BIGBANG
It says Brahman is that ultimate 'world’ which we gain access to by distilling the world down to its inmost content, or the furthest stop from where we get off by traveling backwards in time-space. Astronomical observations have confirmed more or less beyond doubt that stars, galaxies and clusters of super galaxies are receding from the earth and from one another.
HINDUISM IS SCIENCE
Deciphering the Mysteries and Wonders of STRING THEORY through HINDUISM
The real question which is the root cause for all of this discussions are why and how these two vastly different subjects, the modern sciences and the Vedas interrelated? Any deep, scientific analysis of Hinduism and Physics should be done by experts within their respective fields working together. Admittedly, I am not an expert in either field; therefore I will limit my comparison in both depth and scope. I will try to point out how, when one compares the Hindu notion of Brahman with the specific branch of Theoretical Astrophysics known as String Theory, that gross similarities appear between these two ideas due to the poetical, structural, and mystical nature of these two vastly different subjects.
Due to the intensively mathematical nature of String Theory, I will only briefly explain what it is in order to show its relevance to the comparison. String Theory is an attempt by Physicists to find a unified description of all forces in the Universe, a quest between quantum physicists and academicians in the field of relativity. String Theory "a structure that pushes the frontiers of mathematics and conceptual limitations of the human imagination to the extremes". In String Theory, the basic units in the universe are not particles (such as neutrons, protons, quarks, and other sub-atomic particles) which occupy a single point of space, but things that have a length but no other dimension, like an infinitely thin piece of string. These `Superstrings', as they are often called, may have ends or they may be joined up with themselves in closed loops. In String Theory all the particles which we have so far discovered emerge as vibrations of these Superstrings. String Theory, matter becomes nothing more than the harmonies created by these vibrating Superstrings. There are an infinite number of forms of matter that can be constructed out of the vibrating Superstrings. This explains the richness of the particles in nature. Out of this cosmic orchestra all of the matter, energy, space, and time emerges and becomes all of the things that we see around us. String Theory explains that we are in a medium with 11 Dimensions around us unlike our present understanding that we have only 4 Dimensions.
Now let us look at the Hindu corollary to this theory, which is given in the Upanishads.
"According to the Upanishads,...everything has come from the same source, called pure Being. From pure Being emerges pure space. When pure space begins to vibrate, air, the next element, comes into being. From the friction of air comes fire and fire then products water in the same way that we begin to sweat when it is hot. And when the sediment from water settles the element of earth arises"
Here it points out two similarities to String Theory, One: the vibrations of space give way to the `elements'. Two: the elements that he mentions, curiously enough, match the four different states of matter, which are plasma, gas, liquid, and solid.
Coming back to epic Mahabharatha,
Here is some of the excerpts from Bhagwat Gita in Sanskrit language followed by translation. ( Translation from Stephen Mitchell)
KRISHNA TO ARJUNA
Look Arjuna Thousands Millions of my divine forms Beings of all kinds and sizes Of every color and shape The whole Universe , all things Animate or inanimate Are gathered here-Look -enfolded Inside my infinite body
But since you are not able To see me with mortal eyes I will grant you divine sight ..look Look! The depths of my power!
