What is the difference between the small "Earth Mandala planetary sphere or globe" and the Bhu-Mandala Universe that is 4 billion miles in diameter and made up with 14 different Planetary Systems?

What is the difference between the Earth and Bhu-Mandala?

Our Earth we live on is a small round spherical planet seen as a global planet existing in the 8th System called Bhurloka out of the 14 Planetary System's that make up our Universe called Bhu-Mandala.

The "Earth Mandala" we live on is a "round global sphere".

The "Bhu-Mandala" terminology refers to our entire inner material Universe that exists deep inside and encased in our surrounding massive Brahmanda.

All Brahmanda greater Universe's originate from the Bodily pores and breathing of Maha Vishnu.

The word "Mandala" here has two meanings,

1 - Our earth globe

2 - Our 500,000,000 yojanas in diameter or 4 billion mile diameter universe according to Srimad Bhagavatam.

The greater Earth Mandala that is 4 billion miles in diameter (also called an Earth) in NOT to be confused with our small Earth global sphere we live on.

Bhu-Mandala (the greater Earth Mandala) is the entire expanse of Planets within all the 14 different planetary systems in outerspace spreading to a diameter of 4 billion miles and having a circumference of 12 billion 340 million miles.

The small Earth Mandala we live on is a "round global sphere" and has a diameter of 7,918 miles and a circumference of 24,900 miles only.

The Bhu-Mandala planetary expanse of globes in outspace is way bigger than our small single earth globe where we live on.

Bhu-Mandala is almost 4 billion miles in diameter and 12,340 billion miles in Circumference so it is NOT our small earth planet we live.

Therefore where we live (on our Earth globe) is NOT the "greater Earth Mandala" called Bhu-Mandala that some wrongly believe is our small earth.

Bhu-Mandala is described as 4 billion miles in diameter in Srimad Bhagavatam which is also described as the size of this single material universe with its 14 planetary systems as painting shows.

Furthermore this single universe known as Bhu-Mandala is very deep within and surrounded by a greater global universal egg shaped spherical outer shell made up of 7 or sometimes described as 8 layers of material elements of solids, liquids and gases.

Billions of these greater global universal egg shaped spherical balls are coming from the Body of Maha Vishnu as seen in painting of Maha Vishnu.

And deep inside each ball is a smaller inner world of many planetary systems that are all similar to our small 4 billion mile diameter Bhu-Mandala universe.

Keep in mind that Islands mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam can ''also'' mean global planets in outer space like our earth planet that floats in outer space.

Srila Prabhupada - ''Just like here, in this planet you see flat, but when you go up you see it is ball, you see just like a ball.” (Lectures, Bhagavad-gita 2.12, New York, March 9, 1966)''

Srila Prabhupada - ''Dvipas (islands) are planets in outer space'' (CC Madhya 20.218)

Srila Prabhupada - ''The floating of the planets in the weightless air is due to the inner constitution of the globes, and the modernized drilling of the earth to exploit oil from within is a sort of disturbance by the modern demons and can result in a greatly harmful reaction to the floating condition of the earth''. Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 2 Chapter 7 Text 1

The Bhu-Mandala Universe is also known as the ''Greater Earth Mandala" which includes the entire 14 different Planetary Systems and is not to be confused with our ''small Earth Mandala'' globe we live on.

Therefore there are two Earth Mandala descriptions in Srimad Bhagavatam

1 - "The large Earth Mandala" called Bhu-Mandala which is our entire 6 billion 438 million kilometres in diameter Universe.

2 - "The small Earth Mandala" which is our round Earth global sphere which is a small Planet in space that has a diameter of 12,742 Kilometres and is in the middle Planetary System as shown in the photo of the 14 Planetary Systems which is the Bhu-Mandala Universe.

So the Bhu-Mandala Universe is the "greater Earth Mandala" that is 6 billion 438 million kilometers in diameter and is the size of our small universe.

The "smaller Earth Mandala" or our round Earth global sphere is just 12,742 kilometers in diameter therefore our small Earth is NOT the greater Earth Bhu-Mandala.

Srila Prabhupada - "Within this material energy there are innumerable universes, in every universe there are innumerable material planets, and the earth is one of these planets. Thus we can understand what an insignificant part of the entire cosmos is this globe on which we live''. (Light of the Bhāgavata 47)

The circumference of our earth globe around the equator is 40,075 km and the Earth"s diameter is 12,742 km.

So in no way is our small Earth globe Bhu-Mandala which is way to big to be our small Earth globe Sadaputa prabhu has also explained and described in Srimad Bhagavatam's 5th Canto as being -

6 billion 438 million kilometers in diameter or 4 billion miles in diameter - 500,000,000 yojanas in diameter.

And almost 20 billion kilometers in circumference.

This just happens to be the size also of our entire small Universe that is deep within and surrounded by a bigger Brahmanda egg shaped Universe that comes from Maha Vishnu with billions of other Brahmandas in all different sizes.

Painting shows global planetary spheres within the Bhu-Mandala Universe that has 14 planetary systems in it all having global planets in outer space
