The idea that the universe was created by God often meets hostile opposition from proponents of rationality and science because unlike science that creates empirical laws, religious theories seem to make no verifiable predictions. But in Vedic Creationism, author Ashish K. Dalela shows that a personal theistic account of creation given in the Vedas has radical implications for the study of matter and questions of creation, including new verifiable predictions based upon a different conception of reality. An expansive examination of the meaning of the universe by comparing and contrasting varying philosophical vantages, Vedic Creationism covers the journey from Vedic notions on God's personality and conscious mind to the implication these ideas have for the origins of life and the attainment of quantum gravity. Dalela relates the ideas in Vedic philosophy with the current state of affairs in modern science including the mind-body problem, the unification of quantum and relativity theories, and the question of evolution and origins of life. Presenting new, forward-looking ideas, Vedic Creationism will help put the age-old wisdom of Vedas in a modern light and open new areas of dialogue.

A Journey from Consciousness to Matter In Vedic philosophy, creation is modeled as the creative activity of consciousness. Just as an artist creates a painting by first thinking about it and then embedding his ideas into matter, so the creator of the universe creates the world of objects by expressing meanings in His consciousness into undifferentiated matter. Creation Has Six Causes Creation in the Vedic view proceeds from the unconscious, to conscious experience, to material objects. Each of these three features has a subjective and objective aspect, thereby creating the six causes for which the author dedicates a chapter, as follows: The Personal Cause of Creation explores the properties of consciousness, its quest for meaning and self-knowledge and how that quest forms the basis for the creation of the universe. The Efficient Cause of Creation describes the mechanism by which the quest for meaning gradually becomes thoughts, desires, judgments, plans and actions, thereby creating various experiences. The Instrumental Cause of Creation discusses the Vedic view on the senses, mind, intelligence and ego as the instruments that experience meanings, and embed meanings into matter. The Formal Cause of Creation describes the nature of meanings and how these meanings are created as subtle information and then embedded into space-time to create differentiated objects. The Systemic Cause of Creation explains how information in the mind is transformed into energy which is then represented into matter as sound vibrations denoting meanings. The Material Cause of Creation describes how information is encoded as vibrations in space-time, and how modifications of these vibrations create other observable physical properties. The six causes are prefaced by a chapter discussing basic difficulties in knowing the past, the problem of meaning, how this changes our outlook about space and time, and how the solution requires consciousness to create the fundamental distinctions in terms of which everything is known. In the process, the book touches upon issues of intelligent design, creationism, the creation vs evolution debate and the unique Vedic view on it. The last two chapters treat the nature of God and His power, the nature of free will and how it interacts with matter, which creates karma and leads to repeated births and deaths (also known as reincarnation). How You Will Benefit from Six Causes Presented in lay person's language, and written for those who don't have any background in Vedic philosophy, Six Causes will allow you to assimilate a profound understanding of matter, conscious experience, the unconscious, God, philosophy of religion, morality, reincarnation, karma and time. In the process, you will also see many common misconceptions about Vedic philosophy such as impersonalism, polytheism and fatalism overturned. How Is This Book Different? Currently, the majority of the New Age books dealing in Vedic philosophy or Hinduism start from an impersonal interpretation of the Vedic texts. Not only does this negate the personal character of the soul and God but also fails to authentically describe the Vedic view of matter and the mind. While these books do point out deficiencies in modern materialism, they don't offer a concrete alternative that can be scientifically meaningful.There is no clear explanation of how conscious activity leads to karma and how consciousness itself is covered by the unconscious history of past experiences. This prevents many people from fully grasping the philosophical depth of the Vedas. Six Causes: The Vedic Theory of Creation tries to fill that gap.

Rig Veda is foremost among the four Vedas, considered to be one of the oldest texts known to mankind. For centuries Vedas are not only revered but are considered by many as treasure house of knowledge & wisdom. All ancient branches of Indian philosophy be it Brahman Granthas, Upanishad or Bhagwad Gita drew their inspiration from the Vedas. The universe of which our entire human existence is but a tiny part, could not have escaped the attention of those learned seers. Delving into the question of creation of the universe and how it all might have happened is not only one of most ancient inquisitiveness which has captured the imagination of human mind but also most logical outcome of human curiosity. It is therefore almost a certainty that Vedas have explored this most fascinating aspect of our existence and have propounded a comprehensive concept on its creation. What that concept is? How do the most revered texts explain the evolution of the universe? What are their views on the issue? These are definitely the questions which must have crossed the minds of all those connected with the study of philosophy specifically Indian philosophy. This book addresses these questions. The author has comprehensively established Rig Vedic concept on the evolution of creation. Interpretations of hymns have been based on Vedic grammar & roots of the words and are well supported by other subordinate texts such as Brahman Granths, Upanishads and others. Interrelations of hymns with continuum of central underlying thoughts contained in suklas have been decisively revealed in the book. The book brings out a complete technical terminology of Vedas related to cosmogony. The connoted meaning of such terms as Aditi, Apah, Hiranyagarbha, Apam Napat,Mitra, Varun and many more have been unveiled and established. The book makes an enthralling reading casting magical spell. Inquisitive minded reader will find it difficult to put down the book once he starts the reading.

