EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from ancient Indian cosmology, the Earth is depicted as being sustained by a colossal cosmic turtle. This intriguing concept is a fundamental aspect of Hindu mythology and is known as the "Cosmic Turtle" or "Makarajyoti." The turtle, with its serene expression and expansive shell, is shown swimming in the vast expanse of space. The Earth, represented as a small disc, rests gently on the turtle's back. Surrounding the scene are various celestial bodies, including the sun, moon, and stars, which are believed to have been created from the turtle's body. The elephants, symbols of strength and stability, are shown standing on the back of the turtle. Their powerful forms and intricately detailed features reflect the rich artistic traditions of ancient India. These elephants, in turn, support the massive weight of the Earth, ensuring its balance and stability. This image is a testament to the intricate and complex systems of thought that have shaped human understanding of the natural world throughout history. The Cosmic Turtle is a fascinating phenomena that continues to intrigue scholars, artists, and spiritual seekers alike. The origins of this cosmogony are shrouded in antiquity, with various texts and traditions attributing its creation to different deities and mythological figures. Despite the passage of time, the Cosmic Turtle remains a powerful symbol of the interconnectedness of all things in the universe. This image is a reminder of the rich and diverse cultural heritage that has shaped human history and continues to inspire us today. It is a testament to the power of the human imagination and the enduring allure of the mysteries of the cosmos.
