A universe and beyond .
Modern science assumes the universe three dimensional. However, the Vedas brings us to the realisations of the multidimensional universe . We can say universes within universes within universes. Each universe, according to the Vedas, has a different engineer called Bramha ,each of these Bramas’ have different capacities according to the size of the universe they are overseeing . So , the measurements of the Vedic universe incorporate aspects of the universe that are near and yet far away from the limited senses perspective . Certainly, there are red shift anomalies in the calculations of the modern cosmological community , Dr Richard Thompson, (Sadaputa das) mentions this in his book on Vedic cosmology . Are the stars so far away ? on one level , maybe , on another level, maybe not .
For instance, the Vedic cosmological calculations describe dimensional space , only 800 miles above this planet earth , the Upadeva planets exist within their own particular dimension . We can not see this region, but its influences are felt . Can you hear a dog whistle or see what cats see in detail in the dark ? Mystics and yogis , the Vedas indicates, can at times commune or even commute to these planes . In some parts of the Vedas, the localised universe is described as 4.5 billion miles , but that should be understood in context to the greater universal picture.
The greatly renowned Vedic cosmological scholar in Gaudiya Vaisnavism says this ..
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami Thakura, recognized as a master of both Siddhantic Vedic astronomy and Puranic literature, provided specific measurements regarding the size of the universe based on classical Vedic texts . He maintained that the universe is vast, egg-shaped (brahmanda), and, while immense, is only one of innumerable universes in the material creation.
Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura quotes ancient Vedic texts like the Siddhānta-śiromaṇi to describe the mind-boggling scale of a single universe .
He explains that a single universe measures roughly 149 quadrillion miles in circumference. This vast size includes the core planetary systems, which span 4 billion miles in diameter, surrounded by seven massive elemental layers. These layers could be thought of as the store houses of the atomic realms that facilitate the many possibilities of the expanding universe, expanding by the desires of the living beings and fulfilling and arranging karmic synchronicities of each soul . As soon as the living beings enter the universe activities, time and expanding begin. Each successive layer of the universe (consisting of water, fire, air, ether, etc.) expands in multiples
The material universe indeed encompasses immense distance trillions upon trillions of miles and beyond . Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura used these descriptions to highlight the inconceivable, gigantic scale of material creation relative to the eternal spiritual world. Each of the higher Vaikuntha planets can easily contain all these material universes, and the Goloka Vrndavana spiritual planet, the centre of spiritual existence , contains all the Vaikuntha planets .The mystery of Vrndavana is that it appears as a village 17 Miles in diameter , but the whole of existence is within this seventeen miles .The Vedas says within one atom, Visnu is fully present along with His complete existence. When it comes to ” spiritual physics,” we can not limit ourselves to the working of matter within the laws of three-dimensional space or time. Marie Currie, the Nobel prize winner for her studies of radiation took time to study telepathy and knew of its significance. Niels Bohr and Schrödinger as well as Einstein and Richard Feynman, could easily comprehend the endless and inescapable understanding of the multidimensional possibilities and their realistic existence .The third and fifth Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam highlights some of these cosmological affairs , Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami has published the Bhagavatam, its available in all languages throughout the world.
