The real truth about "God Particle" & "Big Bang"

On 10/09/2008 an "Atom-Smasher" experiment started underground along the Swiss-French border to recreate the Big Bang. It is thought that it can unveil the puzzle & the eternal question, "How we all came into being?" As per one theory, only 4-5% of the universe's content is matter and 25% of it is invisible dark matter. As high as 75% of the universe consists of dark energy about which very little is known. The atom-smasher experiment could help scientists solve some of the above said unsolved queries. This European underground experiment is trying to recreate conditions that existed immediately after the Big Bang.

"God particle": Dubbed the "God particle" by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman, the "Higgs boson" is a controversial theoretical particle believed to bestow mass on all other particles. Higgs boson, or "God particle" is understood theoretically to be the basis of all matter as well anti-matter and dark matter. It is only a theoretical particle not yet observed.

"All world scientists hope to unlock the secrets about the atom, the universe and its origin with collisions of highly charged photons in the "Large Hadron Collider", located 150 meters underneath near Geneva, Switzerland. The Large Hadron Collidor is an experiment which will continue over the next 15 years, to replicate a miniature “Big Bang” that created the Universe.

Neutrons and protons are the best known particles. Scientists hope to discover new particles—Higgs-Bosons, also termed ‘God Particles’ , which they theorize are responsible for mass of atoms. The particles are named after Kolkata-born Satyendra Nath Bose (1894-1974 ) and UK-born Peter Higgs, both eminent physicists. The LHC is the largest and the most costliest experiment in the world ever at over $9 billion.

In one controversy 'God particle' theorist Peter Higgs has attacked his Nobel prize rival Stephen Hawking, describing his work as "not good enough". Professor Hawking once placed a $100 bet that the 'God particle' does not exist. However, Scientists believe the 'God particle' is crucial to understanding the origin of mass. Shortly after the big bang, it is thought many particles weighed nothing, but became heavy later on.

MY VIEWS: As per me, all the above said is only in the realm of theories of particle physics & till date there is no evidence of 'God particle' or "Higgs boson". Now I shall try to present my perspective whose basis is in the realm of philosophy. For me Great Indian book "Bhagwat Gita" is the greatest of philosophical book which answers all your queries from how this universe was created or how one should lead one's life or what is the truth of life & death. "Bhagwat Gita" answers all your queries. Now here I shall try to explain the truth about "God Particle" & "Big Bang".

As per "Bhagwat Gita" God has created this universe out of "Zero" or nothing. Sometimes God himself is also called "Zero" as Vedas tell us that "In the beginning was "Zero" or nothing & out of nothing or un-manifest aspect of God, came everything." Before the universe came into being, God in His "Zero" or un-manifest aspect was there & then He willed to create this universe. That "Zero" substance to which our Vedas call "God" is the source of Consciousness as well as Un-Conscious matter. He is also the source of Mind & Intellect. From this Zero aspect of God, on His will, He created two energies, one was called lower energy & other was called higher energy.

It is to be understood that it is only due to the WILL of GOD that whole creation takes place out of "ZERO". God in His un-manifest aspect just willed & hence the energies required to form this universe sprang out of "Zero" or "Nothing" or "God". Now it is these energies that are the focus of particle physics scientists. These scientists need to know that "God cannot be distilled in test tubes in laboratories" nor "God can come out of 'Atom-Smasher' experiment that has been started underground along the Swiss-French border to recreate the Big Bang. Pl. note that "Big Bang" started with the Will of God & also guided by His Super Intelligence. By just God's willing, Material Energy came into being which in turn created this vast infinite Space & later on out of Space came out the Air, Fire, Water & Earth. Unless until we consider & have faith in God with all His powers & His super Intelligence, we cannot appreciate the reality & truth about Big Bang.

As per "Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Seven verse 4,5,6" :

"Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and false ego—all together these eight constitute God's lower (insentient) nature or energy. Other than this there is another, superior or higher energy of God by which whole world is sustained & is in the form of "Life principle" energy or spiritual energy . All created beings (animate or inanimate) have their source in these two natures or energies.

Now out of the above above two energies, "Life principle" energy or Spiritual energy or also called Soul, is the one which is Un-manifest & cannot be externalized in any case. Though it is everlasting, present everywhere within the space, unchangeable, immovable and eternally the same but still it cannot be Manifested or externalized.

But the other energy (lower one) can be externalized & has externalized the "Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Space, Mind, Intelligence and also the Ego principle". This energy in it's initial & original form is called "Nature Principle" or even "Om". This "Nature Principle" in it's initial & original form is Un-manifest only & all these "Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Space, Mind, Intelligence and also the Ego principle" that came out of it are only metamorphic forms of one another. This "Nature Principle" is the invisible divine power, the only doer, the sole causative & activating force that upholds all creation through vibration. "Nature Principle" or Om or the Word is the creative vibration that externalizes all creation. Now though "Nature Principle" is invisible power lying within the every atom of the universe, energizing & giving life to every atom of the matter; it is so subtle that it cannot be Manifested in such a form that it is captured by the "Large Hadron Collidor" in an experiment in Laboratory. We need to understand that such divine energies lying within the every atom of creation, cannot be manifested by such destructive experiments of "Atom-Smasher". I am of the view that though "God particle" exists in nature which bestow mass on all other particles but due to it's Un-manifest nature it cannot be seen with any machine. It is so subtle that it is beyond the view of any microscope or machine.

