Hindu Philosophy- A Rational Life

  Theory of sorrow Samkhya - oldest Indian philosophy- established the theory of sorrow which is not based on Karma like Mimansaka. Samkhya stated that because we act according to our Gunas- Sattva, Rajas and Tamas , our actions are not result of free will. Therefore the actions are not conducted by Purusa.   Samkhya advanced that there are three types of sorrows or pains- The first is spiritual ( Adhyatmika ) -- which caused by our own dilemma like feeling solitude, confusion. The other is external ( Adhibhautika ) like injury, body pain, fever . And the third is divine ( Adhidaivika ) caused by planets and stars.

The touch stone of moral life of Hindus was Karma (actions), the only criteria of fruits, if one does good actions, he get good results or vice verse.

Big Bang theory and Vedas ‘There was neither existence         nor non-existence’ Science came out to explain the evolution of universe with the theory (literary theory) of ‘big bang’ explaining that before ‘big bang’ there was neither the concept of time nor space and categorically there was nothing.  Cosmos, according to scientists, was a singular and then there was ‘big bang’ about 13.8 billion years ago and just after that there was inflation and later at present universe is expanding with the speed of light and the observable universe is having an edge as horizon event.   Science explains that before ‘big bang’ there was nothing exists and there was no matter or energy and therefore there was nothing before the ‘big bang.’   ‘Big bang’ is the theory that explains that everything in the cosmos started with the one bang of a singular particle and then cosmos started and therefore there is space, time, matter, energy and living things exists. ------------------- Nasadiy
