The global planets in our material universe are seen in painting below where our Earth globe (Bhurloka), is a "round global sphere" and part of the 8th Planetary System in our universe. It is crazy to believe our planet is flat.

Srimad Bhagavatam does NOT say our Earth is flat as revealed in the below painting where Earth (Bhurloka) is a globe.

All planets throughout the14 Planetary Systems are all global spheres including the Moon and the Sun.

There is no such thing as ''two views of this Earth'', one from the mundane scientists, the other from the Puranas and the Demigods.

ALL see our Earth as a round global sphere and never flat.

Srila Prabhupada - "The planets are called dvīpas. Outer space is like an ocean of air. Just as there are islands in the watery ocean, these planets in the ocean of space are called dvīpas, or islands in outer space" (Caitanya Caritamrita Madhya 20.218, Purport)

Srila Prabhupada - "On the ground our earth looks flat but when you go up you will see our Earth planet is a ball" (Lecture New York 1966.)

Although as we know there are subtle realities that are in other dimensional realms, like the inhabitants who live on the Moon, Sun and thousands of other planets.

The mundane material scientists cannot see or detect these subtle realms because they do not have the right material body or karma to enter theses realms.

The Sanskrit word "Dvīpa" has two meanings. 

1 - "Islands" or "continents" on a Planet.

 2 - "Globes or spheres" in outer space (as seen in painting below of Bhurloka).

(Caitanya Caritamrita Madhya 20.218, Purport)

NONE of these planets within those systems are a flat! Even the view of this entire universe from the heavenly planets, our Earth is a globe and NOT flat.

Although as we know, there are subtle civilisations in other dimensional realms like the inhabitants on the Moon, Sun and thousands of other planets that the material scientists nor us can see because we do not have the right material body and karmic qualifications to enter their subtle realm.

However, from all those subtle realms, both heavenly and hellish, our Earth planet appears ALWAYS as a globe and NOT flat.

Bhu-Mandala takes up almost our entire universe with its 14 Planetary systems in it, and each planetary system is represented with many global spherical planets.

Bhu-Mandala is NOT the Earth globe!

It is all these planetary systems, spread out within this single universe, that have the appearance of a "vast flat disc of global planets".

This "flat disc" in outer space is made of thousands of planets from the 14 different planetary systems that are collectively called "Bhu-Mandala.

Bhu-Mandala is almost the diameter of our 4 billion mile single universe, it is NOT our small earth globe.

The planets themselves within each system are round globes, they are NOT flat in anyway.

In this way the 14 planetary systems, collectively known as Bhu-Mandala, is almost the size of our 4 billion mile diameter universe.

Bhu-Mandala is not to be confused with our round global spherical earth we live on.

The 14 different Planetary systems, along with Garbhodakashayi Vishnu and Lord Brahma, are all situate very deep inside of our surrounding outer Brahmanda shell, (almost spherical shaped) greater universe that originates from the Body of Maha Vishnu.

The global planets in our universe are seen in painting below where the Earth globe (Bhurloka), is part of the 8th Planetary System. 

The planets in outer space are called dvīpas.

Our massive Brahmanda, that our smaller single universe, known as Bhu-Mandala with its 14 planetary systems, is deep within, originates from the pores of Maha Vishnu along with billions of other Brahmandas that also have a secondary universe deep within it.

The Earth planet is a "round global sphere" in the ocean of outer space, it is NOT flat, Srila Prabhupada tells us this.

So to repeat again in these early pioneering years that many leading Gurus, Sannyasis and devotee scholars have not properly understood -

Srila Prabhupada - "On the ground our earth looks flat but when you go up you will see our Earth planet is a ball" (Lecture New York 1966.)

The Sanskrit word "Dvīpa" has two meanings. 

1 - "Islands" or "continents" on a Planet.

 2 - "Globes or spheres" in outer space (as seen in painting below of Bhurloka).

Srila Prabhupada - "The planets are called dvīpas. Outer space is like an ocean of air. Just as there are islands in the watery ocean, these planets in the ocean of space are called dvīpas, or islands in outer space" (Chaitanya Caritamrita Madhya 20.218, Purport)
