Religious
Creation Stories Hinduism
(bhagavad gita hinduism - big bang theory evolution - hindu creationism)
Of all the religious
creation stories in vogue today... Hinduism religion creation story
is pivotal... exists from times immemorial! Hinduism is never
considered a religion... it is always stated as a way of Life!
Hinduism religion was not started by a single person! Hinduism religion...
the Hindu Dharma exists from times immemorial. Why?
About 600 independent
princely states (erstwhile Bharatvarsha) practiced tenets of Hinduism...
that primarily consists of various dogmas and beliefs confirming
existence of God Almighty. Hinduism is one such religion that confirms
existence of God Almighty without ambiguities or uncertainties!
Bhagavad-Gita... the most sacred scripture of Hinduism details everything
related to God Almighty!
When Muslim
invaders from West crossed into erstwhile Bharatvarsha... a conglomerate
of above 600 independent princely states... they started pronouncing
people of 600 princely states... the conglomerate of 600 princely
states as Hindus. Why? After crossing River Indus lay the vast expanse
of Bharatvarsha... the present Indian subcontinent!
As the Muslim
invaders pronounced H. for I. they started calling people living
to East of River Indus as Hindus! Hindus have roots from times of
Vedas... the Hinduism revelations... the first words invoked by
mankind directly from God Almighty! Invocation of words of God ever
since mankind came into being was first done by Hindus leading to
spread of Hinduism world over.
Along with Vedas
and Hinduism Revelations came Upanishads (independent treatises)...
that form core of Hinduism! Every single Upanishad (independent
treatise) consists of inferences... interpretations by various enlightened
masters of that era! Every single Upanishad deliberated on a different
subject leading to growth of Hinduism Scriptures en masse!
Along with Vedas
and Upanishads came Bhagavad-Gita... the most sacred scripture of
Hinduism that contains everything worth knowable! The knower
of Bhagavad-Gita finally gains enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) in
the journey of life. Assimilating wisdom contained in Bhagavad-Gita
Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana finally gained enlightenment
in their lifetime.
For all practical purposes Bhagavad-Gita of Hinduism is the end
of all. One single sacred Scripture contains everything for human
beings to reach stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally
salvation (moksha). The only difficulty lay in understanding gist
of Bhagavad-Gita. The contents of Bhagavad-Gita can never be understood
literally... one needs reading in between the lines!
Even though
original dictate of Lord
Krishna... the original Bhagavad-Gita is
available for mere $.60 (Rupees 30/=) across most railway stations
of India or directly from Gita press, Gorakhpur, India yet, how
many understood... assimilated teachings contained in Bhagavad-Gita?
The prime reason why in the last about 150 years only two persons
reached the stage of enlightenment!
Both Sri
Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana reached the stage of
enlightenment via path of jnana yoga... the path of absolute wisdom!
God Almighty can never be reached via path of bhakti yoga. Initially
both the spiritual stalwarts... Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi
Ramana started their spiritual journey via path of bhakti yoga.
Subsequently both switched to path of jnana yoga... path of absolute
wisdom! Even in present Kali Yuga God Almighty can never be reached
via path of bhakti yoga... the path of religion... the path of rituals!
Most human beings in present life pursuing materialistic riches
galore still expect to reach God via the path of bhakti yoga! This
is an absolute misnomer.
The path
of absolute spirituality... the path of pure spirituality can never
be reached following the path of wanton desires... running after
materialistic wealth! Gaining materialistic riches is never
a taboo on path of spirituality but the usage is! Most human beings
running after materialistic riches indulge in unethical and immoral
means to achieve their ends!
Can such people
ever be expected to travel spiritual path... the path of unknown...
the path that directly takes one towards God! The journey of life
always belonged to our soul Atman... the spirit within! our soul atman the spirit within soul
Atman is the absolute master and controller of body and not vice
versa. It is not within capability of human body to manifest a soul
Atman!
Every soul Atman manifests human form to work out its karma... remove
dross impurities within! Similar as one KG of pure gold sandwiched
in hundred KG lump of gold ore cannot separate itself of its own
and requires external mining machinery and processes for the same...
every soul Atman also requires manifesting a series of 8.4 million
bodies to work out its karma... remove dross impurities within!
The doctrine
of karma forms most integral part of religious creation story...
more particularly the creation story put forward by Hinduism!
The creation of cosmic system... the creation of world did not occur
in seven days as stipulated in Christianity or Islamic Dharma. It
took billions of years before life supporting planets like mother
Earth evolved in the cosmic system.
The sacred Bhagavad-Gita
of Hinduism explains Hinduism religious creation story at its best!
The creation story put forward by Bhagavad-Gita is the most sacrosanct
of all! Bhagavad-Gita of Hinduism states that whole cosmic system
starts the moment God Almighty explodes self with a big bang. And
why does God Almighty explodes self with a Big Bang?