Important modern scientific truths lie hidden in the highly colourful and symbolical language of the Vedas. Brahma does not mean the theological object of worship, but, it means ‘atomic state which pervades in 58 digits’. The ancients measured distances not even in astronomical light years that proved inadequate, but, in number of digits. ‘Hiranyaksha’ should not be taken as a demon. It indicates ‘gravitational power of the molten matter inside the earth’. Dhaataa or ‘Brahmaa’ is a star standing at a distance of 39 digits and Sarasvatee is its cosmic energy. The Universe as a whole is contracting. The Earth began to cool 1,000,000,000,000 (1 followed by 12-zeroes) years ago. Universe will go on contracting till it finally collapses in 33 digits of years according to our planet. “Om” is not a mere sound but an actual cosmic state which comes into being, when at the initial stage the three Gunas of Prakriti give rise by their interaction to the four states of matter called the charges, atomic, molecule and particle states, and consequently has dimensions like a concrete substance. Gods are stars with supernatural powers, such as the cosmic rays, attraction, repulsion etc. Shiva and Paarvattee are the names given to the spiritual and material aspects.

In this book I have given the Vedic theory of Life which incorporates consciousness as the primary characteristic of life. I have given a scientific analysis of what life is and described the characteristics of both Life and Matter and their points of similarity and distinction. I have discussed evolution and then described an alternate theory namely the Vedic theory of evolution of consciousness as opposed to Darwin's theory of evolution of species. The theory of evolution of consciousness is based on creation of various species by God so as to accommodate the varied desires of an infinite number of living beings. The Vedic theory of evolution of consciousness marks the dawning of a new era in which consciousness will come to be incorporated as an essential item in our scientific theories about life and its origin. Topics covered are: * What is Life? - Life vs. Matter * Proof of God's existence * Evolution * Evolution of consciousness * Moral implications What is Life? Is life simply a product of or combination of material elements? How can matter which is devoid of consciousness give rise to life which is conscious? These questions are the basis of a scientific analysis of life and the debate: creation vs. evolution. I have also discussed in this book the moral and spiritual ramifications of these theories. These fundamental theories of life have far reaching moral consequences on the course of development and well being of mankind. The significance of these theories cannot be over estimated as these are fundamental theories of life. The course of mankind depends on its thinking as regards life and thinking of mankind is greatly influenced by what is taught in schools about life and its origin. Hence this discussion: creation vs. evolution is very important. By teaching Darwin's theory of evolution mankind is on the perilous course of a godless society where the moral fabric of society is being eroded.

The birth of the Universe and the source of life on earth was an enigma to the people of the Vedic period and beyond. Contrary to the spontaneous explosion and cooling of the big bang theory for creation, Vedic literature proposes that the birth of the Universe was a developmental process from nothingness. The sages in Rigveda have contemplated how the creation and propagation of life began in the universe by the primordial creator Virat Purusha. This book explores the mystery of creation of the Universe with ancient Indian literary and archaeological evidence.

Cosmic creation series deals with concepts of creation from various philosophies. Book 1 explores creation as described in the Vedas, Sāmkhya and Vaiśeṣika philosophy. Book 2 covers orthodox sub schools like Advaita, Viśistadvaita and heterodox systems like Chārvāka, Buddhism and Jainism. Book 3 covers Western philosophies like ancient Greek and Zorastrian, Islam and Christian.This vast universe around us is a grand and wonderful manifestation of material forces under the Supreme Governance of Will and Wisdom, or, in other words, an example of the unquestionable, unparalleled architectural excellence of the Supreme. Mankind, since its advent, has been concerting huge efforts to do an anatomic study of this mystery but still a vast range of this remains to be explored.The mystery of this universe is enfolded by the Divine Spirit and that alone can unfold it. This idea is mentioned in the Vedic verse "So agna Veda yadi vā na veda" (RV.10.129.7), which means: He, verily, is the controller of this universe and He alone has full knowledge of everything created. Every act of matter in creation combined with energy is preordained and has some ultimate predetermined purpose . Vedic creation is governed by two essential principles - "Yathāpūrvam" and "Yathātathyataḥ". The process of cosmic creation in every cycle will be the same as it had been in the previous cycles of creation before the last dissolution. These led to some positive conclusions in dealing with the creation of the universe: - 1.The universe is created.2.Braḥma, Jīva and Prakṝti are eternal entities.3.There is incoherence of causal laws between cause and effect.4. Braḥma is the efficient first cause of creation and the creation is a purposeful act.5.Administration of law, unity, uniformity and purpose is seen everywhere in the universe.These conclusions refute all imaginary theories of creation like the Theory of Negation, the Theories of Illusion and Delusion, the Theory of Momentarism, the Theory of Idealism, the Theory of Chance and Evolution, etc. Philosophers, while dealing with the subject of creation, arrive at three possible theories known as Atheistic theory, Pantheistic theory and Theistic theory. But these are mere hypotheses and are not the real solution to the riddle of the universe.

Providing new insights into the contemporary creationist-evolution debates, this book looks at the Hindu cultural-religious traditions of India, the Hindu Dharma traditions. By focusing on the interaction of religion and science in a Hindu context, it offers a global context for understanding contemporary creationist-evolution conflicts and tensions utilizing a critical analysis of Hindu perspectives on these issues. The cultural and political as well as theological nature of these conflicts is illustrated by drawing attention to parallels with contemporary Islamic and Buddhist responses to modern science and Darwinism. The book explores various ancient and classical Hindu models to explain the origin of the universe encompassing creationist as well as evolutionary—but non-Darwinian—interpretations of how we came to be. Complex schemes of cosmic evolution were developed, alongside creationist proofs for the existence of God utilizing distinctly Hindu versions of the design argument. After examining diverse elements of the Hindu Dharmic traditions that laid the groundwork for an ambivalent response to Darwinism when it first became known in India, the book highlights the significance of the colonial context. Analysing critically the question of compatibility between traditional Dharmic theories of knowledge and the epistemological assumptions underlying contemporary scientific methodology, the book raises broad questions regarding the frequently alleged harmony of Hinduism, the eternal Dharma, with modern science, and with Darwinian evolution in particular.
