Understanding Hindu Cosmology: The Cycles of the Universe
This video delves into the intricate connections between cosmology, religion, and science within Hinduism, presenting a comprehensive understanding of the universe and humanity's spiritual journey. Here are the three main points:

Hindu cosmology envisions the universe as continuously created and destroyed in infinite cycles. These cycles are defined by periods known as yugas (Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dvapara Yuga, and Kali Yuga), each representing different levels of spiritual consciousness and social order.
This cyclical concept emphasizes the belief that the universe is in a constant state of transformation, with each phase bearing the imprint of its predecessor.

Central to Hindu cosmology is the concept of Brahman, the source of all existence and the ultimate reality of the universe. Brahman embodies fundamental truth and supreme reality, forming the deep metaphysical and philosophical underpinnings of Hinduism.
The different manifestations of Brahman—Brahma (the creator), Vishnu (the preserver), and Shiva (the destroyer)—symbolize the cyclical nature and constant change of the universe.

Hindu cosmology distinguishes between the spiritual and material realms, a distinction that forms one of the core philosophical foundations of Hindu thought.
The material realm represents the physical world, bounded by time and space, where the cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth (samsara) dominates, shaped by the law of karma. In contrast, the spiritual realm is seen as an infinite and timeless reality, the abode of absolute peace, happiness, and wisdom.
