Creation of the Universe: Vedic/Puranic concepts of creation

by Srikanth S

Important modern scientific truths lie hidden in the highly colourful and symbolical language of the Vedas. Brahma does not mean the theological object of worship, but, it means ‘atomic state which pervades in 58 digits’. The ancients measured distances not even in astronomical light years that proved inadequate, but, in number of digits. ‘Hiranyaksha’ should not be taken as a demon. It indicates ‘gravitational power of the molten matter inside the earth’. Dhaataa or ‘Brahmaa’ is a star standing at a distance of 39 digits and Sarasvatee is its cosmic energy. The Universe as a whole is contracting. The Earth began to cool 1,000,000,000,000 (1 followed by 12-zeroes) years ago. Universe will go on contracting till it finally collapses in 33 digits of years according to our planet. “Om” is not a mere sound but an actual cosmic state which comes into being, when at the initial stage the three Gunas of Prakriti give rise by their interaction to the four states of matter called the charges, atomic, molecule and particle states, and consequently has dimensions like a concrete substance. Gods are stars with supernatural powers, such as the cosmic rays, attraction, repulsion etc. Shiva and Paarvattee are the names given to the spiritual and material aspects. Gajaanana is Aumkaara, which comes into existence, when the two aspects combine, during the process of manifestation. Viroopaaksha, Aadhaara Shaktee and Hiranyaaksha are the different names of the force of gravitation. Flying mountains are the crusts formed on the surface of the earth when it began to cool a billion years ago. Blueness of the sky is due to the presence in the cosmos of 10 Aumkaaras and the subtle forms of manifestations all around, having the brilliance of billions of suns. The dark spots in the sun are due to the absorption in it of the first planet preceding Mercury and God is not capable of being defined without the aid of the material aspect. The theory of creation, or more properly evolution, briefly is this that there is one Supreme Deity Paramatmaa, who pervades everything in the space. Within the circle of Paramaatmaa there is a smaller one representing the sphere of matter, from which periodically emerges the Manifest. Both of them are beginningless and are inherent in the space.