ARJUNA TO KRISHNA
With innumerable mouths and eyes Faces too marvelous to stare at Dazzling ornaments, innumerable Weapons uplifted, flaming-Crowned with fire, wrapped In pure light, with celestial fragrance He stood forth as the infinite God, composed of all wonders If a thousand suns were to rise And stand in the noon sky , blazing Such brilliance would be like the fierce Brilliance of that mighty self Arjuna saw the whole universe Enfolded, with its countless billions Of life forms, gathered together In the body of the God of gods. All gods in your body And multitudes of beings, Lord, And Brahma on his lotus throne And the seers , and the shining angles I see you every where , with billions Of arms, eyes, bellies, faces Without end, middle, or beginning Your body the whole universe, Lord I see you beginningless, endless, Infinite power , with billion Arms, the sun and moon Your eyeballs, the flames of your mouth lighting the universe with splendor you alone fill all space and the three worlds shudder when they see your astounding, terrifying form As moths rush into a flame And are burned in an instant, all Beings plunge down your gullet And instantly are consumed you gulp down all worlds, everywhere swallowing them in your flames and your rays, Lord Vishnu, fill all the universe with dreadful brilliance who are you in this terrifying form? Have mercy, Lord ..grant me even A glimmer of understanding To prop up my staggering mind
KRISHNA SAID:
I am death, shatterer of worlds, annihilating all things with or without you, these warriors in their facing armies will die Therefore stand up; win glory; Conqueror the enemy; rule Already I have struck them down; You are just my instrument Arjuna
ARJUNA SAID:
Why should they bow, eternal Creator, infinite lord? You are both being and non being, And what is beyond them both, The primal God, the Primordial Person , the ultimate place Of the universe, the knower and the known, The presence that fills all things
Again and again I bow you Form all sides, in every direction, Majesty infinite in power You pervade- no you are -all things Having seen what no mortal has seen I am joyful, yet I quiver with dread, Show me your other form -please- The one that I know; have mercy
KRISHNA SAID
Graciously for your sake Arjuna I showed you my highest form- Dazzling, infinite, primal Which no one has seen but you The vision that you have been granted Is difficult to attain Even the Gods are always Longing or behold me like this Not by study or rites Or alms or ascetic practice Can I be seen in this cosmic Form , as you have just seen me
Krishna blesses Arjuna with divine sight , which could not been seen with naked eye to feel the awesome display of his multidimensional and multicolored universal form. As observed by Arjuna, Krishna's transcendental form has no beginning ,no middle and no ending.
Bhagvad Gita tackles the most advanced theories of physics describing the gravity, time travel and multiple dimensions. Bhagvad Gita (Song of God) irrespective of its religious affiliation, shines in front of the most intellectuals in the world , and must be read book, for enthusiasts of string theory and unification theory. The line between a sacred philosophy " Bhagvad Gita" and the most advanced theory of Physics " String theory" is getting blurred and both try to make us understand the true intent and purpose of our lives in this complex universe.

Gayatri Mantra - Big Bang Theory
Gayatri Mantra is held next to AUM in most hindu scriptures. It is one mantra that is common to many sects of Hinduism. AUM indicates the Universe, its composition in terms of particles and states of matter. Gayatri Mantra indicates how AUM the Universe or cosmos expanded or came into being. More precisely, it points to the Big Bang theory for the formation of Universe or AUM.
Aum
Bhuh Bhuvah Sva
Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi
Dhiyo Yo nah Prachodayat
~ The Rig Veda (10:16:3)
The First Word Om (Aum)
It is also called Pranav because its sound emanates from the Prana (vital vibration).
Hence, Aum indicates the Universe
The "Vyahrities": Bhuh, Bhuvah & Svah
Bhu indicates 'Springing', 'comes into being', 'arises of', 'place of being' etc. From the perspective of 'place', bhu indicates also earth. In fact all the above three words of the Gayatri are called Vyahrities. Vyahriti is that which gives knowledge of entire cosmos or "ahriti". Bhu, Bhuva, Svah can also be mapped to Past, Present, Future (in time domain), Tamas, Rajas, Satwah (in physical properties domain).
'
Bhuvas as a vyahriti, indicates atmosphere or the space between Earth and Heaven. The direct meaning of Bhuva is 'of Agni' or 'of fire'.
"
Sva as a vyahriti, indicates heaven or space above atmosphere. Sva also indicates on ones own.
"
If Big Bang theory is true, then universe came into being from that massive explosion (heat). Is this what the Gayatri indicates..? And the seed of that fire is the Savitr.
The Remaining Words
Tat simply means "that" or "thus" or "in this way"
Savitr means 'Stimulator' or 'arouser'. It is also used to indicate light, wisdom. Many scholars interpret it as Sun itself. Many scholars associate it with a spiritual Sun and not the physical sun.
Traditionally savitr indicates sun before rise or light in physical or spiritual domain. The sun just before sun rise is indicated as Savitr. Actual Sun is referred to as Surya.
