Hinduism-Cosmology
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Hinduism's understanding of time is as grandiose as time itself. While most cultures base their cosmologies on familiar units such as few hundreds or thousands of years, the Hindu concept of time embraces billions and trillions of years. The Puranas describe time units from the infinitesimal truti, lasting 1/1,000,0000 of a second to a mahamantavara of 311 trillion years. Hindu sages describe time as cyclic, an endless procession of creation, preservation and dissolution. Scientists such as Carl Sagan have expressed amazement at the accuracy of space and time descriptions given by the ancient rishis and saints, who fathomed the secrets of the universe through their mystically awakened senses. In India science and religion are not opposed fundamentally, as they often seem to be in the other religious traditions, but are seen as parts of the same great search for truth and enlightenment that inspired the sages of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Thus, in the Hindu scientific approach, understanding of external reality depends on also understanding the godhead. In all Hindu traditions the Universe is said to precede not only humanity but also the gods. Fundamental to Hindu concepts of time and space is the notion that the external world is a product of the creative play of maya (illusion). Accordingly the world as we know it is not solid and real but illusionary. The universe is in constant flux with many levels of reality; the task of the saint is find release (moksha) from the bonds of time and space.

These are not to be taken literally. Active is said to be day, passive is said to be night. during Brahma's day, 'things move, action is initiated. During night, there is just stillness. The idea of 'God' is also different. Creation is just said to come and go as the waves on a ocean (Brahman), every wave is made of the same stuff as the ocean, cannot be independent of the ocean, goes back into the ocean but looks separate for a while.
