Jul 6, 2008 - "Without doubt by accident ??" Yes of course for ethnocentric western...After Hindu cosmology, 155 Trillion years have elapsed since the Big Bang or Brahma's Brith...!!! We are only in the 51th year of Brahma's life..!! 49 Brahma years remaining until the birth of the next universe or Brahma !!

Jul 6, 2008 - Man, carl sagans. Great video, pure spiritual religion and philosophy I think. As west says: Science is merging with eastern religions. People will feel it later I guess, I don't know I want to talk to CArl

Jul 6, 2008 - So much wrong Info about Hinduism here: Its NOT POLYTHEISTIC. The so many gods are demigods or devta, they are not the one bhagavaan.Read bhagvatam, you'll know all cosmic truths as they are in scriptures. (Canto 3 last few chapters)

Jul 6, 2008 - "no doubt by accident"? Stupid anglo think indians are too savage to know cosmology long before whites ever did. Colonialist pig, he & his ilk will fall by Durga's sword.

Jul 6, 2008 - hinduism is the truth of the universe, hinduism tells us that u should not get to attached to material objects, not even ur physical body.

Jul 6, 2008 - it is amazing that people of 5000 years ago can come out with such accurate theory of our universe,even though it's more of a philosphy.this is so much intersting then genesis.

Jul 6, 2008 - Hasn't Buddhism derived most of its thoughts from Hinduism? Siddhartha was born a Hindu and learnt from Brahmins and Rishis..So the mother religion would be Sanatana Dharma(The name Hinduism is a western invention).

Jul 6, 2008 - Buddhism comes from the Vedas.

Jul 6, 2008 - MR Sagan perhaps meant to say that the finding was not a result of a research project of the type he and others understands [laboratory, observatory, telescope, multidisciplinary team of scientists,..]but due to serendipity, a term, in vogue for the past few decades, which not all in the audience might understand.Thus Sagan may not be under-estimating Hindu seers' discovery of this Brahma age of an ever expanding universe. But his mindset is narrowly defined with the (warring) modern scientists.

Jul 6, 2008 - For religious contepts search on google "Swami ramsukhdasji books"Documents present in English and all Indian langauge
paulkrist44 Says:
Jul 6, 2008 - It is only by an accident - without substantiation - that Carl Sagan says the ancient Hindu scriptures [citing Rishis/Superhuman seers, of an immemorial past] have come out with figures of the repeating age of our cosmos that are cose to today's estimates derived in science using 4 dimensional maths. [3 for space + one for time].Sagan's unwitting eulogizing of Hindu seers' discovery is left-handed due to this misuse of 'accident' in this video on Hindu cosmology using temple depictions.

Jul 6, 2008 - isnt Budism a branch of Hinduism??
ishita04desidiva Says:
Jul 6, 2008 - Buddhism is all part of Hinduism and it was created out of it just eliminating some aspects of it like the caste system and many gods(its apprently one, just multiple manifestations of the ultimate =)

Jul 6, 2008 - I had a lot of respect for this guy. But within the first 10 seconds, I lost all of it.what the hell does he mean "no doubt by accident"????
MrSigma Says:
Jul 6, 2008 - Buddhism came out of Hinduism. It is a pardigm shift from Advaita Vedanta one of the 6 forms of Vedanta.
saffronix Says:
Jul 6, 2008 - Definitely a part of Sagan's 13 part "Cosmos" series. He did an amazing job of popularizing science without talking down to the public, as previous attempts to do the same had been.

Jul 6, 2008 - There is only one God. We just worship God by various methods. God is like the big blue ocean, all religions and beliefs are like rivers and streams. Humankind is the drop of water. It doesn't matter which river or stream you take, as long as you walk in faith and live in truth. It is what is in your heart that matters. Look with your heart and not with your eyes. God lives in us and all around us. God is in everything that is living. Peace and Love to all who reads this message.

Jul 6, 2008 - Hinduism is the world's oldest religion with the oldest scriptures. It is the root of all other religions that came later. No human founder known like in other religions. That is because God is the founder. Vedic scripture is the beginning of everything. First medicine "ayurveda" and endless knowledge. Before any other India is the holy land. Sanatana Dharma, or eternal religion. God is one, but in many unlimited forms and aspects at the same time.
