Vedic Cosmography and Astronomy

Vedic Cosmography and Astronomy

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Comparing the astronomy and cosmography of the Srimad-Bhagavatam and other Puranas to those of the Vedic astronomical treatises called jyotisa sastras, Dr. Thompson shows that the two versions are complementary, not contradictory. In this way he gives insight into both.
