Our Lord rules the modern world and science also. Black Hole is a big zero and some thing black hole and its proposed counterpart "worm-hole" could be the source of all material. Scientists ask the question what happens to the material consumed by a black hole. The theory is that outside the realm of this universe there is another universe and the material goes into this. Carl Sagan salutes hindu seers for their vision of multiple universe etc.. Similarly the Big Bang before which time and nothing existed is also a cosmic concept. Understandign Big Bang is like playing Purusha Sukta in front of your eyes. Big Bang says that which was nothing, imperceptible sprang forth in all directions and the material was itself. There was no other material. material cause is also this. Our Narayana is seated within us and is very close to us unfortunately we are not equipped to enjoy HIM. I am told that a new born can hear mom's footsteps but over time we cannot hear someone talking to us. Such is our propensity. it is no wonder. --- "M.K.
