Time Travel: A Concept Explained in Indian Hindu ScripturesYou all must have heard this term time and again. Time travel was and is discussed time and again by all the great minds like Einstein & Hawkins in last century. This is not something new you have come across. Conspiracy theories & Aliens stories, all have concept of Time Travel discussed at length and obviously it’s nothing new to learn or hear. People have claimed to experience Time Travel or Time jump and their testimonials you can find on web in multiple sites. But will discuss something totally out of the context stuff regarding Times Travel. All hypothetical but what if it was to be true.
We are today, equipped with modern technology and are much more organized and faster in completing any task. We have leisure and pleasure in day to day life due to technological advancements. Now we are thinking of developing a machinery or technology which one day could let us travel ahead or behind in Time. Although, there have been many speculations that such technology already exists and Aliens from other planets have helped us build such Time Machine and we have been strangely using it as well to alter the future. But these are mere theories and no concrete proof is there, yet.
What if I say that such technology existed thousands of years back? What if I say Hindu scriptures and texts contain such evidence that Humans were capable of Time Travel? Yes, probably you won’t believe but this could be true till some extent.
The Story of King Kakudmi and his daughter is very famous. Kakudmi was a king in Satyug. (Sat Yug, Treta Yug, Dwapar Yug & Kal Yug – Four Yugs or four era’s defined and mentioned in Hindu Religion. All four together are called Chatur yug). Right now, according to it we are living in Kalyug. In Sat Yug, people had mystical powers. They were much more accomplished as compared to humans now. They were physically much more powerful compared to now, possessed higher level of intellect and IQ. All in all, evolved mystically to travel interstellar as well. Yes, right, interstellar travel. Swarg Log (place above in the clouds), Patal lok (place below the ground), & Bhu lok (Earth), three places well known by people of that era or yug. The people at that time had ability to travel on any of these three places. Now we think its all mythology because we don’t possess such powers to travel on our own to such places and also, we don’t believe any more that these places exist. In short, if we don’t understand something or get something, we render it either fake or not worth talking.
Coming back to the story of the king Kakudmi. He had a pulchritudinous daughter, Revati, whom he did not find any suitable match worthy for marriage. He believed no man is worthy enough to be her husband. So, he decided to travel to Brahm lok to meet God Brahma. (Shiva, Vishnu & Brahma – trinity or trimurti of life in Hinduism. Shiva is Destroyer; Brahma is creator of Universe & Vishnu is preserver. All three work together to create, preserve and destroy to create again the Universe and let the cycle of life churn.) Once he reaches Brahm lok which was very far away from Earth, could be concluded as Inter stellar travel. God Brahma was resting when King Kakudmi reached at his place, so they waited for some time.
Later they finally got chance to meet God Brahma. The King told him that he is not able to choose groom for his daughter. There are few boys he has selected but he isn’t able to decide whom to choose. He asked for help from God Brahma in choosing a suitable match for his daughter. God Brahma laughed and told him that do you know how much time has passed on Earth since they arrived in Brahm lok. He told the King that the boys he chose to marry his daughter are no more alive and neither are alive any of the those he knew from that time as 27 Chatur Yug’s (Thousands & Thousands of years) have passed. (1 day in Brahm Lok is equivalent to 4.32 billion Earth years – Sahastra Yug Ahariyad Bhramonvida).
He told the king that your kingdom and all its treasures have swept away from the hands of time. When they came back on earth, they saw that mankind has evolved to become less mystic and landscape has changed drastically. Thereafter, God Brahma on recommendation of God Vishnu asked him to marry his daughter Revati to Vishnu’s reincarnated avatar, God Krishna’s Brother Balram. We can firstly conclude from this that God Brahma resides at a place which has no effect of gravity and time. Secondly, we can conclude that the king and his daughter travelled ahead in time to meet God Brahma. And thirdly that they made an interstellar travel as it took such a huge time to reach to such a place.
We have innumerable instances of time travel (like Draupadi cheer haran episode where God Krishna saved her from getting naked), interstellar travel, use of nuclear bombs (known as Bharmastra), in our Hindu Vedas, scriptures and many more things. We are yet to recognize all these important evidences lying before our eyes. We need to embrace our rich cultural heritage.
