COSMOLOGY: THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL UNIVERSE |
|
Modern science has expanded our horizons on the universe. In western
culture up to recent times we used to think that the universe was largely confined to this earth
and that it had been in existence for less than six thousand years. However, the Vedic and Puranic
teaching has always dated our universe as existing for many billions of years,
much more so yet than modern science acknowledges. It sees the present
universe as just one in a series of manifestations, each marked by an
equal period of dissolution (pralaya) wherein no manifestation occurs.
Our present view of the universe is still very limited by the cosmology
of yoga. We are only aware of one plane of existence and though we
have and continue to explore it in great detail in the process we are
ignoring or missing the greater part of reality, particularly that which
resides within our own deeper consciousness. There are other levels of existence, other
dimensions wherein different types of worlds exist much different than
our physical realm.
