Some segments of the Veda acknowledged as science are expected to be brought out shortly as a book titled “Vedic Cosmogony” and a small excerpt (RV 10.149) could be downloaded from here.

It is believed that some of the hymns of the Rgveda described our universe and the PuruSasUktam (RV10.90), NAsadIyasUktam (RV10.129) etc. were cited as examples. The AsyavAmIyasUktam (RV1.164) was generally believed to contain statements on astronomy. Perhaps the list was not this small and several hymns could be narrations of the birth and existence of the universe.

It appeared that the Vedic sages had deep knowledge of the nature of the universe and viewed what occurred as the very first of creations from various angles, such as the divine, the material, the biological and the intellectual perspectives. The physics and cosmology of the universe appeared to be their favorite subject. They also found that these thoughts could not be disassociated from the geometry of the universe. Perhaps it would be correct to imagine that the YajNa was graphic expositions in aid of their poetic descriptions as well, in addition to being the divine aspects of faith and rituals.

We could now assess that a search made more than 5000 years ago for the identity of a Supreme Divinity and the inevitable presence of lesser divine entities and phenomena ended up in an enquiry of the physics of the universe, its birth, existence and dissolution. This search brought out both the concept of God and the birth of the universe in vivid details and as ever so beautiful a poetry. Those became the Physics and Cosmology of the universe.
