JAMBUDWIPA MENTIONED IN THE SANKALPA

 JAMBUDWIPA MENTIONED IN THE SANKALPA

  https://ramamohanraocheruku.blogspot.com/2016/07/jambudwipa-and-sankalpa.html

    Whenever we invite a priest more aptly a purohit all of us 

    would have probably heard the words, ".....Jambudveepe          Bharatha Varshe Bharata Khande....." from him during the       sankalpa mantram without which the puja will not start.   However, Some, who reside abroad will have the doubt as to   how they must modify sankalpa mantra that suits the   etymology of those countries where they are residing. This   post may fulfill their need.

  Jambudveepa consisted of modern Asia, Europe, Africa and   North America and not merely the Indian subcontinent.

  This Jambudvipa was divided into nine Varshas   (geographical  regions) of which one was Bharatha Varsha.   The other eight varshas were:

2   Ketumula Varsha

     Hari Varsha

4   Ilavrita Varsha

5   Kuru Varsha

    Hiranyaka Varsha

7  Ramyaka Varsha

8  Kimpurusha Varsha

   Bhadrasva Varsha.

(Refer to the picture to get a clear idea of this).

     India which was then called Bharathavarsha extended in the west including the regions of modern Egypt, Afghanistan, Baluchistan, Iran, Sumeria upto Caspian Sea (which was called Kashyapa Samudra in those days). Within this Bharata Varsha was located the Bharata Khanda which was the heart of the Vedic civilization & the place where we Indians currently reside. This is one of the innumerous proofs that the Indo-Aryan race theory is a conspiracy theory moulded by western countries to show us in poor light. All of the regions so mentioned in the race theory are a part of Bharata Varsha & there was never a so called "invasion".

    What is amazing is the fact that our ancestors had an excellent overview of the geography of the world back then. JAMBUDWIPA MENTIONED IN THE SANKALPA

What is amazing is the fact that our ancestors had an excellent overview of the geography of the world back then.

The seven continents of the Puranas are stated as Jambudvipa, Plaksadvipa, Salmalidvipa, Kusadvipa, Krouncadvipa (క్రౌంచ ద్వీప), Sakadvipa, and Pushkaradvipa. Krouncadvipa is for America only.

There are two versions used by Indians in America. One Krouncha dweepe. Ramanaka Khande, Another one is Krouncha dweepe go-dweepa khande. This depends on the practice adopted by the native Indians in the respective regions. In Singapore and surrounding countries it will be Jamboodweepe, Bharata Varshe Bharata Khade is to be adopted.

Swasthi.
