Hare Krishna,
They say NASA is lying about the shape of the Earth and it's revolution around the SUN.
There are flat earthers , who claim Earth is not a globe. They always ridicule NASA.
They say, if Earth rotates around SUN, with it's great oceans and rivers , it will be utter destruction.
And all the photographs of planet Earth from space are fake. All the space programmes are fake. Austronauts are actors.
I have seen arguments among devotees on internet.
some devotees support flat earth, and others the globe theory.
Our puranas and Bhagavatham say, SUN is moving around mount Sumeru contrary to modern theory.
Seems, Bhagavatham supports old geocentric theory.
I am wondering, even if NASA is lying , is India's ISRO and other countries like Russia, Japan also lying ?
And why do all these countries need to propagate false theories ?
I am also wondering, if satellites are fake, How are google maps working ?
Please share your thoughts.
Thanq

Hare Krsna Prabhuji,
PAMHO.
In Hindi/ Sanskrit, the word for geography is "Bhugol" - Bhu means earth and gol means round. It is not "Bhu Takth". Takht being flat. I think that is enough to answer your questions. Not getting into further arguments. You already know the rest.
Take your call and start working accordingly.

Round means, globe or circle ?
If globe, How its possible ?
modern astronomy true or fake ?
Earth stationary or moving ?
Thanq
You asked the same question on May 1, 2024 in "round Earth theory vs Flat Earth theory".
From my pov this issue is a waste of time. Kali yuga is full of false theories because "the powers that be" are asuric.

It is not a crime to ask the same question again. If you dont know or dont want to answer, you may keep quiet. For you it may be waste of time. You go and do thapasya like a muni..
When the wicked people are trying to propagate misinformation, should not we confirm the truth ? For many people who are not developed in bhakthi, faith in the sastra is necessary..This will strengthen their faith in God...becoz they try to see God through the window of sastra..
So, if some wicked people are trying to propagate misinformation which is contrary to sastra, a mahatma should proactively debunk false theories so that general populace don't lose faith in the sastras. He must do every endeavour to explain what the truth is instead of saying it is a waste of time..
We know that right from childhood, every one is brainwashed that the Earth is a spinning ball. They say this ball is hanging in space and moving around Sun..But when we read bhagavatham, there is no ball there. This is saptha dwipa..So obviously there is a great confusion for people like us who were brainedwashed from childhood.
So this topic is such an important one. We need to discuss more and more on this topic to flushoff the garbage from our minds and develop faith in the sastra..
Hare Krishna,
Some people are saying Bharatha varsha is entire visible world.
Other varshas inaccessible.
If so, is arcitic himalaya ? What about Himalaya of kashmir ?
Thanq
