3 Possibilities in contradiction
1. Science is WrongEx: Darwinian Evolution
2. Science is IncompleteEx: Big-Bang
3. Science & Vedas Observe from different Scales
Ex: Vedic Cosmology

Vedic cosmology - two main sourcesPuranas – divine perspectiveJyotisha Shaastras – human perspective- astronomical siddhanta – similar to info in modern cosmology
Surya siddhanta- 253,000 miles
Modern measurement – 252,710 miles
Earth’s dia – 7840 miles compared to modern measurement of 7926.7 miles
![Page 14: Scriptural Wisdom](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e43550346895dccb4ae/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Similarly we can’t know for sure where the astronauts went as Vedic scriptures say Chandraloka is higher dimensional planet for higher living beings.
Math book says 3+3=6.3+3≠6 surely wrong
![Page 15: Scriptural Wisdom](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e43550346895dccb4ae/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
THREE POSSIBILITIES
1.3 D can have 2 D projectionSimilarly space crafts cannot take us more
than 3 D.
So astronauts –may – in 3 D projection of Chandraloka but not experience its higher dimension- residents, heavenly opulences etc.,
![Page 16: Scriptural Wisdom](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e43550346895dccb4ae/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

If a person moves his finger from Pune to Mumbai in the map he does not experience the people and the skysrapers.

3. Could not have gone at all !!!!
2. High-tech diversion by demigods.

Where modern cosmology falls
short??
![Page 20: Scriptural Wisdom](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e43550346895dccb4ae/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Scientific technology works – cellphones,internet etc.,
![Page 21: Scriptural Wisdom](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e43550346895dccb4ae/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Spiritual technology works – eg-mantra meditation
![Page 22: Scriptural Wisdom](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e43550346895dccb4ae/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Different things work at different levels
Goal – improve external comforts and control –then scienceGoal – to improve internal life – then spi technology

A quote from Noble Laureate Nobel physicist Erwin Schrodinger
‘I am very astonished that the scientific picture of the real world around me is very deficient. It gives a lot of factual information, puts all our experience in a magnificently consistent order, but it is ghastly silent about all and sundry that is really near to our heart, that really matters to us. It cannot tell us a word about red and blue, bitter and sweet, physical pain and physical delight; it knows nothing of beautiful and ugly, good or bad, God and eternity. Science sometimes pretends to answer questions in these domains, but the answers are very often so silly that we are not inclined to take them seriously.’
![Page 24: Scriptural Wisdom](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e43550346895dccb4ae/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Our birth, beauty, intelligence… cannot be explained by science
![Page 25: Scriptural Wisdom](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e43550346895dccb4ae/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
•Science cannot even explain life on this planet.•It says life comes from chemicals but cannot demonstrate.It cannot explain how
and why
life arises?
![Page 26: Scriptural Wisdom](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e43550346895dccb4ae/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, in his book Ignited Minds, quotes Albert Einstein recalling Werner Heisenberg’s words to him: ‘You know in the West we have built a large, beautiful ship. It has all the comforts in it, but one thing is missing: it has no compass and does not know where to go.’
![Page 27: Scriptural Wisdom](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e43550346895dccb4ae/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
More complete Cosmology
![Page 28: Scriptural Wisdom](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e43550346895dccb4ae/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Book Vedic Cosmography and Astronomy – by Dr. Richard L.Thompson – scientist disciple of Srila Prabhupada
Classical Physics – compatible with quantum physics in the domain it was originally applied.
![Page 29: Scriptural Wisdom](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e43550346895dccb4ae/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Similarly Vedic cosmology- compatible with modern cosmology with regards to astronomical measurements
and Complete due to its ability to account for higher-dimensional cosmic realms, higher living beings and ultimately the higher purpose of life.
![Page 30: Scriptural Wisdom](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e43550346895dccb4ae/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Vedic cosmology – theistic and spiritual - we are spiritual beings - we are on cosmic journey through
many ,many bodies in different parts of the cosmos.
-we are children of Supreme Being
![Page 31: Scriptural Wisdom](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e43550346895dccb4ae/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Cosmos – created and controlled by God
Cosmos – created and controlled by God through assistants
called demigods of which Soma, presiding deity of moon is one.
![Page 32: Scriptural Wisdom](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e43550346895dccb4ae/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Humility – required in approaching works of God like cosmos.
We cannot expect to conquer the cosmos with our intellect and dominate it for our ends.
This vain attitude will lead only to bafflement. Eg – non- devotional approach of scholars.
![Page 33: Scriptural Wisdom](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e43550346895dccb4ae/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
A good example of a devotional attitude to
cosmic research is the following quote of Johannes Kepler: “I have endeavored to gain for human reason, aided by geometrical calculation, an insight into His way of creation; may the Creator of the heavens themselves, the father of all reason, to whom our mortal senses owe their existence, may He who is Himself immortal… keep me in His grace and guard me from reporting anything about His work which cannot be justified before His magnificence or which may misguide our powers of reason, and may He cause us to aspire to the perfection of His works of creation by the dedication of our lives.”
![Page 34: Scriptural Wisdom](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e43550346895dccb4ae/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
THE ULTIMATE COSMIC FLIGHT
![Page 35: Scriptural Wisdom](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e43550346895dccb4ae/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Vedic culture – not against cosmic travel…….
- become transcendental cosmonauts and fly beyond moon , sun, entire universe to spiritual world(our eternal home).
![Page 36: Scriptural Wisdom](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e43550346895dccb4ae/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
![Page 37: Scriptural Wisdom](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e43550346895dccb4ae/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Is sun closer to earth than moon?
![Page 38: Scriptural Wisdom](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e43550346895dccb4ae/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Vedic(Puranic literature) –•based on evolution of consciousness of the residents of the cosmos• vertical dimension(unknown to modern science)•Places planets in hierarchy according to the level of their consciousness
![Page 39: Scriptural Wisdom](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e43550346895dccb4ae/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Consider three flats….. •Flat A (ground floor)
• Flat B(20th floor of the next building)
• Flat C(3rd floor of another building far away from Flat A)
![Page 40: Scriptural Wisdom](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815e43550346895dccb4ae/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

HORIZONTALLYFlat B is much closer to Flat A than B.
DIAGONALLY
VERTICALLYFlat C is much closer to Flat A
Flat C is farther away from Flat A than Flat B.

On the basis of hierarchy of consciousness
Flat A is like EarthFlat B is like MoonFlat C is like Sun
Modern Science – super speculative w.r.t cosmology
Vedic understanding – •intellectually coherent•holistic and •based on higher dimensional perspective
