This model rests on the concept that our universe was contained in a single point in time before it exploded in trillionth of a trillionth of a second and expanded. The Big bang theory is the current “cosmological model” from the point of view of Scientists about the early development of the universe. The central theme of the Big Bang theory is that our universe is an expanding one. Greek philosopher Aristotle wondered about “an intelligent natural world that functions according to some deliberate design”. Book of Genesis supports the faith of many about the origin of creation. From Mayans to aborigines of Australian bush have developed their own theories on the origin of the Universe in their scheme of things! The debate on the Creation of the Universe with its beings goes on. The questions on the Time before Time (The Big Bang) have attracted the attention of few scientists, while the millennium old Religious texts have come up with their own daring and profound insights.

It is the subject of this monograph reflecting on the Purusha Suktam or the Vedic view of Creation. Ancient Vedic Texts of India (Vedams and Upanishads) have provided profound insights about the Creation of the Universe. Vedanta on the other hand looks beyond the material (“Cosmic Dust”) aspects and introduces a powerful spiritual principle defined as Brahman “where from all these entities are born, by which being born, they abide, into which at the time of dissolution they enter”. Vedas asks us to know that Brahman, the Supreme consciousness existing as “a single infinitesimal point (a Bindu)”, which explodes and expands to create ultimately the entities with names and forms albeit with finite life and contracts finally into the Bindu. Cosmic cycles of creation and destruction of this kind on a subtle and gigantic scale go on continuously like “inhaling and exhaling” as it were according to this Vedantic view. Their focus has been on the material universe alone. Wise men from India have reflected on these questions from their homes in deep forests at the foot hills of Himalayas the particle physicists at CERN backed up by their costly and powerful Hadron colliders have been looking for answers to some of these profound questions about the origin of the material Universe from the astro and particle physics point of view. Our life in this material world are questions that have swirled around the minds of human beings from time immemorial and continue to attract the attention of the finest thinkers to gain insights.