Assuming Savitr indicates Stimulator or Arouser (one that arouses), Savitr indicates the seed of fire, which matches with the usage of 'Savitr' to denote the Sun just before the Sun rise.
" tat savitr" indicates, "that arouser or that seed of fire"
Varenium means “adore" or 'adore-able' or excellent
" tat savitr varenyam" indicates, "arouser or seed of fire that is adorable or excellent"
Bhargo means "illumination" or 'radiance'
Devasya means "Divine" or "Divine like or pure"
Dheemahi means "we contemplate, desire or wish upon or meditate'
"Bhargo devasya dheemahi" indicates, "we meditate/desire on that divine-like or pure radiance"
Dhiyo means "true knowledge or understanding of reality"
Yo means "who"
Nah means "ours"
Prachodayat means "excites/inspires/commands/proclaims (life)/"
"Dhiyo yonah prachodayat" indicates, "True knowledge of the one who commands/excites/inspires"
"
" tat savitr varenyam" indicates, "that seed of fire that is adorable or excellent"
"Bhargo devasya dheemahi" indicates, "we meditate on that pure radiance"
"Dhiyo yonah prachodayat" indicates, "True knowledge of the one who excites/inspires(gives life)"
"Universe/cosmos arises from the seed of fire on its own, the seed of fire that is excellent, we desire/wish/meditate on that divine radiance, true knowledge of who gives life (excites/inspires/commands)"
AUM, the pranava, life vibration, that has the entire universe in itself, gives rise from savitr the seed of fire, is what the Gayatri Mantra describes. The person reciting Gayatri Mantra asks or meditates on the divine pure radiance and true knowledge of life source.
Since Gayatri Mantra describes the way we evolved and our evolution, or the secret of our evolution, it is administered in utmost secrecy and sacredness.
One reason our ancestors asked us to memorize things and repeat them is that; many times realization of a particular phrase or sentence doesn't come to us, just on reading them. Over a period, after undergoing multiple experiences in life, suddenly the meaning of the phrase becomes clear. Sometimes, we will understand it very lately. Hence if a person who understands sanskrit, memorizes Gayatri Mantra and keeps on reciting it, over a period he would find layers of meanings in it and there will be multiple realization. This way it would benefit him.
**I want to thank my dearest friends and philosophers ‘TheBigThinking’ and ‘Rudra’ in making me understand and clearing my doubts on this matter…..

The Secrets of Piloting a Vimana
I have compiled some very interesting information on VIMANAS….
All intelligent thoughts have already been thought; what is necessary is only to try to think of them again. Im so proud to be part of this great civilization…..
"The pilot is one who knows the secrets"
Bodhaanada: Scientists say that there are 32 secrets of the working of the Vimaana. A pilot should acquaint himself thoroughly with them before he can be deemed competent to handle the aeroplane. He must know the structure of the aeroplane, know the means of its take off and ascent to the sky, know how to drive it and how to halt it when necessary, how to maneuver it and make it perform spectacular feats in the sky without crashing. Those secrets are given in "Rahashya Lahari" and other works by Lalla and other masters, are are described thus:
"The pilot should have had training in maantrica and taantrica, kritaka and antaraalaka, goodha or hidden, drishya and adrishya or seen and unseen, paroksha and aparoksha, contraction and expansion, changing shape, look frightening, look pleasing, become luminous or enveloped in darkness, deluge or pralaya, vimukha, taara, stun by thunderstorm din, jump, move zig-zag like serpent, chaapala, face all sides, hear distant sounds, take pictures, know enemy maneuver, know direction of enemy approach, stabdhaka or paralyse, and karshana or exercise magnetic pull.
According to the Vymankia Shastra, purportedly written by Maharishi Bharadwaja in the 4th Century BC, these are some of the secrets to piloting a vimana. They include:
Maantrika: The invoking of mantras which will permit one to achieve certain spiritual and hypnotic powers so that he can construct airplanes which cannot be destroyed.
Taantrika: by acquiring some of the Tantric powers, one may endow his aircraft with those same powers.
