ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE ACCODING TO THE HINDU SCRIPTURE.
Rigveda X.129 Nasadiya Sukta
(Rigvedha was written at least some four thousand years before the birth of Christ)
1. There was neither non-being then, nor being. There was neither atmos-phere nor any ether be-yond it. What was in vi-bration and from where, in whose protection, what water was there deep and unfathomable?
2. There was not death and no trace of immortality. There was no sign of night or day. That One breathed without breath by its own nature. Beyond it there was nothing what-soever.
3. In the beginning, darkness existed, hidden in dark-ness. All this was a signless ocean. When emptiness hidden by immensity ex-isted, by the power of tapas the One was born.
4. Desire came into being in the beginning, which was the first seed of the mind. The wise seers with the perception in the heart found the kinship of being in non-being.
5. The ray of theirs extended widely across. What was below it and what was above it? The placers of the seed existed; great powers were there, the self-nature below and the causative force above.
6. Who now knows and who can declare from where it arose, from where is this manifestation. The Gods came after its production.
Hence who knows from where it has come into being?
7. This manifestation and from where it has arisen, whether he controls it or whether he does not. Who is its overseer in the supreme ether, per-haps he knows or per-haps he does not know.
