Structure Of The Universe

The universe is a very complicated topic. because we did not know too much about the universe. statically we,the earth beings knows only 0.03% of the universe , of the whole creation of god.
in Hinduism the universe is multidimensional we'll discuss about the dimensions later . first we have to understand the structure of the universe we are living in .the universe is much more than our sun ,planets and our solar system. hence these are very small or we can say negligible  part of the creation .
According to ancient Hindu texts i.e. The Vedas, the universe is made up of 14 planetary levels . and the souls are sent to them according to their karma .. and the consciousness level of the souls are  extremely low in the lowest planetary level and ironically  in the upper level the consciousness level of the souls are higher  then the lower level
now, lets discuss the 14 planetary levels and in which level we are living in .each planetary system (lokas) resembles a galaxy and comprises stars,planets and other solar body's.
the top most planetary system is SATYALOKA .The abode of  Lord Brahma . its about on a height of 1.87 billion miles above earth.

below the satyaloka planetary system there is tapaloka planetary system which is 2nd most higher one . its about 1 billion miles above earth .
so there are all 14 in sequence - these are in descending order

1.Satyaloka
2.Tapaloka
3.Janaloka
4.Maharloka
5.Svarloka
6.Bhuvarloka
7.Bhurloka
8.Atala
9.Vitala
10.Sutala
11.Talatala
12.Mahatala
13.Rasatala
14.Patala

 

Srimad bhagavatam tells that the earth is located in the bhurloka planetary level and in the Bhumandala planetary system . the bhumandala planets are divided into seven subdivisions.
from a vast distance, the bhumandala planetary system looks like a disk.




Below the 14 planetary levels, a planet is called pitriloka is located and below the planet pitriloka planet is the NARAKLOKA planetary system (hell) which has further 27 subdivisions containing hundreds a\of thousands planets more.

it is stated that the concious level of the souls sent to narakloka is shrinked to extreme low levels.
