Dean Dominic De Lucia - Hour 1 - Hollow Earth in the Puranas & Polar Expeditions
December 4, 2011
From São Paulo, Brazil, Dean Dominic De Lucia
discusses his book: "Hollow Earth in the Puranas." De Lucia was born in
Bethesda, Maryland. He studied Business Administration at the University
of Baltimore, and later on completed a two-year course in translating
at the Catholic University in São Paulo. He has maintained a life-long
interest in Indian Hindu philosophy and spiritual practices, which
ultimately led him to take up Vedic astrology. He began his studies in
1981 under Nalini Kanta Das or "Tom Hopke", and has been a student and
practitioner of the art ever since. His articles were published in two
Bangalore magazines, "The Astrological Magazine" and "Modern Astrology."
Dean has also written a book called "Astrologia Vedica". We'll discuss
Hindu traditions, specifically, the Vedas and the Puranas as Dean has
found accounts and stories in the Vedic scriptures related to "The
Hollow Earth" and "The Ancient Ones", the demigods or the giants that
are alleged to inhabit our inner Earth. Dean will talk about the present
day search for the openings to the hollow Earth as well as older
accounts and expeditions to the Antarctic and Arctic Circle. Most are
familiar with Admiral Byrd's claim of exploring the inner Earth but
there are others, of which involved Norwegian explorers, such as Olaf
Jansen's Story, also known as "The Smokey God - A Voyage to the Inner
World" and Fridtjof Nansen's "Fram" expedition. We'll talk about these
and the links in Vedic mythology and the stories of a northerly
Shambhala.
