Hindu cosmology is a branch of different types of doctrines concluded on the subject of “Cosmic Creation”, here the word Manifestation is more appropriate instead of “Creation”. First of all we need to Understand what is Creation, generally you understand it as an act of causing something new to happen or exist. So it is an Action. Now question rises Action on what ? General answer is Action on some ingredients, substances, components or elements. So, if the Universe is Created, there must be some preexisted components from which the Universe is being Created. Now, question rises again what is the sources of the preexisted components from which the Universe is made of? When almost every religious books are supporting the so called theory of Simple one man Creation, the most ancient philosophy, Hindu Cosmology, coined a term “manifestation”(आविर्भाव, प्रादुर्भाव).
Hindu Cosmology says, the Causes behind
the universe or "karanas" are isolated into two classes:
"Nimitta" and "Upadana".For example You need paper and colours
as the materials to draw a picture. So Colours and paper are the Upadana
Karanas (components Causes) for the Picture. Be that as it may, how can it turned into a picture? Does the colour become a picture without anyone else's input? It must be formed
by a painter. So the painter is the reason he is the Nimitta Karana. Hinduism accepts that Isvara/ Supreme
divine consciousness made the universe with a definitive particles called
"anu-s" (Unique Cosmic Particle, that rests between existence and non
existence, because the particles are neither sensible by five human senses nor
by any other sensors, but the particles together formed the Universe which can
be observed or sensed relatively). Here Isvara or God is the
Nimitta-karana and the "Anu-s" (Unique Cosmic Particle) are the Upadana-karana.
Simultaneously, Hindu Cosmology ignores
the question on the source of Upadana Karana (Cause of Components) confirming
that the both Causes / Karanas ("Nimitta" and "Upadana")
are same and identical. For an example, it means, an intelligence of Colour
painted a painting on the paper of its own colours.
"Sat" that which exists in
reality and "asat" that which does have existence . There is no
picture in mere colour and paper. The non-existent picture is produced from the
colour and paper. It is in same way that Supreme divine consciousness
manifested the universe with the "anu-s", where the Eternal supreme
Consciousness itself exfoliated into the “Anu-s” (Upadan Karana)
In Hinduism you can’t find identical
God that governs the universe like a one man king.
Prakriti and Purusha are the two distinct parts of Nirguna Brahman, (nirguna in the sense of which is beyond of any kind of properties, Brahman= Eternal supreme Consciousness ) known as Isvara. Prakriti and Purusha take part, direct and actualize the widespread innovative procedure of Universe. Prakriti implies what is found in its regular, unaltered structure. Prakriti regulates the formation of Universe with its pure energy.

Prakriti and Purusha are the two distinct parts of Nirguna Brahman, (nirguna in the sense of which is beyond of any kind of properties, Brahman= Eternal supreme Consciousness ) known as Isvara. Prakriti and Purusha take part, direct and actualize the widespread innovative procedure of Universe. Prakriti implies what is found in its regular, unaltered structure. Prakriti regulates the formation of Universe with its pure energy.
Brahman or the supreme consciousness that gets under way the whole innovative
procedure with the assistance of His two cosmic roles. Both Purusha and
Prakriti are eternal reality of the cosmic manifestation. The presence of
Purusha is the indirect cause of the Prakrti itself peeled into the universe. Purusha
doesn’t have any direct involvement in the manifestation of the universe, but
receiving the potential energy from him Pakriti manifests itself into infinite
forms of matters and energies. Such a conviction isn't to be confused with the
contemporary atheistic view.
For example, a fire can illuminate a
dark room, the same fire can boil water, and can turn an ice block in to liquid
water. Does the fire worry about which room is to be illuminated or which
jungle is to be burnt up? The fire has no intension to evaporate water, or
illuminate dark chamber. It is the light
and temperature difference between the fire and heat consuming object for which
the object receives the energy from the fire and react according to its dharma/ physical
or chemical property. Similarly, Purusha doesn’t have any
direct role to form the Universe, but it is the Prakriti that receives the
potential energy from Purusha to manifests itself into form of Universe.
Understanding Reality with Object and Observer:
The Globular cluster that exists
billions of light years away from Earth, have no reality without a spectator
with healthy sensory system. Everything that makes Globular cluster real needs an observer. If no one existed to
experience light, temperature, mass, and colours of the Globular cluster, it could not be real as we know it.
The reality and Existence require a reference. Suppose, in US
here we can feel the heat of the Sun, but in same time in India people can see
the moon with thousands of stars in dark sky. So, in same time reality splits
into two opposite Truths, one is Day and other is night.
Can anyone say, which is
absolute truth with the respect of Earth, Day or Night? Now when you observe the solar objects being
out of the Earth, you will neither experience day not night. So, this is how
Truth or reality depends on spectators, who can senses the effects of the
incident through Conscious mind. In simple sentence Object has no existence
without observer.
Participatory Universe:
American quantum physicist
John Archibald Wheeler speculated that reality is created by observers in the
universe. He coined the term "Participatory Anthropic
Principle" which generally known as "participatory
universe," according to which, the
observer and the thing observed are one. You are one with the universe because
you experience Nature in your consciousness. “Are life and mind
irrelevant to the structure of the Universe, or are they central to it?” - these questions embarrassed Wheeler.

Who can answer. Deepak Chopra, MD, FACP, founder of The Chopra Foundation, wrote in his article, “WHY
YOU AND THE UNIVERSE ARE ONE “ , “The brain has essentially
zero light inside it, being a dark mass of oatmeal-textured cells enveloped in
a fluid that is somehow similar to sea water. (There are extremely faint traces
of photon activity in the brain, but the optic nerve doesn't transmit photons
to the visual cortex.). Because there is no light to speak off in the brain, there are no pictures or
images, either. When you imagine the face of a loved one, no where in the brain
does that face exist like a photograph. How do action potentials in neuron
electric firings become conscious awareness, no one knows.”Ten thousands years old, one of the oldest Upanishads, Chandogya Upanishad which is a Sanskrit text embedded
in the Chandogya Brahmana of the Sama Veda of Hinduism revealed
the secret of Cosmology.
"तत्त्वमस- यादिवाक्य- न स्वात्मा हि प्रतिपादित।
नेति नेति श्रुतिर्ब्- रूयादनृतं "
- Avadhuta Gita, it is written: (Chapter 1 / Verse 25)
नेति नेति श्रुतिर्ब्- रूयादनृतं "
- Avadhuta Gita, it is written: (Chapter 1 / Verse 25)
The literal meaning of the sentence in simple words that The origin of Universe and you are not distinct at all , the origin of all Universes (Brahman is the primordial cause of this universe.) is within you and you are the entire universe. Brahman which is the common Reality behind everything in the cosmos is the same as the essential divinity, namely the Atman within us. The realization of this arises only by an intuitive experience and is totally different from any objective experience. It cannot be inferred from some other bit of knowledge. The Brahman and Atman are the same is the content of the statement 'Tat tvam asi'.
