The Reality of Siddhas The Siddha philosophy considers the basis for all reality to be the primordial energy that pervades the universe and beyond! By primordial energy, they mean the energy that forms the base for the formation of matter which ultimately resulted in the evolution of ‘life’ and ‘consciousness.’ It is the very energy …

“What is life?” The question that persists in the mind of every human being, right from the time of their birth, until the moment of death, with the answer remaining elusive. We had seen in the previous chapter how life evolved on our planet with man as the result and the bases for all life …
With the afore questions and their answers searched for by the sciences, a few other questions cross our minds too. The mass-energy equivalence equation of Einstein, E = mc 2, forming the base for the very existence of the universe, explains the formation of mass from the energy. The sciences are very concerned about the …
To begin with, where did the singularity, which exploded to form the universe, come from? How long was the singularity hovering in an unimaginable space? If ‘time’ began with the Big Bang, and space non-existent before the event, can the above question be put in perspective? Was the formation of the singularity and its explosion …

In the early years of collective human existence, observation of events required the usage of people’s senses to analyse the events and the underlying order behind them. Developments in the fields of astronomy, medicinal sciences, mathematics, etc., were appreciable and intercultural contacts between people enabled collective growth of humans as a species. But, however broad …
Although Homo sapiens started thinking from more than 150,000 years ago, the recorded history of the species is too low – only for the past 10,000 years. Even so, the intellectual growth of humankind as a species is confined to an even smaller period, the past 4000 years only! It was during the past 4 …
The evolution of Homo sapiens was not an easy process, but rather a long sequence of divisions within the species, with one of the divisions dying out and the other evolving into a different family group, but the common factor between the human evolution and any other organism’s evolution process was that the process involved …
Fossils In the fifth extinction event we saw the death of dinosaurs around 65 million years ago; quite recently we might say, considering the long history of the existence of life on Earth. Our usual view of history involves a picture of different types of dinosaurs roaming about the surface of Earth and the famed …
Water on Earth! The implication of the afore developments was that the planet, which started out as a ball of gases and elemental rocks, had stabilised to form a round, rocky body surrounded by gases and steam. With the emergence of steam that accumulated above Earth’s surface gradually, water was set to be available in …
