In Hinduism, Brahmapura is the abode of Brahma, one of the three Trimurti. It is located on Mount Meru. It is also referred to as Brahmaloka or Satyaloka in all of the puranas. Brahmapura is the topmost loka within this material universe. == Upanishads, Advaita == In the Puranas, and already in the Atharvaveda, there are fourteen worlds, seven higher ones (vyahrtis) and seven lower ones (patalas), viz. bhuu, bhuvas, svar, mahas, janas, tapas, and 'satya' above and atala, vitala, sutala, rasaataala, talatala, mahaatala, patala and naraka below. During each pralaya, the lower ten realms (loka) are destroyed 〔B. K. Chaturvedi (2004). Shiv Purana. Diamond Pocket Books. p. 124. ISBN 8171827217〕 while the higher four realms, including Satya-loka, Tapa-loka, Jana-loka, and Mahar-loka are preserved. During each Mahapralaya, all 14 realms are destroyed. The Chāndogya Upaniṣad says in 8:1:1〔http://ishwar.com/hinduism/holy_upanishads/chhandogya_upanishad/part_08.html〕 that within the Brahmapura "is an abode, a small lotus-flower within which is a small space (antarakasa). What is within that, should be searched out; that, assuredly, is what one should desire to understand." Further there are Hiranyapura 〔http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m03/m03172.htm Hiranyapura〕(golden city) and Siddhapura〔http://www.experiencefestival.com/siddhapura〕 or White Island. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brahmapura」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