As detailed in Bhagavad-Gita... let us imagine a position when dissolution
of old cosmos occurs! At this stage the entire mass... the entire
volume of whole cosmos reduces to size of half a thumb. In absence
of dross impurities within... the mass of all purified souls atmans
in cosmos carries the volume of half a thumb!
This half a
thumb as per Bhagavad-Gita of Hinduism... the collective power of
all purified souls atmans in the cosmos is what we know as God Almighty!
This massive primordial power... the sum total of all purified souls
atmans in the cosmos... the volume of half a thumb unable to retain
itself for long in its prime pure state again explodes with a big
bang and starts a new cosmos... a new journey of life!
As per Hinduism
is it certain that the beginning of cosmos starts with God Almighty
exploding self with a Big Bang... yes, the cosmic truth is so!
The cluster of all purified souls atmans in the cosmos with occurrence
of big bang gets scattered all over cosmos! These hurtling pure
souls atmans with passage of time gather impurities similar
as a rolling ball gathers moss!
It is a fact of life that amongst all world creation stories...
religious creation story in vogue today... the explanation given
in Bhagavad-Gita seems best. One can under no circumstance of life
ever doubt teachings of Bhagavad-Gita... the doctrine given to mankind
by Lord Krishna in the battle of Mahabharata!
Lord Krishna
was an avatar of his era (God manifest in human form). Lord Krishna
was an avatar of Dwaper Yuga... a time full of strife as of now!
We are presently passing through Kali Yuga phase of life when conditions
are almost similar to those of Dwaper Yuga. To annihilate evil forces
of nature... to reestablish Dharma (righteousness)... coming of
Lord Krishna was mandated!
In present
times to reestablish Dharma... to end Kaliyuga people await the
coming of Bhagwan Kalki... the annihilator of Kali Yuga! With
the coming of Bhagwan Kalki around 2014 the whole world shall step
into Golden era... the Satyuga! But coming of Bhagwan Kalki means
start of world war 3... The fiercest world war ever fought in the
history of mankind!
In the coming world war 3, a full scale nuclear war... about 1200
million people are expected to perish! With all the bad blood eliminated
forever... the aftermath of world war three shall witness start
of a new era... a new age! Every 3500 to 5000 years world witnesses
life coming full circle. About 3600 years before came Lord Krishna
and now people await coming of Bhagwan Kalki!
The coming of
an avatar of an era gets necessitated when evil forces of nature
bare its fangs! Dominated by a bloated ego when human beings become
a slave of materialistic tendencies... it is only a fully scale
Renaissance that can uphold Dharma (righteousness). Presently we
are passing through such a bad phase of life that terrorism world
over is getting out of control!
A terrorist
is not one who brandishing AK-47 enters a departmental store and
loots it! The head of a state using unethical means plunders
riches of a nation... is one not the biggest terrorist mankind encounters...
a blue collared terrorist in disguise! Terrorist can be any...
not necessarily the downtrodden denizen of society who seeking ones
rights... simply fights for justice!
Hinduism is the foremost of all religions existing on mother Earth.
Jesus Christ came a few centuries earlier to Prophet Mohammed. Gautama
Buddha came about 423 years earlier to Jesus Christ. Mahavira preceded
Gautama Buddha by about 77 years. And about thousand years earlier
to Mahavira came Lord Krishna... an avatar of his era (God manifest
in human form).
Whatever is
stated in Hinduism Scriptures forms the essence of life. None
can belie absolute truths detailed in sacred Bhagavad-Gita of Hinduism!
Albert Einstein the famous physicist was the only scientist in world
who wanted to assimilate wisdom contained in Bhagavad-Gita but was
too late in his assertions.
Only in the
end years of life did Albert Einstein deliberate on subject of Bhagavad-Gita!
Albert Einstein always regretted this fact. According to him he
should have indulged on subject of Bhagavad-Gita in the earlier
years of his life. Albert Einstein failed to understand, that subject
of Bhagavad-Gita was beyond purview of science.
Science demands proofs that are not forthcoming in field of spirituality.
The system of God runs on absolute faith... absolute faith in God
Almighty! Spirituality starts from point where science ends... prime
reason why scientists world over fail to understand gist of Bhagavad-Gita!
For understanding basic truths of life... for understanding Bhagavad-Gita
we need to rise above the ordinary!
For understanding
gist of Religious Creation Story... the truth of world creation
stories... we need assimilating pearls of wisdom contained in sacred
Bhagavad-Gita of Hinduism! Diving deep into bottomless pit of wisdom
contained in Bhagavad-Gita human beings finally unveiled absolute
truths of life... reached stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)
and finally salvation (moksha)!
