dham. A sacred place is also called as dham.

Yes, Ram and Sita live eternally in Saket.😊 Likewise, Krishna and Radha live eternally in Golok.😊

"Goloka, also called Vrindavana, is always full of cows. There are many waterfalls, which are always pouring water, and the sound is so sweet that it covers the sound of the crickets. And because water flows all over, the forest always looks very green and beautiful.

"The inhabitants of Vrindavana are never disturbed by the scorching heat of the sun or high summer temperatures. The lakes of Vrindavana are surrounded by green grasses, and various kinds of lotus flowers bloom there. The air blowing in Vrindavana carries the aromatic pollen of those lotus flowers. When the particles of water from the waves of the Yamuna River, the lakes, and the waterfalls touch the bodies of the inhabitants of Vrindavana, they automatically feel a cooling effect.

"Vrindavana is such a nice place. Flowers are always blooming, and there are even various kinds of decorated deer. Birds are chirping, peacocks are crowing and dancing, and bees are humming. The cuckoos there sing nicely in five kinds of tunes.

"Krishna, the reservoir of pleasure, blowing His flute, accompanied by His elder brother Balarama and the other cowherd boys and the cows, enters the beautiful forest of Vrindavana to enjoy the atmosphere. They walk into the midst of newly grown leaves of trees whose flowers resembled peacock feathers. They are garlanded by those flowers and decorated with saffron chalk. Sometimes they are dancing and singing and sometimes wrestling with one another. While Krishna dances, some of the cowherd boys sing and others play on flutes; some bugle on buffalo horns or clap their hands, praising Krishna, 'Dear brother, You are dancing very nicely.' "

Vaikuntha- From Srimad-Bhagavatam (3.15.16'23)

"In those Vaikuntha planets there are many forests which are very auspicious. In those forests the trees are wish-fulfilling trees, and in all seasons they are filled with flowers and fruits because everything in the Vaikuntha planets is spiritual and personal.

"In the Vaikuntha planets the inhabitants fly in their airplanes, accompanied by their wives and consorts, and eternally sing of the character and activities of the Lord, which are always devoid of all inauspicious qualities. While singing the glories of the Lord, they deride even the presence of the blossoming madhavi flowers, which are fragrant and laden with honey.

"When the king of bees hums in a high pitch, singing the glories of the Lord, there is a temporary lull in the noise of the pigeon, the cuckoo, the crane, the cakravaka, the swan, the parrot, the partridge, and the peacock. Such transcendental birds stop their own singing simply to hear the glories of the Lord.

"Although flowering plants like the mandara, kunda, kurabaka, utpala, campaka, arna, punnaga, nagakeshara, bakula, lily, and parijata are full of transcendental fragrance, they are still conscious of the austerities performed by Tulasi, for Tulasi is given special preference by the Lord, who garlands Himself with Tulasi leaves.

"The inhabitants of Vaikuntha travel in their airplanes made of lapis lazuli, emerald, and gold. Although crowded by their consorts, who have large hips and beautiful smiling faces, the male inhabitants cannot be stimulated to passion by their mirth and beautiful charms.

"The ladies in the Vaikuntha planets are as beautiful as the goddess of fortune herself. Such transcendentally beautiful ladies, their hands playing with lotuses and their leg bangles tinkling, are sometimes seen sweeping the marble walls, which are bedecked at intervals with golden borders, in order to receive the grace of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

"The goddesses of fortune worship the Lord in their own gardens by offering Tulasi leaves on the coral-paved banks of transcendental reservoirs of water. While offering worship to the Lord, they can see on the water the reflection of their beautiful faces with raised noses, and it appears that they have become more beautiful because of the Lord's kissing their faces.

"It is very much regrettable that unfortunate people do not discuss the description of the Vaikuntha planets."

Saket- saket dham is just like Ayodhya during Ram rajya. the people there is satisfied and always in peace serving Ram. they know that Ram is supreme and always serve Ram. Ram with her Sita eternally resides in saket dham with His devotees who served Him during His Ram incarnation on Earth. All devotee of saketh dham lives in eternal happiness and pleasure ae a subject to Lord Ram and happily serves him

There are innumerable universes. All that we see is one universe. Like this, there are innumerable universes. And each universe has one Shankar, one Brahma, one Vishnu. So there are innumerable Shankars, innumerable Brahmas, innumerable Vishnus.

Devi Bhagwat Puran says, you can count the grains of sand on earth. But you can't count the number of universes there are in this Creation.

In each universe, there are different Lokas. Like, in this universe of ours, we are in Bhoo-Lok, the planet of ours. Below that, there are lower planes of existence, which we call the hellish planets, or Narak. and above there are 7 lokas which we usualy called swarga, but avove swarga there are more.

So, it is described that above our (1)Bhoo-Lok(Earth), there is
(2) Bhuvar Loka -Antariksha, the space between Earth and Sun
(3) Swarga Loka -the heaven world ruled by Indra; the space between Sun and the Pole Star
(4) Mahar Loka -the world of the Adepts who are coexistent with Brahma
(5) Jnana Loka -the world of celestial beings such as mind-born sons of Brahma
(6) Tapas Loka -the world of immortal ascetics, the Vairagis
(7) Satya Loka -the world of Brahma, the Supreme Deity

besides there is seven below own Bhoo-lok-Below that, there are lower planes of existence, which we call the hellish planets, or Narak or patala. Patala Lokas are the infernal regions, inhabited by Nagas, Daityas, Danavas, etc. They have been classified differently in different scriptures. According to Padma Purana, these infernal lokas are
(i)Patala -where dwell the Nagas under the rulership of Vasuki; where dwell the animal body of men and their material propensities
(ii) Mahatala -the abode of men's astral body; here reside the great serpents

(iii) Rasatala the plane of passionate and lustful beings; where Daityas and Danavas dwell
(iv) Talatala -the clinging of lower Manas to the sentient and objective life; the realm of Maya
(v) Sutala -identification of man with his animal nature; the realm ruled by Bali
(vi) Vitala -the realm where animal nature in man is delinked from his higher nature; the realm ruled by a form of Shiva
(vii) Atala -the realm of perpetual state of torture.
