Smaller size PDF of Puranas from Gita Press Gorakhpur (WIP).

Gita Press Gorakhpur has published their books in PDF, digitized scan images in Public Domain. The problem I faced was they are huge in size. You can get those books from here https://archive.org/   search Gita press in the search option. It will show various files. Some are old and some are new. New scanned images are very high in size. e.g. https://archive.org/download/brahma-puran-gita-press-gorakhpur

The PDF is 1GB and _jp2.zip file is 561MB. I downloaded this zip and converted jp2 to jpg files and made PDF 72MB in size. Its good quality and has small size. I will slowly build other PDFs and upload them for others to download. Since the work is still in progress not all PDF are ready to download at present.

Universe creation in vedas (Hinduism), beyond Bing Bang theory, beyond string theory.

Image is from Paingalopanishad (1.4)

Due to lack of words in English the translation of sanskrit is prone to errors but i will try to write as understandable as possible. The article doesn't write full description of creation because it will require whole book. Below is information how everything started to come into existence.

Vedas say everything comes from brahm. Closest word for it is singleton. Brahm cannot be described and its the only definition of it. It can only be experienced when we become brahm. Its like river merges into ocean and becomes ocean. Suppose there is just an apple in whole space. Can the apple see itself? No it cannot. It only feels itself. Same way this existence is. Before starting about what above image says i will give analogies to make things easier to understand.

Suppose this universe is an ocean and there is nothing else except water. But there exists energy which creates waves in ocean. Waves superimposed and created various nodes/anti nodes or standing waves. Now consider these standing waves as a body which consciousness binds and can feel itself as living entity. The life span of these standing waves is life span of the entity. Another way to understand is energy causes ocean water to solidify at various parts. Like some ice blocks are created and some places gas is created. Ocean becomes filled with bubbles, ice etc. These ice etc cannot see water from which themselves are made. This creates illusion that they are something i.e. "self" an illusion of identity appears. Its the ocean waves which govern the motion of ice gas etc but ice gas etc think they are having some will and move by themselves. This is the reason there is no existence of free will and future is fixed. Freedom is also hoax. The only thing which is free is the consciousness itself that bound itself with the ocean objects. Similar is the idea in reality. This body is just like that ice etc but the level of complexity is beyond understandable.

Above describes the below in easier form. Let's begin with what is written in vedas.

Video which gives better visualization of the above :

Translation of above screenshot -

From brahm (omnipresent, singleton, indescribable...) comes prakriti. Prakriti appeared from Brahm just like water is seen in desert. It means prakriti is nothing in itself but illusion of existence. A reflection of this prakriti also appeared (creation of pair or two opposite things from nothingness). This reflection was called consciousness which has ability to witness.

The prakriti gets some imperfections/modifications and as result gets superimposition ability. The reflection of this ability also appeared and it was called "Ishwar chaitanya" (godly consciousness).

This ishwar chaitanya controls the maya. Maya is the illusion power of prakriti which creates this real looking illusion world.

Ishwar chaitanya controls the life cycle of whole existence or world or universe. It is the root of universe and beyond that can be perceived or witnessed. Ishwar chaitanya contains into itself the whole existence. It expands the world and withdraws into itself just like folded cloths are wore and then folded back. Translation part ends here.

The actual description has more sanskrit words which don't have English alternative. The concept is nothingness creates this illusion world using its superimposition abilities.

The mathematical way is

0 => 1 - 1

Here 0 is creating 2 things opposite in nature. This way infinite creations can happen. World is maths and consciousness is separate from it. 1 - 1 = 0.5 + 0.5 - 1

This equation derivation is evolution of life. Infinite ways are possible and infinite life are possible. Everything merges back to become 0. To protect the 2 opposites from becoming 0 some preservation force is created by nature and this causes equation derivation. That's why in Hinduism there are 3 devas with creation, preservation and transformation duties. They are the controllers of universe. Their reflection i.e. devis also exist.

World is created through AUM. Everything is AUM. The three sounds or 3 states. It actually has 4 states of which 4th state is hidden. Aaaa + Uuuu + mmmm + silence. This is the universal sequence and exists everywhere. Creation -> preservation -> transformation/destruction -> nothingness. Tridevas i.e. 3 devas are AUM. Breathing is AUM i.e. inhale, hold, exhale, 4th state of hold which shows end of cycle.

In this article superimposition means something affects itself to create something. Its like wave superimposes to create nodes antinodes. Universe therefore is nothing but wave and this wave starts by sound AUM. This is the reason ancient civilizations were so much involved into sound/waves mantras etc. They knew waves alone could do anything. One who can create waves of desired behaviour can achieve desired results. If i oscillate my hand at frequency of light my hand will start emitting light because our eyes will start perceiving the waves created by hand. This topic is huge and needs more time to write. I will continue in next articles.
