The different lower Lokas

Bhagavatham describes Rahu (Simhika’s son) and how he causes solar and lunar eclipses (grahanam) to Sun and Moon.

The lower worlds are called Athalam, Vithalam, Suthalam, Thalathalam, Mahathalam, Rasathalam and Pathalam. They are called Bilaswargas. These worlds are ideal places to offer all sensory pleasures and luxuries.

They give sweetest music to the ears, delicious food to the tongue and most attractive scenes to lure the eyes. Men and women among various kinds of beings including serpents untiringly indulge in physical activities of pleasure devoid of fear of aging and death.

There is only one thing that can destruct them and hence cause fear in them. It is the Lord’s Sudarsana Chakram!

Note – Why the lower worlds are so attractive? Because they cater to the needs of senses. As long as your mind is caught up in the bodily attractions it is very difficult to overcome them and uplift your mind to the Higher Truth.
