INTRODUCTION Scripture of 5000 years old, it is understood that lot of science was described, there in and was relevant to our Bhagavad Gita is an ancient Hindu scripture which consists lives. Appears to be that Lord Krishna is a great scientist and variety of knowledge, that explains extensively, a lot on as per him, himself creates this whole Universe, which consists various aspects, useful to the mankind at every context of life. of all moving and non-moving beings. As per him, the nature is The ancient scriptures described many aspects and when we the mother of all living beings and He is the father, saying that corelate, for some, we could justify with scientific explanations he provides the seed. Few of the verses of Bhagavad Gita and for some we could not reach to that level of understanding are discussed here in for scientific exploration of few because of the lack of knowledge perhaps. Many of those aspects. scriptures explained there in, are scientifically acceptable Today, though they were described with deep philosophical Synthesis of Living beings, Food & Medicine and with spiritual significances. In fact, the element, Carbon, Lord Krishna said that, “for all embodied beings, those appear Known since ancient times. But, it was first recognized as an in all the species, the “Prakriti” that is nature, is the mother and element in the second half of the 18th century by Lavoisier. In I am the father as I provide the seed”. In this way, all the living recent centuries, Scientists developed even technology for beings are created. Krishna knows, how to cultivate and make nuclear weapons. More of scientific developments took the food, needed for all living beings for their survival of life. place in last few centuries. However, the ancient He says that “I enter into the soil and support to all beings by scriptures are evident, that, most of the knowledge was my vital energy. I only become the moon and thereby nourish available, in those days. Described about various weapons in all plants and to supply the juice of life to all”. As per science, Mahabharata for creation of fire or for showering water or for we know that fertile lands only can provide the food and as per making others to unconscious in the Kurukshetra war, which this Shloka, it explains that he is making the lands fertile, was happened, 5000 years back as per the literature. Even, it is suitable for cultivation. Also explained, how he provides the discussed many millenniums before that in Treta Yuga, when vital energy and moon light to synthesize the medicine in Lord Rama was fighting with Ravana, the cruel opponent. plants, needed for treatment of variety of diseases. We know However, this knowledge is perhaps missed-out over the that, for the growth of plants and for the synthesis of time.When, explored and analyzed“Bhagavad Gita”, the Chlorophyll, the fertile soil, minerals, water and light rays *Corresponding author: Dr. Dantu Muralikrishna Senior General Manager, Lupin Limited, Mandideep, Dist.

Krishna explained that, he provides the required End of Universe elements for their synthesis in all of them. Scientifically, he Scientists talk about the “Heat death of Universe” which can be was explaining that, how rains, he creates. He evaporates the explained based on the theory of randomness that is entropy. water of seas and makes the clouds and creates the rains. This is similar to the Pralaya, which is explained in the verse Interestingly, Lord Krishna knows, how to digest all kinds of 9.7 of Bhagavad Gita, by Krishna about the final dissolution of foods or liquids, we eat every day. He says about the chemical this whole universe. Scientifically, it is explained based on 2nd mechanism and how he is acting in the process of digestion of law of thermodynamics. The entropy of an object is a measure all kinds of food, we eat. Krishna explained that “in the body of of the amount of energy which is unavailable to do the work. all living entities, I am in the form of fire, called as The higher is the entropy, the less energy is available in the “Vaishvanara” united with the air of life, out-going and system to do the work. When the system is reached to incoming during exhalation and inhalation of breath and digest equilibrium, the entropy reaches maximum value, then the the food of four kinds such as drinks, chewers, suckers and system is unable to do the work. In brief, entropy can be lickers”. This entire knowledge which consists of lot of explained as a measure of uncertainty or randomness. The science, he described in the below verses of Bhagavad Gita. theory is that although the net amount of energy does not sarvayonishu kountheya moorthayha sambhavamthi yaha। change, the amount of unusable energy is increasing over time until at some point all available energy in the system is thsaam brahma mahadyonihi aham beejapradha pitha (14.4) ।। unusable.

The theory suggests the universe pushnami choushadheeha sarvaha somo bhootvaa rasathmakaha।। would evolve to a state of no thermodynamic free energy and (15.13) would therefore be unable to sustain processes that increase entropy. That means, the universe reaches thermodynamic thapaamyahamaham varsham nigruhnaamyuthsrujaami cha। equilibrium, where maximum entropy. According to this, the amrutham chiva mruthyuscha sadaschhhamarjuna।। (9.19) universe is slowly moving towards a state when all the stars aham vaishvanaro bhootvaa praaninam dehamashrithaha। and galaxies will have dissipated their energy in the form of heat and radiation and the whole universe will attain one pranapaanasamaayukthaha pachamyannam chathrvidham।। (15.14) uniform temperature. Thisis very similar to the Hindu concept Creation of Universe of pralaya or dissolution of the universe. At this state, all system and order in the universe have vanished, and then Lord Krishna was telling to Arjuna that –“Under my randomness is at its maximum, and entropy cannot be leadership, the nature brings forth the whole creation, increased. As per Bhagavad Gita, in the battle field of consisting of all moving and non-moving beings. Under this Kurukshetra, Lord Krishna enlightened Arjuna showing his rule, the whole manifestation is created and annihilated again manifold, multifarious of thousands and hundreds various and again”.Also said that, “at the time of final dissolution, all colours& shapes of his existence. Arjuna had visualized and beings enter into my nature and at the beginning of my felt afraid by seeing the entire universe in the body of Lord creation, I create them again”. This is explained by Krishna in Krishna(11.19 & 11.25),and also by seeing the kind of the below verses of Bhagavad Gita. universal destructions in Lord Krishna. In these verses, Arjuna bhoomiraponalo vayuhu kham mano budhireva cha expressed to Krishna as “I see you without origin, middle or Ahamkara itheeyam me bhinna prakrithirishtadha (7.4) end. Your glory is unlimited. I see you with unlimited number of arms, having the Sun and Moon as your eyes.