It is also called that God is a matter of faith & not of Intellect. The truth of God which lies within every atom of the creation, can be known by faith in HIM & by reading the philosophical books like "Vedas", "Upanishads", "Bhagwat Gita" etc. If someone really wants to experience such forces in nature & our creation, then that person needs to practice meditation & learn those techniques through which great Indian Yogis tuned their minds to Divinity & knew all those truths about God & Nature.

Below are verses of Bhagwat Gita which relate to creation of the universe & God:

"avyaktad vyaktayah sarvah
prabhavanty ahar-agame
ratry-agame praliyante
tatraivavyakta-samjnake" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Eight verse 18)

"Sri Krishna said: At the beginning of Brahma’s day, all living entities become manifest from the un-manifest state, and thereafter, when the night falls, they are merged into the un-manifest again."

avyakta-nidhanany eva
tatra ka paridevana" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Two verse 28)

"Sri Krishna said: All created beings are un-manifest in their beginning, manifest in their interim state, and un-manifest again when annihilated. So what need is there for lamentation?"

"yad aditya-gatam tejo
jagad bhasayate ’khilam
yac chandramasi yac chagnau
tat tejo viddhi mamakam" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Fifteen verse 12)

"Sri Krishna said: O Arjuna, The splendor of the sun, which dissipates the darkness of this whole world, comes from Me. And the splendor of the moon and the splendor of fire are also from Me."

"gama-vishya cha bhutani

pusnami chausadhih sarvah
somo bhutva rasatmakah" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Fifteen verse 13)

"Sri Krishna said: O Arjuna, And entering the earth, it is I who sustain all beings by My power; & becoming the nectarean moon, I nourish all plants."

vedais cha sarvair aham eva vedyo
vedanta-krd veda-vid eva chaham" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Fifteen verse 15)

"Sri Krishna said: O Arjuna, I am seated in everyone’s heart, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness. By all the Vedas, I am to be known. Indeed, I am the compiler of Vedanta, and I am the knower of the Vedas."

Is there life on other Planets???... Yes, You are a Cosmic Traveler

Is there life on other Planets??? Do we travel or can travel from one Planet / Star to another? This question is always there in modern day scientists mind. As the distances from one planet to another are so high that even if we are able to travel very very fast towards these planets, it shall take many many years to reach the nearest planet. But we do see so many stars, planets, galaxies through telescopes & now a days, through Hubble Telescope too so many Galaxies & stars are so vividly seen that our earth is not even a speck of dust in this vast Universe. But due to distances of Space & Time, we are unable to actually see into these other celestial things/bodies from closer & are unable to find the facts whether there is life there on these celestial bodies or not?

Now as per Einstein's theory of Relativity, any material body, when travels & starts nearing the velocity of light (1,86,000 miles / sec), it's weight starts increasing & it's weight shall increase to INFINITE weight, if it actually starts travelling at the velocity of light. So this clearly establishes that any material thing/body cannot travel at the velocity of light as with the increase in its weight it shall require Infinite energy to move it. So our material body travelling at the speed of light is just ruled out as per above reason. So if we with this material body cannot travel at that light speed so we cannot go & look into other celestial bodies.

So we shall have to change our thinking, rather Mindset about all such matters. Till date our Scientific World is able to think only about the Material Things & Material Bodies & our scientists are able to think & do research about these Material things only. But the vastness of this world limits their research as said above due to the limitations posed by Einstein's theory of Relativity as with this material body of theirs they cannot go & explore the outer worlds out there. Now our scientists, astronomers need to change their thinking & Mindset. They need to think beyond Material things & need to think about "Immaterial things" , "Immaterial Bodies" & "Immaterial worlds".

Now what is "Immaterial"? "Immaterial" is that thing which exists but is not in the Material Form. "Light" is a kind of "Immaterial" thing. Light can be felt, it has it's existence but still it is not material. So the Things/Bodies/Worlds made of Light or "Immaterial" substance needs to be the new research area of our scientists if they need to know more about this big, huge universe. Now, as with the material mindset we cannot know about this universe & other planets , we need to think in terms of subtle things & spiritual things, with a spiritual mindset. With this Spiritual thinking only where we go beyond this material thinking, we are able to know more about this universe. Here a thing to note is that subtle & spiritual things & thinking about it is a matter of FAITH & not reason, as those things which exists but are unable to be seen by eyes or perceived with our other senses, cannot come under the scope of physical microscope or can be reasoned. But if we do have FAITH & do subtle practices to perceive it, then we can know about these & experience these also.

In this sense, "Bhagwat Gita" is a great book which gives all these answers to these questions. Now as the science & it's laws have limitations , so we shall need to have " FAITH" in all these scriptures & shall need to find the truths of Life & it's Subtle answers from these great books. As per "Bhagwat Gita" , God has created this whole creation with its so many planets/Stars/Solar Systems/Galaxies where people live in Material, as well as, in "Immaterial Bodies" & a person goes to these places at different points of Time & Space as per their Karmic Laws.

