CREATION OF UNIVERSE: A STUDY OF VEDIC CONCEPT

Abstract

The principal of cause and effect finds a privileged place in the Vedas. The Vedas recognize the fact that creation out of nothing is an impossibility. Science has also arrived at the same conclusion that matter can neither be created or destroyed. It is immaterial whether science succeeds in ascertaining the exact nature of fundamental particles or not, but the truth remains that whatever be the form of ultimate physical existence is a reality which cannot be denied. the Vedic theory comprehends the existence of an eternal material cause governed by the omniscient lord. In the 4^th Ṛk of the same hymn a question has been posed which further light on the nature of the initial cause. Vedas have explored this most fascinating aspect of our existence and have propounded a comprehensive concept on its creation.
