In order to understand the mysteries of Universe one has to turn to Nataraja, The King of dance says Carl Sagan, the planet renowned astronomer. He was the pinnacle of the Department of Astronomy, dance Cornel University. The famous 13 hour T. V serial, Cosmos: your own Voyage was viewed by approximately ten million viewers in January 1982. He said that "The Hindu cosmology might contain the answer to the current day astronomers' conflicting views that the universe may either be expanding or contracting. " "If the universe is expanding as per the 'Big Bang' type of Fred Hoyle and Able Le Maitre, then what are the results to the stars that expand, explode and died? Off, as 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 they all go? " To discover the answer with this question he traveled to India. He found the solution in Nataraja, the Hindu God worshipped by millions of Hindus. Pointing to the statue of Nataraja, the ACTING style 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 person. " Pointing to the fire in the other hand 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 opted for India for Cosmos: an individual Voyage? That he explained it very obviously:

"The major reason that individuals oriented this episode of COSMOS towards India is because of that wonderful facet of Hindu cosmology which to begin with provides a time-scale for the Earth and the universe -- a time-scale which is consonant with that of modern scientific cosmology. We all know that the Earth is approximately 4. 6 billion years old, and the cosmos, or at the least its present incarnation, is something like 10 or 20 billion years of age. The Hindu tradition has a day and night of Brahma in this range, somewhere in the region of 8. 4 billion years.

As much as i know, it's the only ancient religious tradition MODELS on the Earth which talks about the proper time-scale. You want to get throughout the notion of the best time-scale, also to show that it is not unnatural. In the West, people have the sense that what exactly is natural is for the universe to become a few thousand years old, and that billions is indwelling, with no one can understand it. The Hindu concept is very clear. Here is a great world culture which has always discussed billions of years. Finally, the many billion year time-scale of Hindu cosmology is not the entire history of the universe, but just your day and night of Brahma, and there is the thought of an infinite cycle of births and deaths and an infinite number of universes, each with its own gods. And also this is really a very grand idea. "

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