Goodha: This secret permits the pilot to make his vimana invisible to his enemies. Adrishya accomplishes the same purpose by attracting 'the force of the ethereal flow in the sky.
Paroksha: This helpful hint enables the pilot to paralyze other vimanas and put them out of action.
Aparoksha: One may employ this ability to project a beam of light in front of his craft to light his way.
Viroopa Karana: With this skill mastered, the pilot can produce 'the thirty-second kind of smoke', charge it with 'the light of the heat waves in the sky' and transform his craft into a 'very fierce and terrifying shape' guaranteed to cause 'utter fright to onlookers'.
Roopaanara can cause the vimana to assume such shapes as those of the lion, tiger, rhinoceros, and serpent - even a mountain- to confuse observers.
Suroopa: If one can attract the thirteen kinds of 'Karaka force', one can make the vimana appear to be 'a heavenly damsel bedecked with flowers and jewels'.
Pralaya: This deadly secret pushed electrical force through the 'five-limbed aerial tube' so that the pilot may 'destroy everything as in a cataclysm'.
Vimukna sends a poison powder through the air to produce 'wholesale insensibility and coma'.
Taara: This ability, once mastered, provides the pilot with another means of avoiding contact with an enemy or hiding his purpose from observers: 'By mixing with ethereal force 10 parts of air force, 7 parts of water force, and 16 parts of solar glow, and projecting it by means of the star-faced mirror through the frontal tube of the vimana, the appearance of a star-spangled sky is created.'
Saarpa-Gamana: This secret enables the pilot to attract the forces of air, join them with solar ryas, and pass the mixture through the center of the craft so the vimana will 'have a zig-zagging motion like a serpent'.
Roopaakarshana permits the pilot to see inside an enemy's airplane, while Kriyaagrahana allows one to spy on 'all the activities going on down below on the ground'.
Jalada roopa instructs the pilot in the correct proportions of certain chemicals which will envelop the vimana and give it the appearance of a cloud."
Aavartaas or aerial whirlpools are innumerable in the above regions. Of them the whirlpools in the routes of the vimanas are five.
In the Rekhapathha there occurs the whirlpool of winds. In Kakshya-pathha there occurs Kiranavarta or whirlpool from solar rays. In Shaktipathha there occurs Shytyaavarta or whirlpool of cold currents. And in Kendrapathha there occurs gharshanavartaor whirlpool by collision. Such whirlpools are destructive of vimanas, and have to be guarded against.
"The pilot should now these five sources of danger, and learn to steer clear of them to safety."

The Entire Cosmology Explained- TRIMURTHI
I personally believe that the more one explores the universe, the more obvious it gets to discover the current principles of BRAHMA, SHIVA and VISHNU at work.
The ancient rishis and their study of Vedic astrology clearly were the founders of modern day astronomy. As observers of the truth, which is what the Vedas are a compilation of, they observed celestial bodies, their movements and the effects on the human psyche. Introducing truths about the nature of the universe that are only beginning to be re-discovered today by “cutting edge” minds and the most brilliant of scientist using the latest equipment.
The rishis where able to achieve this with only the power of the mind and awareness of the true essence of consciousness, no equipment was required! While the rishi’s of Vedic times used terms such as Agni, Indra, and Soma as important deities, it was understood that over time different terms and names would be used by humanity. For the purpose of clarity I will be using use the terms Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu. They will more clearly illustrate the concepts of what I’m about to say.
The rishis tell us of the galactic center of the universe, which feeds energy to all the galaxies and solar systems of the universe. A modern discovery is beginning to reinforce this belief. To explore this, three centers must be identified,
1) The center of a solar system (Sun)
2) The center of a galaxy
3) The galactic center of the universe.
Our focus here will be on the first two centers. In exploring these two centers we will discover the current Hindu principles of Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu at work. Those these same principles can be explored using the galactic center of the universe also.
Before beginning it is important to understand what the theory of a blackhole is. While this is a vast and complex subject, I will try and provide a brief introduction. A blackhole is a star that has consumed so much of its energy that it no longer is able to release that energy and becomes overwhelmed by its own gravitational forces. In essence collapsing in on itself. This collapse actually creates a tear or warp in the fabric of the universe. This warp is theorized to bend time and space, it is a place where the laws of physics possibly don’t exist as we know them. Space and time become infinite.
