Information About The Janaloka Chakra
In our perception, everything possesses a yin yang of opposites (i.e., Light & Dark, South Pole & North Pole, Spiritual & Material, Superior & Inferior, High & Low, Positive & Negative, Soft & Hard, Heaven & Hell, Hot & Cold, Love & Hate, Feminine & Masculine, Attractive & Repulsive, etc.). A Loka is a luminous, spiritual sphere comparable to Yang. A Tala is a shadow, material sphere comparable to Yin. A Loka and a Tala are two seamless aspects to a specific state of consciousness.
Janaloka’s corresponding tala is Sutala.
Janaloka: (aka “Jana Loka”, “Jano Loka”, “Janoloka”, “Janar Loka” or “Janarloka”) Janaloka (Sanskrit) [from “jan” to be born + “loka” world, place]. Birth-world, world of pious men or saints; the third, counting downwards, of the seven lokas (principles or planes of a hierarchy), its tala (element or matter side) being sutala. Exoterically said to extend beyond the solar system, the abode of the kumaras belonging to a high plane, but one nevertheless inferior to those living in taparloka. The siddhas (saints, pious men) are stated to have their spiritual dwellings or rest periods in janarloka. There too, according to the Puranas, animals destroyed in the general kosmic conflagration are born again (SD 1:371). Janaloka is the heaven of saints. Sanandana and other pure-minded sons of Brahma reside in JanaLoka. Jana Loka is situated twenty millions of leagues above Dhruva. Janaloka is beyond the reach of the devouring flame of pralaya or general fire of all things at the end of a Kalpa. “By mystic yoga, great austerities and the renounced order of life, the pure destinations of Janoloka is attained. But by devotional yoga, one achieves My transcendental abode.” (SB 11.24.14)
