In order to comprehend the mysteries of Universe one has to turn to Nataraja, The King of dance says Carl Sagan, the entire 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. He said that "The Hindu cosmology might contain the answer to the present day day astronomers' conflicting views that the universe might either be expanding or contracting. " "If the universe is expanding as per the 'Big Bang' style 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 being pulled back once again to a centre of creation, where do each of them go? " To find out the clear answer with this question that he traveled to India. That he found the clear answer in Nataraja, the Hindu God worshipped by countless Hindus. Pointing to the statue of Nataraja, the ACTING model of Shiva, he said, 'The answer is based on 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. " That he was wonderstruck on once you know the wonderful aspect of Hindu cosmology. Why he has plumped for India for Cosmos: your own Voyage? He explained it very plainly:

"The main reason that people oriented this episode of COSMOS towards India is because of that wonderful aspect of Hindu cosmology which first of all provides time-scale for the Earth and the universe -- a time-scale which will be consonant with that of modern scientific cosmology. We know that the Earth is about 4. 6 billion years old, and the cosmos, or at the least its present incarnation, is something like 10 or 20 billion years old. The Hindu tradition includes a almost all the time of Brahma in this range, somewhere approximately 8. 4 billion years.

As much as i know, it is the only ancient religious tradition MODELS on the Earth which discusses the right time-scale. We should get across the notion of the best time-scale, and to show that it is not unnatural. In the West, people have the sense that what exactly is natural is for the universe to be a few thousand years old, and that billions is indwelling, with no you can understand it. The Hindu concept is very clear. This is a great world culture which has always talked about huge amounts of years. Finally, the numerous billion year time-scale of Hindu cosmology is not the whole history of the universe, but just the day and night of Brahma, and there is the idea of an infinite cycle of births and deaths and an infinite number of universes, each with its own gods. And also this is a very grand idea. "

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