Below are few verses of "Bhagwat Gita" which points out of a soul travelling to different planets as per Karmic Law.

Here is one "Verse - 14, Chapter Fourteen of Bhagwat Gita"

"yada sattve pravreddhe tu
pralayam yati deh-bhrit
tado Uttam-vidam lokan
malan pratipadhyate " (Gita: Chapter XIV verse 14)

"When one dies after doing Great & Good Karmas & establishsed in the mode of goodness, he attains to the pure higher planets of the great sages."

Here is another one "Verse - 15, Chapter Fourteen of Bhagwat Gita"

"rajsi pralayam gatva
karma-sanghisu jayte
tatha pralinas tamsi
mudhh-yonishu jayate" (Gita: Chapter XIV verse 15)

"When one dies after doing Mixed Karmas in the mode of passion, he takes birth among those engaged in fruitive activities; and when one dies in the mode of ignorance, he takes birth in the animal kingdom."

Here is another one "Verse - 18, Chapter Fourteen of Bhagwat Gita"

"urdhvam gacchanti sattva-stha
madhye tish-thanti rajasa
jaghanya-guna-vrtti-stha
adho gacchanti tamasa (Gita: Chapter XIV verse 18)

"Those situated in the mode of goodness after doing Good Karma's gradually go upward to the higher planets; those in the mode of passion after doing Mixed Karma's live on the earthly planets; and those in the abominable mode of ignorance after doing Bad Karma's go down to the hellish worlds."

So the above said verses clearly establish that there are many many worlds in this universe where there is life & these planets / stars / worlds are inhabited by people of different good & bad qualities. Human soul after doing Good & Bad Karma's on this earth travels to these worlds after death & live over there as per Karmic laws.

There are many expert Yogis who by the power of their Yoga can go out of their present body at will & can travel anywhere in this universe by the power of their Yoga. But such Great Yogis are rare. In India there had been many mystics who had the power to rise above the laws of nature & are beyond the powers of Karma's. They had the power to move out of their body & in the cosmos at their free will. Jesus Christ too had similar powers due to which he was able to resurrect his body after death & was able to appear before his disciples after death. He too had the power to move freely on Earth & in Cosmos even after his death. Jesus had realised the all pervading God or all pervading consciousness & was one that consciousness. Due to his oneness with God, Jesus had the power to move around the many mansions of God i.e. move around different planets/ stars/ cosmos in the universe.

Now below is how a normal human soul (not a realized Yogi's Soul) travels to these worlds after death as per the karmic laws.

As per the "Bhagwat Gita", " in human body there is an entity called "Mann" which is also an "Immaterial" substance . This "Mann" is also called a spark of the universally present consciousness. It is the "Consciousness" or " Mann" through which we are able to perceive this world, i.e. all the enjoyments of senses are perceived through this " Mann" only in our body. Human intellect & memory are also a part of it & all the memories of this birth & previous births are also stored in this "Mann" only.

At the death of a person this "Consciousness" or " Mann" takes aways all the human senses, its past, present sensory experiences & all the past, present memories with it. It is so subtle that due to its "Immaterial" nature it can travel at the speed of Light & can travel from one planet to another. So due to all the Karmic law as destined by God, it goes from one body to another in the different worlds. So as a person's "Mann" moves from one body to another & one world to another world in " Time & Space", so that's why, It is also called "A Cosmic Traveler"
Below are some more verses of "Bhagwat Gita", which clearly tells that there are so many Material Worlds in which a Soul ("Mann" which is a spark of the all pervading Cosmic Consciousness) travels from one place to another after taking repeated births. These are those people who have not yet known the God, hence they take repeated births.

But then there are those great souls who have known God & becomes eligible to better worlds which are not perishable. These worlds & these human beings are not annihilated & live an eternal life over there. Below are two verses teaching the same thing.

First one is "Verse - 16, Chapter Eight of Bhagwat Gita" :

"a-brahm-bhuvanan loka
punara vartino ajuna
mam upetya tu kauntey
punara janm na vidhyate" (Gita: Chapter VIII verse 16)

"From the highest planet of Brahm Loka in the material world down to the lowest world, all are places of misery wherein a person comes in repeated birth and death from time to .time. But one who attains to to Me (God), O son of Kunti, never takes birth again."

Second one is "Verse - 20, Chapter Eight of Bhagwat Gita" :

"para's tasmat tu bhavo a'nyo
a'vyakto a'vyaktat sanatanah
ya sa sarveshu bhuteshu
nashyatsu na vinashyati " (Gita: Chapter VIII verse 20)

"Beyond the above said material worlds, which are all perishable, there is another unmanifest nature, which is eternal and is transcendental in nature. It is supreme and is never annihilated. When all in this material world is annihilated, that part remains as it is i.e. it is never annihilated & there is eternal life."

So Let us have Faith in God & Scriptures as with a spiritual bent of mind only you can unravel the mysteries of world & your life.