It all began with the search for blackholes in the universe. Originally there was only a theory about the existence of blackholes, but over time using radio telescopes scientist began to receive glimpses of blackholes but only while they were “feeding” or consuming matter. It is during this “feeding” time that particles are expelled through the polar points of a blackhole, allowing it to be seen with radio telescopes. Over time a blackhole was discovered in the center of a galaxy. The question arose “could there be more blackholes at the center of a few galaxies?” After watching matter and objects “warble” while circling the center of galaxies, it was discovered that most if not all galaxies have a blackhole at their center. This was a revolutionary discovery since blackholes are viewed primarily as destructive devises. This clearly is one of the many aspects of SHIVA (the destroyer), but functioning on the scale of a galaxy.
The next question for the scientist was “why do blackholes appear to turn on and off with their “feeding”?” With their tremendous gravitational pull blackholes should consume an entire galaxy over time. The discovery was quite exciting. It was discovered that “winds” or energy being released at the poles of the blackhole actually pushes against the matter of the galaxy, which is being pulled by the gravity of the blackhole. Once the wind from the blackhole equals the pull of the gravitational field from the blackhole equilibrium is obtained and the blackhole stops “feeding”. This balance or preservation principle is a manifestation of VISHNU (the preserver).
If this balance is disturbed the Vishnu principle stops and the destructive principle of Shiva begins until equilibrium is obtained again. The energy being ejected from the blackhole becomes the basis for creation within the galaxy (BRAHMA-the creator).
This process can even be observed in the actual blackhole itself. When the blackhole is not “feeding” equilibrium exists and the Vishnu principle dominates. Though the Brahma and Shiva principles are still in existence, I will explore this in just a moment. If equilibrium is lost then the Shiva principle of destruction activates through the blackhole beginning to “feed” again.
This feeding causes the expulsion of molecules and initiates the creation principle again. We can even go so far as to see that this process of is occurring on the molecular level of the blackhole itself. Steven Hawking proved mathematically that it is possible for the blackhole, even with its tremendous gravity, to slowly lose a molecule at a time. So over time a blackhole will eventually cease to exist due to the loss of molecules. Once again the loss of molecules (Shiva-the destruction of the blackhole), will eventually lead to more creation (Brahma-through the molecules being some of the building blocks of matter—escaping the infinite time/space, and generating finite time/space matter), and all of this occurs even during the period that the blackhole is “not active” or feeding; what we would call balance or the Vishnu principle.
We can see the trinity (Shiva, Brahma, and Vishnu) manifest even in the physics and quantam physics formulas for calculating the event horizon of blackholes. Which is the only current way known to estimate the size of a blackhole. The event horizon is the point in which light can no longer escape from the gravitational pull of a blackhole.
The mathematical formula is GM/c2 where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the black hole and C is the speed of light. In this formula G can be viewed as Vishnu, Brahma would be the factor M, and Shiva would be C. It should be noted that depending on how one were to look at it the roles of Shiva and Brahma could be reversed i.e. Shiva=M and Brahma=C.
A similar process exists on the solar system level also. Equilibrium is obtained between the Sun and planets (Vishnu), eventually the Sun will go super nova and destroy this solar system (Shiva), only to begin the long process of creation again (Brahma). Even within the balance of the solar system (Vishnu), Brahma can still be seen at work through the solar winds and magnetic waves from the sun that are channeled to the poles and stimulate the inner core of the earth giving physical manifestation to Agni on the earthly plane.
The greatest gift the Rishis left for us is a reminder of the power of mind and an understanding of consciousness. With these two, we each are reminded that we truly are a limitless, boundless, being. Overtime scientist will re-discover the Vedic truth, that all the universe is fed from the galatic center. This will open the door for the realization that man exists within a huge field of gravitational and magnetic impulses. These flows are reflected by the planets (grahas). It will be realized that mankind has actually had the ability to read these fields from at least 6000 BCE.
