Our small earth globe is 24,901 miles in circumference and is 7,917.5 miles in diameter, it is NOT the Bhu-Mandala Universe described in Srimad Bhagavatam that is 4 billion miles in diameter or 12.6 billion miles in circumference and has 14 Planetary Systems in it.
Here is the proper bona fide understanding our earth globe.
Our Earth globe it is NOT Bhu-Mandala, our earth round global sphere is way too small to be Bhu-Mandala.
The fact is, Bhu-Mandala IS our small universe that our earth planet is in, that is deep within and encased in the larger surrounding Brahmanda.
And within our small universe exists 14 different Planetary Systems.
There are 7 layers of material elements surrounded our small 4 billion mile diameter ''Bhu-Mandala'' Universe and its 14 planetary systems in it.
Each material layer our small universe is surrounded by is 10 times thicker than the previous layer.
Starting with the small 4 billion mile diameter Bhu-Mandala Universe deep within the surrounding Brahmanda Egg, there are 7 material layers.
So just multiply each layer from one to seven by 10, for example, the 4 billion miles diameter Bhu-Mandala
multiplied by 10 = 40 billion miles in diameter of the "earth" element
Then you multiply 40 billion by 10 for the next layer which equals 400 billion for the "water" element.
It is like this for all 7 layers of material elements and adds up to 44 Quadrillion 444 Trillion 444 billion miles.
Srila Prabhupada - "The first covering of the universe is "earth", and it is ten times thicker than the universe itself. If the universe is four billion miles in size, then the size of the earthly covering of the universe is four billion times ten"
Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 3.11.40
This phenomenal material world is expanded to a diameter of four billion miles, as a combination of eight material elements transformed into sixteen further categories, within and without, as follows.
PURPORT
As explained before, the entire material world is a display of sixteen diversities and eight material elements. The analytical studies of the material world are the subject matter of Sāńkhya philosophy.
The first sixteen diversities are the eleven senses and five sense objects, and the eight elements are the gross and subtle matter, namely earth, water, fire, air, sky, mind, intelligence and ego.
All these combined together are distributed throughout the entire universe, which extends diametrically to four billion miles.
Besides this universe of our experience, there are innumerable other universes. Some of them are bigger than the present one, and all of them are clustered together under similar material elements as described below.
Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 3.11.41
TRANSLATION
The layers or elements covering the universes are each ten times thicker than the one before, and all the universes clustered together appear like atoms in a huge combination.
PURPORT
The coverings of the universes are also constituted of the elements of earth, water, fire, air and ether, and each is ten times thicker than the one before. The first covering of the universe is earth, and it is ten times thicker than the universe itself.
If the universe is four billion miles in size, then the size of the earthly covering of the universe is four billion times ten.
The covering of water is ten times greater than the earthly covering, the covering of fire is ten times greater than the watery covering, the covering of air is ten times greater than that of the fire, the covering of ether is ten times greater still than that of air, and so on.
The universe within the coverings of matter appears to be like an atom in comparison to the coverings, and the number of universes is unknown even to those who can estimate the coverings of the universes.
Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 3.11.42
TRANSLATION
The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, is therefore said to be the original cause of all causes. Thus the spiritual abode of Viṣṇu is eternal without a doubt, and it is also the abode of Mahā-Viṣṇu, the origin of all manifestations.
PURPORT
Lord Mahā-Viṣṇu, who is resting in yoga-nidrā on the Causal Ocean and creating innumerable universes by His breathing process, only temporarily appears in the mahat-tattva for the temporary manifestation of the material worlds.
He is a plenary portion of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and thus although He is nondifferent from Lord Kṛṣṇa, His formal appearance in the material world as an incarnation is temporary.
The original form of the Personality of Godhead is actually the svarūpa, or real form, and He eternally resides in the Vaikuṇṭha world (Viṣṇuloka).
The word mahātmanaḥ is used here to indicate Mahā-Viṣṇu, and His real manifestation is Lord Kṛṣṇa, who is called parama, as confirmed in the Brahma-saḿhitā:
īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ
sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ
anādir ādir govindaḥ
sarva-kāraṇa-kāraṇam
[Bs. 5.1]
“The Supreme Lord is Kṛṣṇa, the original Personality of Godhead known as Govinda. His form is eternal, full of bliss and knowledge, and He is the original cause of all causes.”
Do the maths yourself based on Srimad-Bhagavatam and work out the massive size of our Brahmanda Egg shaped Universe
Śrīmad Bhāgavatam Canto 3 Chapter 11 Text 41
TRANSLATION
The layers or elements covering the universes are each ten times thicker than the one before. (End of Text)
Srimad-Bhagavatam Canto 3 Chapter 26 Text 52
TRANSLATION
This universal egg, or the universe in the shape of an egg, is called the manifestation of material energy.
Its layers of water, air, fire, sky, ego and mahat-tattva increase in thickness one after another.
Each layer is ten times bigger than the previous one, and the final outside layer is covered by pradhāna.
Within this egg is the universal form of Lord Hari, of whose body the fourteen planetary systems are parts.
PURPORT
Srila Prabhupada - There are seven coverings, each one ten times greater than the one preceding it.
The layer of water is ten times greater than the diameter of the universe, and the layer of fire is ten times greater than that of water.
Similarly, the layer of air is ten times greater than that of fire.
These dimensions are all inconceivable to the tiny brain of a human being.
It is also stated that this description is of only one egglike universe. There are innumerable universes besides this one, and some of them are many, many times greater.
It is considered, in fact, that this universe is the smallest; therefore the predominating superintendent, or Brahmā, has only four heads for management.
In other universes, which are far greater than this one, Brahmā has more heads.
In the Caitanya-caritāmṛta it is stated that all these Brahmās were called one day by Lord Kṛṣṇa on the inquiry of the small Brahmā, who, after seeing all the larger Brahmās. (End of Srila Prabhupada's Purport)
There is some confusion in Bhagavatam as in one place it says the first layer is earth and in another place it says the first layer is water.
Also in many cases only 6 layers are mentioned and the names change to like Maha tattva is said to be a layer in one purport and ether is not even mentioned in others.
Srila Prabhupada says there are 7 layers 8 including the original 4 billion miles in diameter or 12.6 billion miles in circumference that has 14 Planetary Systems in it inner Bhu-Mandala universe
Anyway one can do their own maths, start with the size of our Universe Bhu-Mandala
There are 7 layers of elements, do the maths and see what you get. Each layer is 10 times greater than the previous layer as Srimad Bhagavatam tells us
1 - 4 billion miles × by 10 = 40 billion miles (Earth)
2 - 40 billion miles × by 10 = 400 billion miles (water)
3 - 400 billion miles × by 10 = 4 Trillion miles (fire)
4 - 4 Trillion miles × by 10 = 40 Trillion miles (air)
5 - 40 Trillion miles × by 10 = 400 Trillion miles (sky or ether)
6 - 400 Trillion miles × by 10 = 4 Quadrillion miles (false ego)
7 - 4 Quadrillion miles (mind and intelligence) × by 10 = 40 Quadrillion
Now add this up and see the maths for yourself.
8 layers (that includes the inner 4 billion mile Bhu-Mandala universe)
The full size of our Brahmanda Egg shaped Universe that has the 4 billion miles diameter Bhu-Mandala smaller Universe very deep inside it at it's center, is 44 Quadrillion 444 Trillion 444 billion miles in diameter.
