In order to comprehend the mysteries of Universe one has to turn to Nataraja, The King of dance says Carl Sagan, the world renowned astronomer. That he was the pinnacle of the Department of Astronomy, dance Cornel University. The famous 13 hour T. V serial, Cosmos: a personal Voyage was viewed by around ten million viewers in January 1982. That he said that "The Hindu cosmology may possibly contain the answer to the current day astronomers' conflicting views that the universe may possibly either be expanding or contracting. " "If the universe is expanding depending on the 'Big Bang' type of Fred Hoyle and Able Le Maitre, then what are the results to the stars that expand, explode and died? Off, as still another school of astronomy says, the universe is contracting and that the stars and galaxies are increasingly being pulled back to a centre of creation, where do each of them go? " To find out the clear answer for this question he traveled to India. He found the answer in Nataraja, the Hindu God worshipped by an incredible number of Hindus. Pointing to the statue of Nataraja, the ACTING type of Shiva, he said, 'The answer lies in Hindu Cosmology. " Pointing to the conch held by Shiva, Carl Sagan said: " "This symbolizes creation of the universe, stars, galaxies and the human being. " Pointing to the fire in the other hand that he added: This symbolizes destruction of what has been created. " He was wonderstruck on once you understand the wonderful aspect of Hindu cosmology. Why he's got chosen India for Cosmos: a personal Voyage? He explained it very clearly:

"The major reason that individuals oriented this episode of COSMOS towards India is because of that wonderful facet of Hindu cosmology which to start with provides time-scale for the Earth and the universe -- a time-scale which can be consonant with that of modern scientific cosmology. We know that the Earth is all about 4. 6 billion years of age, and the cosmos, or at least its present incarnation, is something similar to 10 or 20 billion yrs . old. The Hindu tradition includes a almost all the time of Brahma in this range, somewhere in the order of 8. 4 billion years.

In so far as i know, it is the only ancient religious tradition MODELS on the Earth which covers the right time-scale. We should get throughout the concept of the right time-scale, and to show that it's maybe not unnatural. In the West, folks have the sense that what is natural is for the universe to be a few thousand years old, and that billions is indwelling, no one can comprehend it. The Hindu concept is quite clear. Here is a great world culture which has always mentioned huge amounts of years. Finally, the countless billion year time-scale of Hindu cosmology just isn't the entire history of the universe, but just the afternoon and night of Brahma, and there is the thought of an infinite cycle of births and deaths and thousands of universes, each having its own gods. And also this is just a very grand idea. "

Not merely Carl Sagan, Fritjof Capra the famous scientist also admired Nataraja.
