World Creation Stories
(creation vs evolution debate)

World creation stories: how the world got created... the origin of earth... the origin of life on Mother Earth... the essence of all lay in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism... the foremost of all sacred scriptures existing on Mother Earth.

The creation of world by God Almighty... a fact of life or a misnomer! Creation vs evolution debate is an ongoing phenomenon... that has no end! Those who believe in bible and God do not believe in concept of evolution... on the contrary scientific community believing evolution do not trust the theory of creation as projected by Christianity... the creation of cosmos in seven days!

The creation of earth results from gradual evolution in the cosmic system. What was the need for life to exist in the cosmic system! Human beings world over debate when we are all children of God... why got created sufferings for mankind? The true essence of life laid in the existence of our soul atman... the spirit within!

The most fascinating part of world creation stories is... that God Almighty himself explodes self to create the whole Cosmos... the manifest life as we see today! Those would dispute the existence of God do not understand the basic rudiments of cosmic system. God Almighty is not the form of human beings... it is a source of enormous colossal cosmic energy!

As per the sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism... the most apt definition of God Almighty is, the sum total of all purified souls atmans in the whole Cosmos at a given moment of time! This massive power much beyond the comprehension of most human beings including scientific community in its original prime pure state occupies the volume of half a thumb!

And what is this half a thumb? As per sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism the volume of God Almighty in its prime pure state is just the size of half a thumb! Devoid of all dross impurities within every soul atman... the combined cluster of all purified souls atmans in the whole Cosmos occupy the volume of just half a thumb!

Imagine a situation that the old cosmos is dying... the dissolution of the old cosmos is occurring! As ordained by God almighty... existing from times immemorial... whatever the stage of any soul atman in the Cosmos... every single soul atman the spirit within reaches the last leg of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation!

Mahavira... the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism (preceptor) does not accept this fact... the prime reason why existence of God in Jainism has not been accepted! Jainism denies existence of God in totality. As per Jainism the whole Cosmos exists from times immemorial... the cosmos is without a beginning!

Mahavira failed to understand that until all souls atmans reached the last leg of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation... the complete dissolution of the Cosmos could not occur! In absence of dissolution of the whole Cosmos... creation of a new cosmos is totally ruled out!

Mahavira believed in concept of dissolution of the Cosmos yet, he stated that at the time of dissolution of the Cosmos (termed Pralaya in Hinduism)... whatever be the state of any soul atman... the same exists when the new cosmos gets created!

As per Mahavira if the karmic index of a soul in the last manifestation was 6, 43,002... Then after dissolution of the Cosmos... this particular soul would again manifest life at a karmic index of 6, 43,002 in the new cosmos! This just cannot be... Mahavira was wrong... The prime reason why Mahavira failed to understand the complete gist of Bhagavad Gita!

Jainism or no Jainism... the doctrine of Bhagavad Gita was put forward by Lord Krishna in the battle of Mahabharata about thousand years before the coming of Mahavira. The existence of Lord Krishna is a fact of life and can never be denied! Lord Krishna came about thousand years earlier to Mahavira... the precepts contained in Bhagavad Gita contain absolute purity!

Belief or no belief is the sole prerogative of every individual human being living on Mother Earth yet, following a religion ritualistically does not lead anywhere! We need interpreting the sacred scriptures in the light of logistics... the developments of science as of today!

If during times of Lord Krishna the battle was fought with bows and arrows... we do not fight our enemy today with bows and arrows! Why? If we believe in one precept... we must also believe in all other precepts contained in the sacred Scripture! Based on logistics... everything contained in the sacred scripture is right or everything is wrong! There is nothing in between!

I was born in Jainism religion! I am a follower of Jainism yet, precepts contained in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism are foremost for me! Bhagavad Gita contains absolute purity and nothing else! All the 700 shlokas verses contained in Bhagavad Gita have no parallel in mankind... the prime reason why one who assimilates the teachings of Bhagavad Gita gains enlightenment!

