| Aug 5, 2016 at 6:04 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | @Surya I just posted a question that may be related to the cities surrounding Meru: hinduism.stackexchange.com/q/14366/36 | |

| Oct 29, 2015 at 12:44 | comment | added | Surya | I know that story, where Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu are taken to Manidvipa and see Devi sitting on the Simhasana. My question is, within our own Brahmanda, are there different abodes of Brahma? | |
| Oct 25, 2015 at 4:07 | comment | added | user1195 | There are multiple brahmandas and each brahmanda has its own brahma, vishnu, siva etc. and Devi Sri lalita is the ruler of all these brahmandas. There is a story in the devi scriptures where vishnu, etc. encountered other vishnus at the gates of Devi's city. | |
| Oct 24, 2015 at 18:44 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | I discuss that Aitareya Brahmana chapter in my question here, by the way. Also, in the Mahabharata chapter linked to in my question here, if you go to the land of the Uttara-Kurus, you'll be "in the company of the very deities, where those beings that have their origin in fire, those that have their origin in water, and those having their origin in mountains, reside in happiness, and where Sakra raineth down the fruition of every wish." But Devaloka is listed separately. | |
| Oct 24, 2015 at 18:39 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | But there are reference in Hindu scripture to the gods having dwellings on Earth in addition to their dwellings in other Lokas. (They may spend some time in different dwellings, or they may simultaneously be in all dwellings as the Brahma Sutras describe them appearing in multiple places at once.) In this chapter of the Aitareya Brahmana, Atyarati promises to give the Earth to Vaishta as soon as he conquers it, but then he refuses to give it because he hasn't conquered Uttarakuru. Vasishta curses him, because Uttarakuru is the unconquerable land of the gods. | |
| Oct 24, 2015 at 18:27 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | It seems that the names of these cities are given in the Puranas, and Indra's city is called Amaravati: books.google.com/… That's the same as the name of Indra's city in Devaloka, so perhaps these cities don't surround Brahmapuri on land, but rather surround them in outer space. (As you said your portal idea is far-fetched.) | |
