Vedas v/s String Theory of Creation

                                                    Vedas  v/s  String theory of Creation

Knowledge of Hinduism in west is that it is cast based, worship cow and has many gods. Vedic wisdom has been totally ignored because acknowledgment of it will mean direct challenge to some of the beliefs of Abrahamic religions. There has been systematic attempt by western intellectuals and Christian missionaries to denigrate Vedic civilization. They invented Aryan invasion theory [1500BC], not only to negate Vedic civilization but to tell us that we were just barbaric society. Our all literature including history was labelled trash. It is now proved beyond doubt that there was no Aryan invasion. Aryans were Indian people. Vedic civilization antedated all human civilizations on this earth. Max Muller , inventor of Aryan invasion theory acknowledged before his death, “If you ask me where human civilization peaked….. My finger will point to India”.

Vedic knowledge is truly scientific and its wisdom is based on ultimate reality. It is true its teachings seem otherworldly and are spiritual in nature but it sheds lot of light on Creator and Creation. This aspect of its wisdom is being probed now in west. West is now leaning towards Vedic wisdom.

     Karl Sagan---“The Hindu religion………..It is only religion in which time scales correspond to modern cosmology”.

     Louis Jacolliot----“-Hindu revelation [Vedas] is of all revelations the only whose ideas are in perfect harmony with modern science…………”.

Dr Hagelin, physicist in his talk on Vedas and physics draws lot of parallel between two and states that Rigveda and physics have common unified field base. Vedas approach subject by probing self-[Atma] while science probes subject intellectually [Mathematically].

Today’s science cannot conclude whether God exists but at the same time it cannot conclude God does not exist. It talks of superintelligence behind this Creation. When it admits we live in uncertainty then it aught to admit it cannot have answers to all queries. Scientists like Galileo, Kepler, Newton, Kelvin, and Einstein believed in God but not in personal one. Planck, father of quantum theory said, “God is everywhere” while Einstein said, “God does not play dice with this universe”. Both scientists did not believe in personal God. This concept of impersonal God [Nirgun Brahman] was known to Hindu Rishi’s thousands of years back. Vedas say man is miniature universe. There is no difference between Cosmic Soul and individual soul. Individual soul is limited by physical body like ocean water is limited when kept in a tumbler. Science says matter has no locality. What exists is Energy. This whole universe is energy.. Its String theory talks of vibrations and different dimensions. Sequential unfoldment of Superstrings gives rise to diversified Universe. It is shuddering of infinite existence which leads to diversity [creation]. Variation in Existence can be experienced, say Rishi’s but Ultimate in silence cannot be experienced. This infinite existence is nonmatter which Vedas call Consciousness [Cosmic Soul].Science says that Unified field is ocean of infinite existence which   is akin cosmic soul [Consciousness] of Vedas.

What is this world made of? Matter is made of Atoms which in turn is made of Electrons, Protons, and Neutrons. The essential idea behind modern theory called String theory is that all different fundamental particles of standard model of particle physics are just different manifestations of one basic String. It means Electron in reality is a tiny loop of string. So according to this theory this whole universe is made of Strings. These strings vibrate in different directions. Resonance of these strings produces sound, which is first manifestation of Absolute in silence. This first sound according to Vedas is “OM”. Is it pure coincidence that Vedas say, OM is first manifestation of SIVA and modern science also says sound produced by strings is first manifestation?

In physics this evolving universe has geometric shapes called Superstrings. These Superstrings vibrate which causes diversity [Creation]. Unified field theory is trying to find unity in this diversity. Rigveda while giving blue print of this Creation also talks of vibrations [Sutas] before this Universe comes into existence. Vedic technologies like YOGA, Yajna etc. are all based on Unification [unified field tech].

       Yoga is the complete settling of the activity of mind and a tool to reveal mysteries of nature.

          Let us now find further similarities between Vedic knowledge and modern science.

      3. Vedas say elementary particles are                               Universe has geometric shape---                    resonant frequencies of the unified field [Sutratma]     called superstrings.
                                                                                                                These Superstrings vibrate.

Rigveda while detailing universe formation talks of 192 vibrations [Sutas] before Universe comes into existence which is similar to science telling that final stage of Superstring to create universe has 192 fold vibrational structure.

Vedas while discussing Mind, stage it from superficial to profound. Superficial is called Vaikari, means articulated thought. This is followed by Madhyama meaning” abstract conceptual”. Then comes Pashyanti-----fine feeling. This is followed by Atma---consciousness, beyond comprehension. Mathematicians have also divided mind from narrow concrete to expansive level, all in numbers [transcendental] and end up at universe of sets, meaning infinity beyond comprehension. One can easily notice similarities in Vedic thought on Mind and its mathematical expression by mathematicians. Consciousness is programming language of this universe. From “Nothing” came consciousness, Energy, Space, Mind, Time and later came Matter.

---Science tells us this universe we see is virtual reality created by our brain. Vedas said thousands of              years back that this universe we see is Maya----existence yet not existant.They further add this universe we see is superimposition on reality. It is futile to discuss building blocks of this universe unless we take into consideration role of consciousness. Science is based on mathematics, mathematics cannot discover all truths, therefore science cannot discover all truth. Even Stephen Hawking once doubted theory of everything. String theory is not testable either. Vedic wisdom and scientific knowledge need to be seen complimentary to each other, not antagonistic to each other as it is being viewed today.

----Bhagvatam discusses time dilation and space time in big detail. This aspect of science we learnt from scientists only in 20^th century.

-----Science today tells us that this universe has 64 dimensions. Vedas told us long back about multidimensional [multiple worlds] universe. We perceive only three dimensions. A yogi by sadhana can perceive more dimensions.

In USA alone 25% population now believe in reincarnation. It seems Jews also believe in it. So much so, a Rabi statement, “Holocaust victims were reincarnated sinners” caused a big stir long back. When we see free western thinkers find merit in Vedic wisdom, Indian pseudointellectuals still rely and propagate   missionary statements. This shows intellectual bankruptcy in India. This is the time to revisit original Vedic manuscripts and propagate its wisdom to whole world. We will be doing a great service to humanity and to our ancestors who found ways and means to know about” Truth” in absence of  technology.
