you may read "fabric of the universe "by Dr.Greene(45yrs of age only)-a dynamic astro physiscist from Harvard.In this book he indirectly hints at whatever the human mind tries to explore the universe is repeatedly getting disproved over a period of time.eg., Newtons law was sacred in 1635 but dis appeared after Einstein.Same way Big Bang theory will dis appear after a period as none(no human mind) can find out what exactly is this cosmos?Once upon a time astrophysiscists thought that the cosmos has little darkness-now they accept 85% is dark energy?This is in total acceptance of Vedas which has said thousands of years ago that "till you show a torch in an object -the object remains invisible.That doesnt mean the object doesnt exist!"

it is very very interesting if you get involved in Vedic Teachings and you will see how much of foresight our forefathers has had!all the best!

Cosmos is a mindboggling subject and our Rishis have correctly predicted many things-particularly the philosophy of something beyond the SUN!It is to the credit of Carl Sagan who was the first one to have accepted that there is Truth in Hindu philosophy(Maya)-in otherwords he has accepted(in Cosmos)that we humans can never ever understand is this universe(Maya?)

Recently Nasa scienstists have accepted one famous picture taken (a Nebula) which was the most famous picture of 1997(I had downloaded some years back!)is a myth(refer article in January 07)which the astro physicists have come to find(thro Hubble)that IT DOESNT EXIST in the Horizon but continue to be visible for naked eyes for another 4000 years(Human life time)

This is a mind boggling revealation of Maya.I admire Einstein in that aspect who had the conviction to say"God never plays dice"

There is something which(as an iota the world itself in your scale)is beyond all comperehensible-that is Brahman or a supreme witness!

Nice blog. I was just wondering where I can browse for such pics. Thanks.

An ant can understand internet but we cannot understand the universe or the mind that plays with cosmos the way we play with our lives..not with our logical minds at least..

The thought is humbling and creates a sense of wonder about the great mind behind all these..

BTW,Is that your child hood photo on the right?

Regards
