In order to understand the mysteries of Universe you have to turn to Nataraja, The King of dance says Carl Sagan, the planet renowned astronomer. That he was the pinnacle of the Department of Astronomy, dance Cornel University. The famous 13 hour T. V serial, Cosmos: an individual Voyage was viewed by around ten million viewers in January 1982. He said that "The Hindu cosmology might contain the answer to the modern day astronomers' conflicting views that the universe might either be expanding or contracting. " "If the universe is expanding as per the 'Big Bang' model of Fred Hoyle and Able Le Maitre, then what happens 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 now being pulled back to a centre of creation, where do they all go? " To find out the clear answer because of this question that 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 model of Shiva, he said, 'The answer lies in 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 that he added: This symbolizes destruction of what has been created. " He was wonderstruck on once you understand the wonderful aspect of Hindu cosmology. Why he's plumped for India for Cosmos: your own Voyage? He explained it very clearly:

"The main reason that we oriented this episode of COSMOS towards India is because of that wonderful aspect of Hindu cosmology which to begin with gives a time-scale for the Earth and the universe -- a time-scale which can be consonant with that of modern scientific cosmology. We know that the Earth is all about 4. 6 billion years old, and the cosmos, or at the very least its present incarnation, is something like 10 or 20 billion years old. The Hindu tradition has a day and night of Brahma in this range, somewhere around 8. 4 billion years.

As much as i know, it is the only ancient religious tradition MODELS on the Earth which talks about the right time-scale. You want to get across the notion of the right time-scale, and to show that it is not unnatural. In the West, people have the sense that what is natural is for the universe to be a few thousand years old, and that billions is indwelling, no you can understand it. The Hindu concept is quite clear. Here is a great world culture which has always discussed billions of years. Finally, the numerous billion year time-scale of Hindu cosmology is not the whole history of the universe, but just your day and night of Brahma, and there is the notion of an infinite cycle of births and deaths and thousands of universes, each with its own gods. Which is a very grand idea. "

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