The prime evolution of all beings from plants to trees, humans to animals, insects to reptiles and birds to fishes came into existence from consciousness. The divine consciousness produced millions of species in this large bio-diversity. Every positive evolution of the consciousness produced all the goodness in the world and filled the space with positive energy. Thus there exists a positive conscious plane where all species dwell in peace and harmony with at most respect & love and care for each other. In the very beginning, darkness prevailed all around. There was no matter of any kind, not even light in the entire horizon but only dark silence that spread across the millions of space. What could be the possible origin of evolution when there is no consciousness? The consciousness! It was that element that produced the light of intelligence which was the beginning of creation of everything in this Universe. This miraculous thought of intelligence which became the prime reason for the evolution of Universe is called as “Consciousness” or “Jyothi”. The consciousness continued to evolve to become the substance of nature. The consciousness gained so much power that it produced the very first matter of the Universe – atom. The atoms continued to evolve and spread across the Universe randomly. These atoms collided each other with heavy forces that it produced sparks at high temperature. Thus the Universe almost 1 Sample Copy. Not For Distribution. Gowri resembled like a sparkling sky where sparks were produced at each and every moment. As the collision further increased, the temperature and pressure increased to enormous amount that led to a great explosion which produced immense light with thunder that travelled to infinity. The consciousness which produced the light and thunder continued to evolve as the light faded away in the farthest horizons. This was followed by the combination of atoms. Two or more atoms combined to form a new element with the release of enormous heat, light and sound. Thus every combination produced different elements which became the building blocks of the Universe. The matter thus formed sustained in the vast space. This matter evolved to form the planetary objects that travelled, revolved and rotated on its own axis. These planetary objects formed the base for the evolution of life. The fusion of atoms resulted in the formation of billions of stars in the space that cluttered to form millions of galaxies. The consciousness continued to evolve to form the Solar System with Sun at its center and planet earth formed the habitable zone for evolution of life. The consciousness continued to evolve and the gases in the peripheral zone of earth formed the atmosphere. The ozone layer composed of the ions are capable of absorbing the maximum heat radiations of Sun thus making earth more comfortable for a living zone. The atmosphere then raised the massive amount of vapors in the form of clouds which produced waters on the planes that formed the vast ocean. The lower planes were 2 Sample Copy. Not For Distribution. Gowri completely filled with water while the higher planes grew higher forming mountains. The vast chain of mountains was known as The Great Himalayas which was composed in a single continent. The consciousness further formed the green lands in the lower planes of the continent. The consciousness diversified itself into many forms like fishes in the waters, birds in the sky and animals in the land. Thus the entire plane was filled with living beings making it the living place in the Universe. The consciousness continued to evolve in its most dynamic and versatile way to form the ultimate form - the human form. The powerful consciousness thus formed a human form in flesh and blood at its own discretion. He, the creator of everything from stars, sun, moon, planets, earth, plants, trees, fishes, birds, animals and himself; the prime reason for the existence of everything; the one who owns the powerful consciousness came into existence as Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva opened his eyes on the Mount Kailash. He saw everything through his eyes what he has been creating with his powerful consciousness over the time. Lord Shiva with the most powerful consciousness continued in deep meditation. Since the Lord was born out of consciousness and not by any means of birth, He was attributed as GOD. He created another form form his own consciousness and it was Lord Mahavishnu lying in a snake bed - Anantha. Since he was also not born by any means of birth but from powerful consciousness of Lord Shiva, He was also attributed as GOD. Lord Mahavishnu was also blessed with all the 3 Sample Copy. Not For Distribution. Gowri knowledge and consciousness of Lord Shiva. Lord Mahavishnu also continued in deep meditation and from his navel aroused Lord Brahma sitting on a White Lotus, the third of its kind. He was also attributed as GOD since he was also born out of consciousness. All the three Gods shared equal powers and knowledge but performed different functions to preserve the sanctity of the world to eternity. The eternal three Gods known as Trimurtis or Trinity controlled the Universe from end to end. Lord Brahma was the Creator who created the human beings further. Lord Mahavishnu was the Protector who protected the human beings while Lord Shiva was the Destroyer who destroyed the evils that were a threat to human beings. Lord Shiva accepted Goddess Parvati as His consort, Lord Mahavishnu accepted Goddess Lakshmi as His consort and Lord Brahma creates his own consort Goddess Saraswati from his own consciousness. Since Lord Shiva was the primeval God, he came into being known as Supreme God who is the God of all Gods and Goddesses or “Devon ka Dev - Mahadev” Lord Brahma created the Devas or Gods from the light while the Asuras or Demons were born out of the darkness. Even though there were constant war between Devas and Asuras, the Devas were always preferred as they restored peace and fought for Dharma. The Devas represented the goodness while the Asuras represented the evil. The Devas built goodness around the Universe while the 4 Sample Copy. Not For Distribution. Gowri Asuras destroy the goodness and try to establish evilness. Lord Brahma created the human beings on earth as a reflection of God Himself. The humans were provided the divine knowledge of Brahmand i.e. the ultimate knowledge of a Brahmand. The knowledge was transformed into verses and were dictated orally to the humans. The divine verses helped the humans to open their consciousness and learn all the knowledge of the Universe.
