________________ The shape of the occupied Universe is that of human being (in a standing position with two legs apart) with the height of 14 rajju, width of 7 rajju at the base, I rajju at the center, 5 rajju at the fifth heaven and 1 rajju at the top most. 343 cubic rajju is the measurement of the Universe. A rajju is a definite and well-defined very large number. The occupied Universe is surrounded by three kinds of air layers a water-like dense airy layer (Ghanodadhi Vatavalaya), dense airy layer (Ghanavatavalaya), layer of rarefied air (Tanu Vadavalaya). All the above numbers are not just adhoc numbers; it is possible to arrive at them with certain calculations as provided in scriptures. 3 Wonderful Size of Beings: The minimum height of a sidda is equivalent of 3.5 hand (4) hands=1 dhanush, 5.25 ft.). The maximum height is 525 dhanush (about 3100 ft). The size of an individual sidda is slightly less than that of the last body he had. Each soul has definite space points and these expand depending on the size of body in worldly existence. As there is no physical body in Moksha, size of sidda depends on the last body. They have either standing or sitting (padmasan) postures. 4 Path of Right Technology: Although the path to attain liberation is described in many ways, there is only one royal highway in terms of right faith, right knowledge and right conduct. In the laboratory of meditation of soul, continuous experiments have to be done in terms perfecting the art of meditation of the self and destroying karmas. One can launch oneself in the orbit of moksha by having the right technology of knowledge pertaining to these three jewels and ascend through the spaceship of pure soul; one will certainly land in this wonderful place. 5 Migration: The rate of increase of beings in the land is 608 in a period of six months as only these many souls can migrate to this land in the Universe in the state of moksha. The percentage increase may work out to be almost zero but the cumulative number is infinite. Migrations take place from 15 areas known as 5 Bharat, 5 Airawat and 5 Videh situated in the middle of the Universe. There could be a minimum gap of one unit of time (the smallest unit of time beyond which time is not divisible known as Samaya) and minimum gap of six months. In case of continuous salvation, it could be up to minimum of 2 units of time and maximum of 8 units of time. In one unit of time, a minimum of one living being attains moksha and maximum could be 108 living beings, with alternatives being within this number. 6 Automatic Launch: The nature of automatic launch, upward motion is due to its being free from all karma bondages which hold back the soul in the worldly existence. Let us take four examples to explain this process. 1. When a potter spins the wheel with a stick like object, the wheel revolves around the axis till its earlier momentum or existing impetus is exhausted. The souls in the worldly existence make attempts to reach the summit of the cosmos but do not succeed. In view of this previous experience/impetus, the emancipated soul soars upward to the wonderland. 2. When coated with mud, gourd vegetable sinks in the water. When the mud layer is washed, it floats on the water. Similarly, soul bonded with mud of karmas remains in worldly existence. When liberated from dirt of karmas, it moves upward only till the summit of the cosmos it reached. 3. When a castor seed ripens, it gets
