Abstract

The central focus of this paper is on the geographical elements like mountains, rivers and places mentioned in the Puranas. Among them, Bhagavatamahapurana has mainly been consulted for this purpose. The source indicates that the names of the mountains and rivers are similar even today as they were in the ancient period. The paper describes the fact that no one can find out the exact knowledge about the universe. The universe is with in the subject of the Vedic Cosmology. This cosmology has also been narrated in the Puranas. The universe is endless and has no limited boundary. All the living beings that appear today were created by the God and at last merge into the God. This tradition continues. The atheists do not believe the God. However, they accept the nature as all in all.
