How Indian Sanatan(Hindu) Scriptures Explain Multiverse and Relativity Theory: Understanding the Unseen
The concept of the multiverse and relativity theory has been discussed among scientists and researchers for many years. However, what if we told you that the Indian Sanatan(Hindu) scriptures also delve into this complex topic? Yes, you read it right. The ancient Indian Sanatan(Hindu) scriptures have described the concept of the multiverse and relativity theory long before science could even define it.
In Sanatan(Hindutva), the concept of the multiverse is known as the 'Loka.' It is the belief that multiple universes exist simultaneously, each with its unique physical laws, dimensions, and realities. This theory of multiple universes has been a subject of discussion among physicists, and Sanatan(Hindutva) take on it is pretty similar.
In the Sanatan(Hindu) scriptures, it is believed that there are 14 Lokas, each with its own unique characteristics. The first Loka is the Bhur Loka, equivalent to the Earth we live in. The second Loka is the Bhuvar Loka, which is the atmosphere above Earth. The third Loka is the Svar Loka, which is where celestial bodies such as stars and planets exist.
Further, in the Sanatan(Hindu) scripture, it is stated that the existence of these Lokas is parallel to our world, and they can only be accessed by travelling at the speed of thought. This idea resonates with the concept of relativity theory, which states that the laws of physics remain the same in all inertial frames of reference. In other words, time and space are relative and depend on the observer's perspective.
Moreover, there are many Shlokas in the Sanatan(Hindu) scriptures that describe the concept of the multiverse and relativity theory. One such Shloka is from the Bhagavad Gita (8.17), which states,
|| सहस्रयुगपर्यन्तमहर्यद्ब्रह्मणो विदु: |
रात्रिं युगसहस्रान्तां तेऽहोरात्रविदो जना: || 17||
Bhagvad Gita ( 8.17)
"By human calculation, a thousand ages taken together form the duration of Brahma's one day. And such also is the duration of his night."
This Shloka refers to the relativity of time as time is relative to the observer's perspective.
Another Shloka from the Rig Veda (10.90.4) describes the creation of the universe and the existence of multiple universes. It states,
त्रि॒पादू॒र्ध्व उदै॒त्पुरु॑ष॒: पादो॑ऽस्ये॒हाà¤॑व॒त्पुन॑: । ततो॒ विष्व॒ङ्व्य॑क्रामत्साशनानश॒ने अ॒à¤ि ॥
त्रिपादूर्ध्व उदैत्पुरुषः पादोऽस्येहाà¤à¤µà¤¤्पुनः । ततो विष्वङ्व्यक्रामत्साशनानशने अà¤ि ॥
( Rig Veda 10.90.4 )
"In the beginning, there was darkness shrouded in darkness. All this was only unmanifested waters. That One which came into being, hidden in the sense of self, was dispelled by the self-power. This One evolved itself into many, which existed harmoniously."
In conclusion, the Sanatan(Hindu) scriptures explain the complex concept of the multiverse and relativity theory long before science could even define it. The parallel existence of multiple universes and the relative nature of time and space has been an integral part of the Sanatan(Hindu) culture and tradition. The Shlokas from the Sanatan(Hindu) scriptures provide a clear understanding of the unseen and reveal a deeper understanding of our universe. The relevance of the Sanatan(Hindu) scriptures in modern-day science is undeniable, and it is a testament to the ancient wisdom and knowledge that we have inherited.
