Description
About the book :
In Vedas, there are theories that talk about creation of universe. These are not fictions or myths. These are very scientific theories. Theories proposed by modern science match closely with theories documented in Vedas thousands of years ago.
Modern science tries to capture evidence to the best possible extent to prove any theory, however many theories are still based on some key assumptions that can’t be proven. The Vedic literature focuses more on realization of the knowledge rather than focusing on assumptions and evidences.
Purusha Sukta is one such theory that describes creation of the universe. The Big Bang Theory explains concepts similar to the concepts explained in Purusha Sukta.

By the author :
We always hear that the Vedic scriptures are full of knowledge, but there is little effort made to understand and share the knowledge in this literature. Since my childhood I was always fascinated by Vedic literature. I strongly believed that the Vedic scripture has wealth of knowledge and was always keen to understand that.
While I am not an expert in Sanskrit language or in Vedic literature, I am attempting decoding of various Mantras in Purusha Sukta with scientific mindset. Since this Sukta is focused on creation of the universe, I have maintained that context while decoding the Mantras.
While many scholars and great spiritual leaders have written several commentaries on Purusha Sukta, their focus seems to be more spiritual than scientific. While I have tremendous respect to many of those scholars, in many cases, my views differ from those scholars. While my intent is not to challenge anyone, I am humbled to decode the Mantras with scientific viewpoint and not merely translate those.
I sincerely hope that you will find my interpretations insightful and valuable.