It is important to note that Shiva, Brahma, and Vishnu are much more than just forces within blackholes, or the galaxy. But being terms for the divine truth, they must have their representation in all things. We must learn to see the trinity of divine principles (Gods) manifest in all aspects of life and creation. To see and understand this was the ability of our ancient ancestors, and it is each of ours birthright….
In my coming updates, I will discuss more about what it means about Multiverse, and how it differs from the term we are all very clear of, the UNIVERSE!!!
SANSKRIT- an alien language brought to this world by sages!!!
Sanskrit was introduced on earth by the eternal sages of vedic era. There has never been any kind, class or nature of change in the science of Sanskrit grammar as seen in other languages of the world as they passed through one stage to another. This is known history!!
In other words sanskrit is an alien language that was brought to earth by those aliens (ancient Indians including sages) who came to earth from their mother planet. The sages of vedic era (Called Rishis in sanskrit) were the researchers and scientists of those days. They had different levels like Junior Scientist, Senior Scientist etc who were called Rishis, Maharshis and Brahmarshis, Brahmarshis being the senior most of them. It was taught on planet earth by the ancient Indian sages (scientitsts) whose fore fathers were from some alien planet…
I’ve chosen some of these words in Sanskrit that describes cosmology in simple single words…
Please get ready to be amazed….
ADITI:
The mother/origin of divine powers. In terms of cosmology, it symbolizes joint impact 3 fundamental elements of cosmic creation
1)mitra
2)varuna
3)aryama
APAH:
Indicates the stimulated, active, collective state of mitra, varuna and aryama. Accounts for the manifested dynamic state of Nature and hence is also named as maya. The illusion of seeing the unique eternal sat in varieties of ever changing forms and actions in the world.
VRATAH:
The activity of fundamental particles does not result in any creation on its own. Its existence and functions are subject to the God’s will.
TWASTAH:
It represents the fundamental radiations (energy waves) generated by the evolutionary impulse in Apah that lead to Vajrah
VAJRAH:
Symbolizes the grand collision of masses (momentum).
HIRANYA GARBHA: [My Personal favourite]
Represents the infinite explosions.
It represents the golden womb/ golden egg, is the source of the creation of the universe.
In the RIGVEDA it is said that hiranyagarbha floated around in water in emptiness and the darkness of the non-existence for about a year and then broke into 2 halves which formed the SWARGA and PRITHVI, and most likely other parts of the universe. It is believed that Brahma was born from Hiranyagarbha.
VASHISTHA:
Symbolizes the charge-less particles emitted from what is left in the fundamental mass beyond mitra/varuna. It is NEUTRON in the language of physics.
The state if transition from equilibrium to non-equilibrium of sat, raj and tam gunas.
NAKTAH:
Marks the infinite absorption of all creation, absolute destruction of the universe.
SOMAH:
Represents the cosmic radiant energy. Its physically manifested form is what generates solar, lunar and other kinds of lights and energy radiations from different planets, stars and other huge balls of activated mass.
MITRA-VARUNA
Fundamental particles of opposite charges that constitutes the atoms of any mass. VARUNA is positively charged PROTONS. MITRA the opposite, negatively charges ELECTRONS. VEDIC HYMNS: mitra surrounds all nuclei of existence and together with varuna (in the nucleus) generates the beauty and perfection of structure.
ARYAMAN:
Represents the enrgy/radiations that pervade in a mass apart from PROTONS, NEUTRONS and ELECTRONS.
MATARISWAN:
The colossal momentum generated by the energy explosion of the Big Bang. If gives rise to the expansion of initial mass.
VAISWANARA AGNI:
Represents the ensemble force of all energies of nature. All the energies of the nature. All the dynamic physical energies, devouring, enjoying, purifying, preparing, assimilating, forming become possible through its force. It is the will in vital spiritual energy (prana) and the dynamic force of bioenergy.
न हि तापयितुं शक्यं सागरांभस्तृणोल्कया॥
Even when instigated by others,
the mind of a pious person never hesitates (to take the right decision).
It is not possible to heat the water of ocean by a torch of dried grass.
