So, how was this the big ball of possibilities that has provided for us since time immemorable, created in the first place? Before we plunge into the deep waters to start looking for life, let us talk a little about how our planet came into existence, and proved to be exactingly conducive for life to even perpetuate! Yes, it is the emergence of life we are talking about, on the very planet which we now call home: Earth. All of us have surely wondered about the story behind one of the greatest phenomenon we’ve ever witnessed. But some billion years ago, in a far-off planet of a far-off galaxy, order was forming from this chaos.
Taking a cue from this amazing hymn, we’ll be talking about ‘waters’, but in a different context! So far, we’ve only seen the chaos that ensued after this Universe formed. As you can see, the brilliant minds of our ancient civilization, somehow were able to decipher the secrets of the Universe way before any of our grandfather’s-grandfather’s-grandfather’s-grandfather’s grandfather arrived on this planet! A very interesting line from the aforementioned shloka speaks of the nonexistence of the “cosmic waters”, which pervaded the Universe after the Big Bang. Up until this point, we have discussed as to how the Universe as we know it, came into existence. This beautiful shloka is the translation of the Nasadiya Sukta, a hymn from the Rig Veda.
