What is vishnunabhi that Sri Yukteswar spoke of our Sun circling, that also is the direct cause of the yugas? I thought this section would be especially of interest to Eric and mccoy. Eric because he asked here (above and mccoy, because we have been studying the binary of our Sun for some time now, and the bottom of this entry brings an important perspective on our understanding and interests.
What is VishnuNabhi ?
In the modern Yuga theory proposed by yogis like Sri Yukteshwar Giri, Paramhansa Yogananda etc. they talk about Yugas being related to the seperation between the sun and something they called "VishnuNabhi". They said the "VishnuNabhi" is the source of creative power and as we move away from it, mental virtue decreases and we move from Satyug to Kaliyug.
( They also talk about it being cyclical and the distance constantly increasing and decreasing gradually and proposed a new theory of the Yuga cycle. But this is not my point right now. For now, I just want to know about this "VishnuNabhi" )
What is the object or spot in the galaxy/universe being referred to as "VishnuNabhi"?
Right now, it is being taken as the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky way galaxy by almost everyone. What is traditionally said about VishnuNabhi : "The navel of Vishnu" that can help understand what it is. What do the scriptures say? It need not be a physical object, but a special spot that holds some connection with the unmanifest dimension.
