Cosmological Aspects in Scriptures limited to Vedas Puranas and Yoga Vasishta

Abstract

This doctoral work investigates a topic that offers a platform of convergence for scholars from various domains to explore answers to some of our fundamental questions on the cosmos. Such considerations were once notional and part of cultural history under the guise of creation myths, philosophical ruminations, and literary chronicles. However, in the last hundred and fifty years, many profound cosmic inquiries have evolved into full-fledged scientific pursuits. Unarguably, such a fascinating and grandeur topic has attracted numerous authors from different backgrounds with many publications. Nevertheless, there is still a prospect for re-contextualizing this transition of cosmological visions from mythical and speculative narrations to empirical studies through an analytical reinterpretation of scriptures. newline
