Religious Creation Story 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 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)!
