When one looks at the big bang cosmology, it looks like a perfect recipe for a universe to be formed; as if some cosmological cook was cooking a perfect dish.
Even a small tilt of balance on one side or the other side of this cosmic cooking would have caused the immediate destruction of the universe being created.
On the one side any small tilting of the balance would have caused the universe to immediately collapse onto itself back to the pre-bigbang state and on the other hand a small tilting on the other side of the balance would have caused the universe to be thrown apart into infinity before any meaningful structure formation like nebula, galaxies or stars took place.
But now that we are living in a well structured, balanced universe we are sure that neither of the above happened? But how did this happen? How was the universe so finely tuned during its creation? Did somebody physically tune it? God? Where does God live? Who created this God?
I personally am not convinced by the idea of a God who resides outside the universe, because then the question arises about who created this God? If the answer is that God has always existed, then why can’t the same be applied to the universe? Why cant we say that universe has always been existing in this eternal collapsing and evolving life cycle?
The vedic idea of God being the consciousness which all pervades the universe seems more plausible to me. God is compared in the vedas to a spider which creates its web using its own secretion and then resides within the same web. God is both the container of the universe as well as what is contained within it. The supreme consciousness is everywhere, within us, within all animals, within stars, planets there by making the entire universe divine and living. Which is why Hindus worship all forms of the universe as God. It doenst matter whether it is an animal, a tree, a statue, a mountain, or sun or planets, or parents, teachers, elders, nation, house, land, crops, birds – divinity is all pervading.
In fact for the vedic word which defines this supreme divinity there is no equivalent word in English. God is not the right word at all. In fact there are many such words in sanskrit which do not have equivalent words in English and this leads to all sort of confusion in the minds of those who read translated works from Sanskrit to English.
Now coming back to the question of our universe and the chance that ours was a perfect recipe for formation of structure, what might be the reason for this?
Do we live in a multiverse, a place (I am calling it place since I dont have any other word for it) where universes are continuosly being born and dying like the bubbles of water?
And then might be that among them one in a few millions (?) or so comes out with a perfect recipe for evolution of structure and subsequently provide opportunity for evolution of life as we know it. Now this one is purely based on chance. Just like one in a few million genetic mutations might turn out to be beneficiary, one in a few million such bubbles might evolve into a full structured universe like ours.
So if ours is a one in a million of the kind of universe then what do we call other bubbles in this multiverse which collapse back immediately? A flopverse? Obviously the one in which we live is a superhit universe.
Thanks to the supreme consciousness which pervades the entire multiverse, we are in a position to try to comprehend and understand the process of creation. While we claim to be awake and thinking in this universe, the vedic texts say that we are actually sleeping in this universe confined within the boundaries of our physical bodies and immediate surroundings – thinking about me, mine and my belongings.
Be Human – Think Local is our punchline.
The awakened state which Buddha wanted everybody to enter was all about recognizing the supreme consciousness within us.
Be Your Soul – Think Universal was Buddha’s punchline.
Thanks, for sharing the knowledge of multiverse,yes mutiverse exits we visit the different universes during sleep which are created by our own conciousness,we can be one with god in the sense of purity and god blesses us in the feeling of goodness and right attitude , which helps us to develop our conciousness
Thats a really nice thought Neelam :)
According to me, Universe is evolving by studying itself and thats why it is so perfect.  Earth was not born the way it is now, it went thru soo many iterations. Similarly, the universe. I disagree it was perfect to be cooked. So it is the consciousness/intelligence which is guiding the universe to develop itself.
The same intelligence is in every object in the universe.
Thank you,
Manikant
Very interesting thought Manikanta of universe being a cosmic mind which is evolving just like the evolution of life on Earth. To add to this, probably there are multiple universes evolving each being a better one than the earlier, the better ones live longer, others vanish back into a big crunch.
Gurudev . Please look at these link.

Thanks for the link Ashish. Thats a real large huge number, so in that case our universe has innumerable siblings :)
Not sure whether humans will be able to understand the complexity or not, but the virtual reality which we think to be physical reality, looks like God wants to confuse us and have fun :)
I know i am replying after 1 year – But we need to read full text in that article – It is not scientific fact – It is theoretically possible – Infact Multiverse is nothing but a random suggestion.
Multiuniverse is not a RANDOM suggestion, the math equations of higher dimensions which solve the current puzzles in physics – the String theory – suggests the existence of a multi universe where p-branes in higher dimensions collide to form D-Branes and each D-Brane is a universe. Infact the Brane Cosmology also solves the puzzle of why gravity is so weak compared to the other fundamental forces of nature.

Very good article but you view that our universe is the only perfect universe might be a bit flawed. What if our universe is not one in a million but just a normal universe where it is governed by one set of rules. (ex: gravity, electromagnetism strong and week forces and limited by speed of light)?
what if every universe is governed by different set of rules? ex lets say that another universe is tilted a little bit at the creating time where anti-matter is dominant and their universe is governed by lets say there is no limit to the speed of light and atoms are held together by gravity and planets are held together by electromagnetism. and it also has an intelligent life. wouldn’t that intelligent life think that theirs is the only perfect universe just like we think?
I wonder how that universe would look and feel like?
Well not possible Mohan. According to the known laws of physics even a slight imbalance in the value of the constants of nature during big bang would cause any universe to either collapse back immediately onto itself or to expand before any structure formation is possible.
For instance look at the simplest (even though there are lots of such pre-conditions required for a perfect universe to form). Pre big bang is pure energy and big bang caused matter and anti-matter to form in equal parts and there is very little chance that say one in million matter particle escapes from being annihilated back by its corresponding anti-matter particle and such zillions of matter particles which are left over (look at the amount of chance here) finally form the universe which contains only matter (or say 99.999999% matter)! So its not a question of whether the universe is matter based or anti matter based, the question is that it is stable for a considerable period of time to allow evolution of structure ie simple atoms then nebulae then galaxies then stars then supernova then planets and then life and so on. It is definitely a very very rare probability.
Either there should be a creator who fine tuned all the physical constants or its a very very rare chance.
Gurudev,
I am not sure whether this is right page to post on parallel time and living.
Parallel time.. or something similar mentioned in one of your article.
Currently, NDTV Imagine hosting ‘Raaz Pichle Janam Ka’ series.
We can clearly notice how conscious rewinds prev. births. What interesting is the present body resonates/reacts to prev. birth’s body/mind pains. Â
So isn’t it experiencing multiple time zones at one instance?

Yes Ursri, I saw them. Infact every single channel has one such program now like punarjanma, janmantara etc and I feel these are actually bogus programmes just for the sake of TRP :)
God is every where newtrons to hevey big live and un movement to God.With out force and linght not movement place to other place.
1.I author of” Sri Rama Ramayana” since 16 years above this is to earing and learning to eassy under standing to peoples. in the Sri rama Ramayana is to completed 6 sruthis each sruthi to rama sentence. In the ramayana i expected to nearly 50 laks rama words.
2. I have been to reasearch the Ramayana sethu and lanka. The lanka and sri lanka was to differents islands at the rama time now these are melted one island. in my research to different routs to sellected that is mythology and modern science .
That is very interesting. Please can you let us know more details about the two different islands you are mentioning. The general common belief is that Ravana’s lanka and modern srilanka are both one and the same.
