The miracle of how parallel does modern PHYSICS come with ancient VEDAS is the essence of this blog, you can call it religious or scientific or may feel in any possible way, but for sure this will be startling, atleast as per my perception I WAS SPELL BOUND to notice such similarities between the Sanatan dharma or Hindu religion and few concepts of modern of physics.
Its so believed in modern physics that beginning of the universe or rather the creation of the universe is best explained by a cosmological incident called BIG BANG . This theory interestingly says that the whole of universe that we see around today was compactly arranged into a small super dense particle , as small as a trillion of such particle can be placed over the head of the needle.In simpler words the whole universe that we see was in a shrunken state, or let me say a super shrunken state that we can ever imagine. Now for reason unknown suddenly there was a BANNNNNGGGGGG and that super dense particle bursts our to give the whole universe that we perceive today.Now for the sake of the idea that I intend to express in this blog,I will extend the idea of BIG BANG a little bit forward , we see that as after the bang the whole universe comes into existence but at the same time we also see that all the matter that develops from this bang continue to expand in space and will continue to do so till the time when the attractive force from these matter called gravitational force will start pulling them towards each other, with time this gravity will get more powerful and the whole matter in universe again converge into a small particle, the phenomena is called as BIG CRUNCH, Modern physics thereby states that the whole universe starts as a small particle to expand via BIG BANG and again converge into the same small particle via BIG CRUNCH and interestingly the process continues to and fro or oscillating.Few other interesting components of this theory is the fact that all the forces that we see today was only a single force when BIG BANG THEORY took place,after which that single force broke into three forces called as GRAVITATIONAL FORCE ,NEUCLEAR FORCE (which is further divided into weak and strong neuclear force) and ELECTROMAGNETIC FORCE.I will later talk about interesting part of the way neuclear force works in later part of this blog. So before we relate these modern concepts with Sanatan Dharma I will try to brief all that is mentioned above
.Universe began with a bang called BIG BANG.
.Universe will shrink back to same state as before called BIG CRUNCH .
.This creation and distruction of universe through BIG BANG and BIG CRUNCH
continues repeatedly to and fro.
.The universe during its birth had one single force that broke into three major forces.

Now comes the interesting part in Sanatan dharma there is a famous sloke "SABDA NISHTHAM JAGADA" meaning universe started with a sound ,interestingly the big bang talks of starting the universe with bang or a loud sound as the small dense particle of universe burst into what we see today , added to this the creation of universe in Hindu mythology is symbolized as the GREAT DANCE BY NATRAJA.If you notice that in modern physics as mentioned above is discussing the universe's creation and destruction as a to and fro process in other words its oscillatory process, something that is systematic and repetitive just like in DANCE , if you notice dance mostly is composed of movements which are perfectly repeated many a times , possibly understanding this modern concept,Vedas has talked of the process of creation and destruction as DANCE of lord shiva or natraja.Another intresting this about the Natraja is if you observe the symbol you will realize that
Natraja has four hands ,with DAMRU in one which also happens to be an instrument of sound or music thereby representing the beginning of the universe with sound very much parallel to the modern concept of science, interestingly the other hand of Natraja just opposite to first hand carries fire symbolizing the destruction of universe,confirming the universal law that everything that begins must come to an end.If you observe the fourth hand , its is in a posture we casually call the blessing posture , however it has a much deeper meaning attached to it ,this posture of hand is common posture associated with all idols of DEVIS AND DEVATAS of HINDU religion commonly interpreted as ASHIRWAD POSTURE ,but a deeper study will make you understand that the posture is in CLASSICAL DANCE OF INDIA is called as ABHAY MUDRA or where abhay mean without fear ,hence what is granted with that hand expression is fearless state of mind.Now if we notice the fourth hand we will realize that the fourth hand is suggestive of a posture called GAJ mudra in traditional dance system or elephants trunk , now this has a deep significance ,have u ever thought on why is it that GANESHA is considered as VIGHAN VINASAK or destroyer of obstacles , the science is deep, the ability in human which actually protects them from obstacles is the ability to discriminate, its only when we have the power to differentiate or discriminate between good and bad , right and wrong, we are in a state of protection against bad fortunes , bad results etc etc , Now if we notice that the elephant trunk is the only known living apparatus that actually has the ability to discriminate between a needle and a trunk of a tree , in simpler words elephants are strong enough to break trees with there trunk and sensitive enough to pick up a needle with the same , hence the ability to discriminate is well symbolized with the trunk of the elephant , Natraja with the GAJA HASTA mudra is expressing the quality one has to develop in himself to live a hassle free life. Now let us shift our focus on the facial expression of Natraja , its so interesting to note that with al his body dancing the face of Natraja remains expressionless , a symboliz presentation of the fact that Natraja continues to remain detached from the world and continues to stay unaffected from the world despite being physically involved with it.Idols and Gods in Sanatan dharma talks much more than what its popularly known as , decoding its meaning is an act of extreme joy and realization.
