Bhagavad Gita is one of the holy books of the Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism). Bhagavad Gita means songs of the lord. The lord took birth in the world and gave these verses for the enlightenment of the mankind.
What does Bhagavad Gita has in connection with the origin of universe?
The big bang theory states that at some time in the distant past there was nothing. A process known as vacuum fluctuation created what astrophysicists call a singularity. From that singularity, which was about the size of a dime, our Universe was born.
According to the standard big bang theories, the initial condition of the universe was a point of infinitesimal circumference and infinite density and temperature. An initial condition such as this is beyond mathematical description. Nothing can be said about it. All calculations go haywire. It's like trying to divide a number by 0--what do you get? 1? ... 5? ... 5 trillion? ... ??? It's impossible to say. Technically, such a phenomenon is called a "singularity."
Now, the lord has said,
"..At the beginning of BrahmÄ's day, all living entities become manifest from the unmanifest state..."
The singularity defined in the big bang is the ummanifested state. The state of singularity is beyond mathematical description. That is why, some scientists oppose Big Bang theory, stating how can infinite amount of matter and energy could have exploded from a point that is indescribable.
But, they need to know that, there are many things that are beyond human rationalism. Human mind is not the limit and the product of human mind without an inner look could not be used understand this nature and its laws. Limiting the theories based on the such tools will lead the western science to nowhere.
