Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha:
Srimadh Vara Vara Munaye Namaha:

Ever wondered, the latest advancement of science & technology where, 
even satilites are sent to other planets. The so called expeditions 
are done in pacific ocean to find what is hidden at the bottom of the 
ocean?

I found a rare article in a site, sounds quite interesting.

Chakra Tirtha Kund (Phuskarini in Naimisarnya Divya Desam. UP)

At the junction of Dwapara and Kali-yuga, 80,000 sages headed by 
Saunaka Rishi wanted to perform a sacrifice to hold off the effects 
of the oncoming age of Kali. They asked Lord Brahma where they should 
hold the sacrifice, and he told them he would send his disc to the 
earth and they should perform the sacrifice where it hit. It struck 
the earth at Naimisaranya. The disc passed through the earth at this 
spot, Chakra-tirtha.

The Bhagavat Purana says there is no holy place on earth that 
compares to this one.

Chakra-tirtha is said to be the center of the universe. It is said 
that the large sweet-water spring that marks the location of Chakra-
tirtha has no bottom. The British wanted to disprove this as 
mythology, so they brought a cable and attempted to find the bottom. 
After more than 1000 metres (3300 ft) they ran out of cable and gave 
up.

Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan,
