Is our Earth Spherical or Flat ?
Again, a simple answer would be; Our Earth is Flat.
But wait.. wait... don't start screaming. Ofcourse I have seen a photo of our Earth from satellite. And yes I have studied geography at my school.
I know by this point you've started to think I am crazy.
Well; hold your thoughts for a while, till you finish reading through this entire post.
Again, I would urge you to read through my previous post just to know where I am coming from. This will be true for all my posts. Each of my post will be building on some concept discussed in my previous posts.

Remember, in my previous post we discussed about the concept of perception boundaries. Unless we get a good grip of this concept we will not get to understand how a Flat Earth is perceived by us as Spherical.
So, I insist... please read my previous post before continuing.

Now assuming that you have read my previous post; and that you have realized that Human body has a boundary of perception; and that Goddess Durgaa is responsible for administering these boundaries; lets proceed.
According to Srimad Bhagavatam 5.17.11 the only place in this universe (Bramhanda) where humans exist is called Bharat-Varsha. This Bharat Varsha is a tract of land found at the southern tip of the Jambu-Island. Jambu-Island is the central island in the series of seven concentric islands, each surrounded by a concentric ocean. This entire geography makes up a Colossal Disc which is called Bhu-mandala.
I won't bother you with the detailed measurements of each of the individual parts of this Bhu-mandala. Atleast not in this post. In this post we need to establish some fundamental concepts in-order to reconcile these geographical measurements.
This Bhu-mandala plate is several BILLION miles in diameter. While Bharat-Varsha (where we humans live) is just over 57 million sq. miles. in area.
So had it been that we didn't have any boundaries of perception; in other words if we would have been able to perceive everything around us; then we should have been able to see a huge glittering golden mountain in the sky in northern direction. But its a fact, that we don't see such a glittering golden mountain to our north.
How is that being made possible. This is the trick of the greatest of all Illusionists; Goddess Durgaa (the Illusory Potency of the Supreme Creator Sri Krishna).
It is not very difficult to understand how a flat surface is perceived to be spherical, if we understand the unlimited prowess of Goddess Durgaa. Since she is the personification of the potency of the Supreme Creator, she is endowed with unlimited power.
So lets find out how this works out.
Lets imagine there is sheet of paper lying on the floor of our house. An ANT happens to be there at one of the edge of that paper. Now lets say, this ant starts walking straight towards the opposite edge of that paper. If it reaches to the opposite edge of that paper, and continues further, it will be stepping down from the paper onto our floor.
But before it could reach to the opposite edge of that paper, if we roll up the paper; such that, both the opposite ends of that paper meet-up to form a cylinder; then what will happen.
That ant will get trapped on the surface of that cylinder. Now when it reaches to the opposite edge of that paper, instead of stepping down onto the floor, it will step onto the edge from where it started.
That way no matter how long the ant keeps walking, it will always be on the paper, trapped by the boundary of that paper.
This is what we mean by the boundary of perception. This is exactly what happens when we keep travelling in one direction on this Earth. Never-mind how much we try, we end up being in the same place from where we started.
When such a boundary is enforced in all directions of a flat surface, it gives us a perception of moving on a Sphere. Think about it...
It is impossible to know where the boundary starts or ends. Neither is there any documentation which informs us about the exact point where this SNAPPING happens. But from the revealed Vedic texts we can definitely infer that it sure does happen.
How??? Only Maya Devi (Goddess Durgaa) knows.
More intriguing concepts will be discussed in following posts...
So stay tuned...
