Big bang theory is the most widely accepted scientific theory about

how our universe emerged 13.7 billion years ago. Though there is not

much of empirical evidence about this theory yet, except for

mathematical derivations, it is most likely to be true. This theory

was propounded in the late 1940s and refined in the past few decades.

But what is amazing is that there are seemingly similar descriptions

of the origins of the universe, in the more than 5000-year-old Vedas.

– the most ancient scriptures of India. In this talk, I will

briefly touch upon one such description.
