Meru (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Mukundchandra G Raval | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Meru is referred to, talked about, heard of, compared to, and discussed about without exception in all books and discourses of religions in Bharat. Meru is regarded as the tallest and most pious mountain, having abodes of all Gods and Semi-Gods of all faiths.

Unfortunately, nobody can confidently pinpoint the place of Meru in spite of indicative addresses available in scriptures. Generally, Hindus believe it to be beyond Himalayas; Buddhists say it is in Tibet; Jains say it exists, but it cannot be seen.

This is because of unsatisfactory solutions to its conflicting descriptions. For example, the Sun never sets on Meru but does set at the base of it.

In this book, satisfactory solutions have been explained with convincing reasons. Establishing Meru on the equator at ""Bhugol Madhye,"" the author ventures to replace Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) with Meru Mean Time (MMT) for the reasons based on his findings.

Also, the myth of fourteen Ratnas (Gems) coming out during 'Samudra Manthan'- churning of the ocean has been explained in a lucid manner.

Meru no longer remains a matter of miracle, myth or mystery but a history.
