- The Bhu-mandala system is a gigantic disk-shaped region in
- higher-dimensional space. Its 3-dimensional projection is on the
- ecliptic. Ordinary human beings cannot see the physical disk of
- Bhu-mandala, because our senses are not sophisticated enough. But its
- existence has been reported by demigods and advanced yogis.

-
- Yes, the Moon is closer in linear distance, but higher than the sun in
- the "z" coordinate. However, this is a 3-dimensional analogue of what is
- actually a higher dimensional situation.

- So you say, but this is only your opinion. You cannot see Rahu, but that
- does not mean it doesn't exist.
