Modern Science is unable to explain the process of creation as of now.
The Big bang theory and Steady State theory have many loopholes and they do
not appeal to everybody. Anyways, I will not discuss Modern theories of
creation here. I am going to state what Vedas say about creation. Vedas are
the sacred text of Hinduism, Chapter 2.5 and 3.10 of Srimad Bhagavatam
deals with the process of creation. Before stating the theory, let me be
clear that the English language does not have exact equivalents of the
terms used in Vedic literature. So, I am using the terms and language used
by other translations although the exact interpretation can be understood
by reading the original text in Sanskrit.
Here is the theory: There are three basic material modes (qualities) of
nature: mode of goodness (Sattva), mode of passion (Rajah) and mode of
ignorance (Tamah). (SB 2.5.18) There are nine phases in creation besides
the one which naturally occurs due to the interaction of these three modes.
In this article, we will mostly look into these nine phases. Eternal time
is the primeval source of the interaction of the three modes of material
nature. (SB 3.10.14, 3.10.11)
1. Of the nine creations, the first one is the creation of
Mahat-tattva which is the result of the incarnation of the Supreme God
(known as Karanarnavasayi Visnu). Then time is manifested. And in course of
time, the three modes or qualities appear. Then, in the course of time, the
three qualities interact resulting in further creation. (SB 2.5.22,
3.10.15). Note that time is created by the Supreme God. So, for him,
everything (beginning, end) is occurring at the same moment.
2. Material activities are caused by Mahat-tattva's being agitated. Thus,
in the 2nd phase of creation, the false-ego (Aham) is generated in which
the material ingredients, material knowledge and material activities arise.
(SB 2.5.23, 3.10.15)
3. The sense perceptions and elements are created in the 3rd phase of
creation. Here are the details:
a. From the darkness of false ego, the first of five elements, namely the
sky (nabhah), is generated. Its subtle form is the quality of sound,
exactly as the seer is in relationship with the seen.
b. In the course of eternal time, due to the transformation (reactions) in
the sky, the air is generated with the quality of touch, and by previous
succession the air is also full of sound.
c. In the course of eternal time, due to the transformations in the air,
the fire is generated, taking shape with the sense of touch and sound.
d. In the course of time, due to the transformations in the fire, the water
is generated, full of juice and taste. As previously, it also has form,
touch and sound.
e. In the course of time, due to the transformations in the water, the
earth (solid) generated with the sense of odour. Thus, the qualities of
sense perceptions are fully represented on earth.
So the transformation took place in the following order: ether (or sky) ->
gas (air) -> fire -> liquid -> solid. (SB 2.5.25-29, 3.10.15, BG 10.8)
4. The fourth creation is the creation of knowledge and of working
capacity. (SB 3.10.16) This can be understood as the laws of nature.
5. The 5th creation is that of controlling deities by the interaction of
the mode of goodness, of which mind is the sum total. (SB 3.10.17)
6. The 6th creation is the ignorant darkness of the living entity, by which
the master acts as a fool. (SB 3.10.17)
Thus, after the creation of Mahat-tattva, time was manifested. Then 3
qualities of nature emerged in it. Then false ego was created. Then due to
mode of ignorance, matter (5 fundamental elements) was created. Then its
knowledge, and different activities of material knowledge come into play.
In other words, the powers that evolve matter, the knowledge of material
creations, and the intelligence that guides such materialistic activities
were generated. Mind was created due to the mode of goodness. Sense organs
were created due to mode of passion.
When all these became assembled by the force of energy of Supreme God, this
universe came into being. All the above are natural creations by the "maya"
of the Supreme Lord. Then a demi-god (Brahma) known as creator of the
universe came into existence, who has the brain like that of Supreme
Lord.{KR: Here one may fit Physics; SHIVA-SHAKTHI matter and energy=m and
a or m and g existed together as Ardhanareeswara; mass cannot be zero; a is
zero; so 1 and 0 is POORNAM; Nasadiya suktham thus only opens with Physics;
speed is potential energy; gravitation is zero; and though 2 elements ,
they existed only as one ,matter and energy ; purusha and Prakriti; purusha
and Maya; Purusha is consistently fixed and Maya appears to gear up with
the accelerations; PE changes gear to KE; AUM is heard due to friction; a
bang. Motion and Gravity are tied up F=ma >E=Mc2}
7. The 7th phase of creation is that of the immovable entities, like
creepers, the trees with and without flowers, pipe plants etc. They are of
6 kinds. (SB 3.10.19)
8. The 8th phase of creation is that of lower species of life, like cow,
goat, ass, mule jackal, tiger, birds etc. They are not intelligent species.
(SB 3.10.21-25)
9. The 9th phase of creation is the creation of human beings. In the human
race, the mode of passion is very prominent. Humans are always busy in the
midst of miserable life, but they think themselves happy in all respects.
(SB 3.10.26)
10. The 10th creation, which naturally occurs due to the interaction of
three modes are the creation of the demigods. They are of eight varieties:
(1) the demigods, (2) the forefathers, (3) the asuras, or demons, (4) the
Gandharvas and Apsaras, or angels, (5) the Yaksas and Raksasas, (6) the
Siddhas, Caranas and Vidyadharas, (7) the Bhutas, Pretas and Pisacas, and
(8) the superhuman beings, celestial singers, etc. All are created by
Brahma, the creator of the universe. (SB 3.10.28-29)
Any theory of creation is incomplete without estimating the age, shape
and size of universe. Vedas say that our universe is about 155.52 trillion
human years old, and its total life span is 311.04 trillion human years
(which is equivalent to 100 years of Brahma). In Srimada Bhagwata 5.20.38,
the diameter of the universe is quoted as 500,000,000 yojanas (1 yojanas is
equal to approx 9 miles, so its 4.5 trillion miles). The shape of the
universe is egg shaped (brahmanda = brahma+anda). It may be interesting to
observe that distance traveled by light in one day (186,000,000 * 3600 * 24
=~ 16 trillion miles) is equal to the perimeter of (vedic) universe
(approximating ellipse to circle, perimeter of universe = 4,500,000,000 *
3.1416 =~ 14 trillion miles).( KR: But we are more learned in others’
knowledge of fossils and dinosaurs age of 200, 300 million years, not based
on truth; 4.5 billion 13 billion years of movement (MAYA) and not sure yet;
and we will be writing extolling them)
So the idea of Macro and micro are explained in depth in Vedas; “we are
dot” theory of the west is ancient in our system. Tirumular verses are well
known, which I had written already. Panchabhutas from Brihadaranyaka, Keno
, Kathopanishad I had written long ago. Oppenheimer openly admitted it;
Stephen Hawking who refuted early, accepted the impossibility of a singular
theory scientifically. NASA did neither accept but not deny also, the Vedic
theory. World science theory and that of the Indian Vedic theory of nature
and physics, are unproved according to NASA as the theory is not
understood, in their language; similarly Modern science is still a young
kid but feels proud as kid does. Many surmises are only a hypothesis and a
story connected by some facts. Science explains the truth existing already
without being able to create another truth. Knowledge appears to increase.
But as we see the space or the space see us as a speck, Which Rishi Kanadha
explained(and this was written by me). K Rajaram IRS 301223
