Abstract: Einstein's spherically symmetric interior gravitational equations are investigated. Following Synge's procedure, the most general solution of the equations is furnished in case T11 and T44 are prescribed. The existence of a total mass function, M(r,t), is rigorously proved. Under suitable restrictions on the total mass function, the Schwarzschild mass M(r,t)=m, implicitly defines the boundary of the spherical body as r=B(t). Both Synge's junction conditions as well as the continuity of the second fundamental form are examined and solved in a general manner. The weak energy conditions for an emph{arbitrary boost} are also considered. The most general solution of the spherically symmetric anisotropic fluid model satisfying both junction conditions is furnished. In the final section, various exotic solutions are explored using the developed scheme including gravitational instantons, interior T-domains and D-dimensional generalizations.
