1.THE FORMLESS BEGINNING: PARAM BRAHMAM-hyperspace as in quantum science
Vedic Concept
The Nasadiya Sukta (Rigveda 10.129.1-2) is the myth of the first moments in existence:.
Rigveda 10.129.1-2
“Then, there was neither existence nor non-existence,
Nor was there air, nor the sky beyond.
What covered it, and where? Who knows?
There was neither death nor immortality,
Nor was there any distinction of night or day.
That One (Tat Ekam) breathed, windless, by its own power.”.
Meaning: This means that in the beginning, there was nothing—not even time, space, or matter. Only Param Brahmam, the infinite formless source, existed. There was a state of total voidness, containing all possibilities of creation.
Science Connection:
According to string theory, there cannot be absolute empty space. Let us forget our perception that something is difficult to create, as the opposite is true. There shall forever be something, and nothing is hard to produce. This state is known as hyperspace—a state before the Big Bang, the Param Atmam.
2.OM: The Creative Sound
Vedic Concept:
The Mandukya Upanishad (1-2) says:
“OM is the imperishable sound,
The past, present, and future,
And that which transcends time itself.”
OM is the vibration that began and sustains the universe. It represents the rhythm of creation and destruction, much like waves in a vast ocean , this vibration or string change param brahma to nara(cosmic ocean ) to create the ultimate consciousness narayana .
Science Connection:
In string theory, the fundamental building blocks of the universe are tiny vibrating strings. These vibrations determine the nature of particles, similar to how OM shapes the universe. The gravitational waves from the Big Bang also provide evidence of the universe’s first vibrations.
2.NARAYANA: THE FIRST CONSCIOUSNESS
Vedic Concept: Vedic Concept:
Bhagavata Purana (2.10.3): Bhagavata Purana (2.10.3):
Narayana is the ultimate spirit, the basis of all manifestation. Through His will, the cosmic waters stirred, and the process of creation began.”.
In the Vedic perception, Nara is the manifestation of the cosmic abodes (PARAM BRAHMAM+om vibration). Narayana may, and this is so perhaps, be the first spiritual mind in the cosmic ocean, as the one who observes and also the one to initiate or a conscious energy with which it is difficult to identify, turns the infinite into manifest reality by attributing consciousness to it.
3.NASADIYA SUKTA: HEAT AS THE DRIVING FORCE (BIG BANG)
Vedic Concept: Vedic Concept:
Non-existence wasn’t, yet existence wasn’t then.
Dust didn’t exist, nor did space beyond.
What moved back and forth? Where? In whose care?
Did water exist deep, impervious?
Death wasn’t, immortality wasn’t thence.
Day was not distinguished by the night.
Without breathing air, the one by power of self-establishment –
None else beyond that was.
Darkness it was, hidden by darkness, at the point.
Undistinguished, unsteady, all this was.
Hidden by nothing, coming to being, it was.
The one manifested by the greatness of heat.
At the point, passion evolved,
Over the thought, which was the first seed.
The bond of existence they found in non-existence:
The poets, seeking in heart, by wisdom.
Across was stretched, the cord.
What was below …? What was above …?
There were the great establishers of seed.
Self-establishment was beneath, Effort beyond.
Who really knows, who could here proclaim
When this has manifested – when – this release.
Towards are the devas, of this wide release.
(So) who really knows from where it has come to be!
This widespread release, as it would eventually become .
Or else if it was “established”, or else if not.
That is, he who watches over it in the upper realm .
Yes, it knows or at least he doesn’t know….
Here, heat (tapas) is described as the force that brought the formless into existence (the Big Bang). It ignited creation-bigbang the dense heat of small size.
Science Connection
The Big Bang was a hot, dense sphere of matter from which heat and energy drove matter into existence and space. The Vedic idea of heat as a driving force aligns with the scientific understanding that the early universe was unimaginably hot and dense—just like the Big Bang.
4.MULTIPLE UNIVERSES: SPARKS OF CREATION
Vedic Concept
The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (2.5.19) says: The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (2.5.19) says:
“As countless sparks arise from a blazing fire,
So do countless universes arise from Brahman,
The infinite and eternal source.”
It means that the infinite Param Brahmam has not just [one] but [other] universes as multiples (multiverses). Every universe is kind of a bubble that comes from the cosmic sea, and it’s expanding and developing all by itself.
Science Connection
Multiverse theory in modern physics implies that our universe is one of many. In the Big Bang, the expansion regions of space could have expanded at varying rates, leaving behind “bubble universes” where one part expands in a different manner than in the other. This scientific notion corresponds to the Vedic idea of an infinite number of sparks of creation.
5.OM: THE CREATIVE SOUND
Vedic Concept: Vedic Concept:
The Mandukya Upanishad (1-2) says: The Mandukya Upanishad (1-2) says:
“OM is the imperishable sound,
The past, present, and future,
And that which transcends time itself.”
OM is the vibratory phenomenon that started and continues the cosmos. It is the rhythm of creation and destruction, akin to waves in an endless sea.
Science Connection
In string theory, the fundamental building blocks of the universe are tiny vibrating strings. These vibrations define the identity of the particles, as the OM defines the universe. Gravitational waves emitted by the Big Bang are also a proof of the vibration of the earliest universe.
6.CONSCIOUSNESS AND HIGHER DIMENSIONS
Vedic Concept: Vedic Concept:
The Katha Upanishad (2.1.10-11) says: The Katha Upanishad (2.1.10-11) says:
“Beyond the senses is the mind,
Beyond the mind is the intellect,
Beyond the intellect is the great Atman (soul),
And beyond the Atman is Brahman.”
Higher dimensions of existence are listed in the Vedas, including the realm where consciousness (Atman) detaches from the physical reality and reaches the infinite Brahman.
Science Connection
According to modern physics, in particular, string theory, the number of dimensions in the universe is greater than we can perceive. The Vedic idea of higher planes of existence resonates with the scientific idea of hidden dimensions.
If these are by chance coincidence, as argued by some ,then the probability of coincidence.
This implies that the probability of this finding due to chance is 1/1 million. If there are still an increasing number of interpretations the probability would be still even lower.
