Product Description
The "Bhagavata Purana" is one of the classical scriptures of Hinduism. This book closely examines its text and reveals unexpected depths of knowledge in ancient cosmology. It shows that the cosmology of the text is a sophisticated system, with multiple levels of meaning that encode at least four different astronomical, geographical, and spiritual world models. By viewing the text in the light of modern astronomy, the author shows how ancient scientists expressed exact knowledge in apparently mythological terms. Comparison with the ancient traditions of Egypt and the Near East shows early cultural connections between India and these regions - including a surprisingly advanced science.
