Vedic cosmology

Universal and cultural affairs

The enclosed universe, infinite space, and the accuracy of cosmic calculations

Many ancient cultures spoke of the universe  being an  enclosed unit  with lower , middle, and upper planetary systems within a “shell ”, this indicates that the original cosmological knowledge of the Vedas , in former times was  widely distributed and worldwide cultures were influenced by it due to extensive distribution of this type of knowledge.  This was done by ancient trade routes as well as wondering  mendicants , who were wondering educators,  as well as exiled kings forming new kingdoms along with their following .

Outside of a universal shell , within which the upper , middle , and lower planetary systems are situated ,and  many many cultures aligned with those  Vedic cosmological calculations and they also demonstrated those regions were  places where  Divinity and His super subjective planes existed and  the laws of material nature didn’t. These multiple cultures remarkably give similar descriptions of the splendour of  spiritual varigatedness. Extensive and more detailed descriptions are  given in both the Sruti and Smriti scriptures of the Vedas . They also bring a fascinating insight into  the  relationships  and personalities who reside there . Loving exchanges with an unlimited personality  such as Krishna obviously are enthralling and appear as ever new, and the residents are ever enthusiastic to exchange love and emotion.

The Greeks and later the Arabic cultures  and other cultures from the South Americas all held this  similar understandings , thus its evident  cultures were intertwined and evidence for  a much earlier concept of a global world can be thought of .

When the Roman empire  conquered most of  Europe, having  adopted  within their own cultures some aspects of Christianity ,  blind unscientific religious fanaticism began to develop . Some or most of the traditional Vedic ways  of understanding our universe , along with a  greater scientific approach  to consciousness, began to  decline . This unscientific, fanatical religious doctrine was imposed  on the public by the use of militant and political might . Later , when the  Roman empire came to an end , Christians predominanted and scientific thinking outside of  the  misinterpreted bible came to a complete halt .  Fortunately, the old Arabic and Greek texts were still preserved in some places , Mogal empires who were taking a less dogmatic approach preserved  some of the  scientific traditions of thinking of our universal structures and that was essentially theological in nature . In India, of course, this Vedic cosmological remained in tact .

The Renaissance period gave a rebirth to science and shunned the early unscientific religious fanatical doctrine. A rethinking of  the universal   order was formed  . Modern geometric systems and euclidean math became the new way of looking at life , so much so , that God was pushed right out the picture, and so was dualism .Scientific materialism was born , meaning the mind and body as a seperate unit was discouraged and not taught . The mechanistic Darwinian world had begun, scientific materialism that used  math and mechanistic thinking  , it placed our stars millions of miles away,  and a concept of an infinite space,  with no God outside of a universal shell was developed , and  this was taught in educational systems. If there were a God ,  some thought,  it’s  probably an impersonal energy . The idea of a separate mind to matter was written off  because the mind could not be measured , and math could not be applied .

Measurements of the distance of planets in a multidimensional space,  as spoken about by Lisa Randall, the Harvard Prof,  may not be so easy to calculate .   The laws of physics are said in the Vedas to operate differently in different parts of the universe, so what  is far is near ,what is near is far in a multidimensional universe.

The traditional and ancient cultures, along with their  sciences, should not be so  hastily discarded or rubbished and  replaced by scientific materialism , which in itself is an uncalibrated dogma . Scientific materialism can not  account for a mind , but rather believe  it to  only be simple neurons firing in a mechanistic mathematical brain . These events are all supposedly happening by chance in a chance universe . This mechanistic veiw could be said to be  ludicrously absurd , and discards the notion of the  intelligence and obvious design in just about everything we see .   Also, it ignores the perfect math in nature , where there is perfect mathematics you can bet your bottom dollar there is a perfect mathematician behind it .