The creation of the world as put forward by Bhagavad Gita is not tainted in any respect. The whole Cosmos began its journey when God Almighty... the cluster of all purified souls atmans in the Cosmos exploded with a big bang! And why does God Almighty explode with a big bang?

After the dissolution of old Cosmos... when all pure souls combine together to form the size of half a thumb... this enormous colossal cosmic energy called God Almighty unable to contain itself for long in its prime pure state again explodes with a big bang and forms a new cosmos!

The explosion of God Almighty with a big bang is not accepted in any religion world over except the sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism! The precepts contained in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism contain everything worth knowable in the cosmic system. From the beginning of life to the end of journey by the soul atman... all is contained in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism!

Yet, the contents of sacred Bhagavad Gita can never be understood literally... it needs reading in between the lines! Fathoming the depth of wisdom contained in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism I finally realized God in 1993 at 37 years of age!

Having reached the end of spiritual pursuit... I have nowhere else to for go further! The moment I leave my mortal frame... I shall attain salvation (moksha)! For understanding world creation story... the origin of life in the Cosmos we have to base our thinking on logistics rather than religion! It is through the path of spirituality not religion human beings finally reached God!

Sooner the big bang explosion occurs and all purified souls atmans scattered all over at unimaginable speeds... in the melee the hurtling souls atmans gathered impurities similar as a rolling ball gathers moss! To cleanse themselves of the dross impurities within starts cosmic life cycle of every soul atman the spirit within!

Does this mean journey of life in cosmic system belongs to our soul atman the spirit within and not human form yes, the truth is so! Similar as one KG of pure gold sandwiched in lump of hundred KG of gold ore cannot separate itself of its own and requires external mining machinery and processes for extraction... every soul atman also requires manifesting a chain of bodies to purify itself!

In its entire life cycle of 96.4 million years every soul atman manifests a total of 8.4 million bodies! The entire life span of 96.4 million earthly years is one single life span for a soul atman. Body after body... manifestation after manifestation the journey of life for soul atman continues uninterrupted! The moment human beings gained enlightenment... all is over for soul atman within!

In the cosmic domain it is not human form but our soul atman the spirit within that is absolute master and controller of the body! It is not within the capability of the human body to manifest a soul atman. Right from first manifestation as an amoeba to the last as human beings... the goal of life for every soul atman remains reaching 8.4 millionth manifestation at the earliest!

The creation of Cosmos... the creation of Earth... the creation of life supporting planets like Mother Earth is not within control of God Almighty... prime reason why it has been said that Cosmos exists from times immemorial! No sooner dissolution of Cosmos occurs (termed Pralaya in Hinduism)... a new cosmos gets created!

Continuity of life always exists in the cosmic system. After death of present cosmic system... the present Cosmos... a new cosmos would immediately gets created! It is a perpetual cycle not in control of anybody. The cycle of life continues unabated! Life in the cosmic system is an ongoing process! None can interfere with the system including God Almighty!

The functioning of the complete cosmic system is like a massive supercomputer preprogrammed for everything. As we pray accordingly the results! If we know our prayers... we definitely get results! The problem is not one in a million knows how to pray! When in need... when in distress people remember God... how many remember God in happier times!

Those who maintain equipoise in life... neither feeling disturbed in sufferings nor enjoying happiness always experience choicest grace of God Almighty! It is the presence of such people in mankind that makes journey of life worthwhile!

Simply believing our religion ritualistically... non acceptance of logistics never leads one to god! Only by believing in Lord Krishna and the doctrine of Bhagavad Gita imparted by Lord Krishna to King Arjuna in Mahabharata does one reach the portals of kingdom of God (termed Vaikuntha in Hinduism). Enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) is not that easily gained!

If we truly desire understanding world creation stories... the origin of the Cosmos... the creation of earth stories... we need to think beyond our religion... the laid down precepts of every religion! It is only through the path of jnana yoga (absolute wisdom) contained in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism... human beings see the light of the day!

The sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism does not belong to Hindus alone! Follower of any religion... faith or creed can follow Bhagavad Gita even while remaining in ones religion! Bhagavad Gita has universal appeal... it forms the connecting link between human life and the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha).
