This collection of ancient mantras, prayers, and hymns emerged fully formed out of the Indian mind and spirit during a period of immense antiquity. This is not the kind of knowledge obtained through the ordinary empirical process. Vedic knowledge is of a much higher order known as dristi, sruti, smriti; that which is seen, heard, and remembered, illuminations that arise as a direct revelation of truth in the soul.

Owing to their sublime origins the Vedas represent a unique view into the nature of reality and offer an unparalleled knowledge of the cosmological principles that gave birth to our material universe. If we follow the history of the great scientific ideas from Copernicus to Newton to Einstein and Bohm and on to the modern theories of Hawking and Penrose, we will discover that most of these ideas, indeed far greater ones, were known and revealed by the Vedic Rishis many thousands of years ago.

I just finished reading this book for the second time. It flushes out the basis of our world's current crisis connected to the disastrous split between Spirituality and Science and discusses the Integral and Supramental or Higher-than-Mental Gnosis of Vedic Seers whose seeing is vitally important to all those who wish to be conscious participants in the evolution or uprising of a more holistic, truth-based and Soul-full civilization on Earth.

I was already familiar with these authors before reading this book, but I do imagine this book would be a great primer or introduction to the Supramental Gnosis that has descended through these three great yogis. I consider this book a wake up call, as it does have the power to help wake up those who are ready to wake up out of our civilization's pervasive delusions.

It needs to be read by both Scientists and Spiritual seekers, because the current split between these two camps has led our world into its current crisis. One person found this helpful. I have been on a journey almost all my life.

I grew up poor enough not to have access to information but i always found a way to be far away into nature to know how lucky i was to be part of all of this we call life. Now, older as i am. I decided to change my ways to fulfill the hole of feeling lost. One day, my bff told me about the Vedas. No clue of what he was talking about then, looking for knowledge i came across this book He also created the speech, the fire, the prana breath of life , the air and the various senses, the directions, the trees, the mind, the moon and other things.

The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 1. Feeling lonely, the Purusha divided itself into two parts: The men were born when the male embraced the female. The female thought "how can he embrace me, after having produced me from himself? I shall hide myself. Thus the cows were born. Similarly, everything that exists in pairs, was created.

Next, the Purusha created the fire, the soma and the immortal gods the devas from his better part. He also created the various powers of the gods, the different classes , the dharma law or duty and so on. The Being later became the Atman 2.

Belief in evolution is among the Samkhya philosophy. In the Samkhya philosophy, evolution is symbolized by the Sanskrit term parinama. Many Hindu reformers compare this term and philosophy with Darwinism. The prominent Vivekananda, based most of his cosmological and biological ideas off of the Samkhya. The Prakriti has three qualities: When the equilibrium between these qualities gets broken, the act of creation starts. Rajas quality leads to creation. The later texts such as the Puranas identify the Purusha with the God.

In many Puranic notes, Brahma is the creator god. In Garuda Purana , there was nothing in the universe except the Brahman.

The universe became an expanse of water, and in that Vishnu was born in the golden egg. He created Brahma with four faces. Brahma then created the devas, asuras, pitris and manushas. He also created the rakshasas, yakshas, gandharvas. Other creatures came from the various parts of his body e. His body hair became the herbs. The four varnas came from his body parts and the four Vedas from his mouths. He created several sons from his mind, Daksha, Daksha's wife, Manu Svaymbhuva, his wife Shatarupta and the rishi Kashypa.

Kashypata married thirrteen of Daksha's daughter and all the devas and the createures were born through them. The Advaita Vedanta states that the creation arises from Brahman, but it is illusory and has no reality. Many Hindu philosophies mention that the creation is cyclic. A variety of myths exist regarding the specifics of the process, but in general the Hindu view of the cosmos is as eternal and cyclic.

The later puranic view also asserts that the universe is created, destroyed, and re-created in an eternally repetitive series of cycles. In Hindu cosmology, a universe endures for about 4,,, years one day of Brahma , the creator or kalpa [29] and is then destroyed by fire or water elements. At this point, Brahma rests for one night, just as long as the day.

This process, called pralaya cataclysm , repeats for Brahma years trillion, 40 billion human years that represents Brahma's lifespan. Most Hindus accept the theory of biological evolution. The order of the Dashavatara ten principal avatars of the god Vishnu is interpreted to convey Darwin's evolution. Haldane opined that they are a true sequential depiction of the great unfolding of evolution. Like the evolutionary process itself, the first avatar of God is a fish - Matsya , then comes the aquatic reptile turtle, Kurma , then a mammal - the boar Varaha , then Narasimha , a man-lion being, Vamana , the dwarf then the rest four are humans; Kalki is not yet born.

Deshmukh have associated the Dashavatara with evolution. The Sanskrit epics of the Hindus mention several exotic creatures including ape-like humanoids. The Ramayana speaks of the Vanaras , an ape-like species with human intelligence, that existed millions of years ago.

According to the Ramayana alongside these ape-men existed modern humans. Thus, according to these ancient writings, the status of such creatures was a state of coexistence rather than evolution. While the Creation—evolution controversy has seen much debate in the US and other countries, it is an insignificant issue in India, because of its Hindu-majority population. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. There is no major conflict between the religious beliefs of Hinduism and acceptance of the science of evolution.
