The Hindu scriptures claim that there are countless universes in
the endless creation and the
universe we live is just a tiny part in the endless vastness. This view is closer to the modern cosmological
– multi-verse concept. According to the modern cosmology there are innumerable universes around. The modern cosmological view is that - like air bubbles [with different sizes] in the soap
waters – universes are present in some infinite continuum [God – in religion] and the universe [all the stars and galaxies
put together] we live in is just a small bubble - just a minuscule part of that
infinite whole and this concept is in agreement with the Hindu cosmological
concepts.
The Hindu scriptures also claim that – these different universes
are with different properties and each one is different but, of course it is
probable that some of them might have some resemblances. This is in accordance
with the modern cosmological view that – different universes in the multiple
universes could have different dimensions and etc., as predicted by Albert Einstein through his general theory of relativity. In fact, the
general relativity predicts the possibility of around 14 universes. The Hindu scriptures also make a reference to
these different dimensions of the other universes apart from saying that our universe
has 4-dimensions; in ‘general theory of relativity’ Albert
Einstein has propagated the same concept, 3-spatial dimensions and one time dimension.
There are references to the existence of the multiple universes in
the ancient Hindu scriptures like the ‘Bramhanda Purana’
and many other works. The hymn - akilaanda koti bramhanda naayaki – dedicated to the goddess Durga – claims that
the ‘goddess’ is the owner of the billions and billions of universes and this has resemblance to the multi-verse concept in the modern
cosmology.
The Hindu scriptures say – there are intelligent beings in some of these universes
and some of them are far more advanced than we are – and more matured and
intelligible than the people of the Earth.
The Hindu scriptures claim that some of the Universes indeed form
a cluster [cluster of universes] just like the galactic clusters. ‘Our cluster of universes’ – comprises of 14 universes that has harbored life apart from the other universes not having life. The name of
our universe according to the ancient Hindu scriptures is Bhooloka - it means the – ‘Universe of the Earth’ or the “universe
harboring the planet Earth”. The Hindu scriptures mention the names of these 14
universes that are a part of our cluster of universes. According
to the Hindu scriptures, the names of the 14-universes in our
cluster of universes are: atala, vitala, sutala, talaatala, rasaatala, mahaatala, paatala,
-- bhuloka -- bhuverloka, suverloka, maholoka, tapoloka, janarloka, stayaloka.
Amongst the above 14 universes, the first
seven [7] universes are below our universe [bhuloka]
and these harbor inferior forms of life than the beings on the Earth. They do
dirty and devilish things than the earthly beings.
The other sex universes following the -- bhuloka – constitute the upper universes
that are above our universe. The being in the upper sex [6] universes are more
advanced and matured than what we are, they do divine things.
In the Hindu scriptures it has been mentioned that –
some of these beings from different universes indeed visit the other universes
too and there are many citations on this type of travels. In this lineage, the Hindu
sages too were visiting the other universes, befriending those alien beings and
even marriages with those alien beings is also mentioned in the Hindu
scriptures.
The ancient Hindus were so advanced that they were
capable of traveling to other universes too but, we are unable to reach the
nearby by star but, we
boast of our technologies ..!
Some more cosmological details from the Hindu scriptures will be
presented in the next article to come !
