Prithivi

There were two great glacial periods during the Atlantean era, followed by other less intense periods, which lasted one Saturn year (30 years). This was a natural reaction against quite torrid periods on the Earth.

Indian philosophy neither names nor refers to the absolute principle existing beyond any principle; the Buddha is the luminous exemplar of this modality in those ancient masters of India, for constantly he refused to speak of the beginning of the INFINITE.

The terrestrial element, Prithivi, creates elementals as guardians and caretakers of terrestrial movements, growth of trees, vegetation, and reserve of lands that the man should not contaminate. For an old legend, these beings are short, long-bearded and grotesque; according to tales and mysteries arisen from fantasy of the people, they have been called dwarfs, goblins, gnomes, et cetera.
