The Truth of Universe’s Creation According to All Religions

Amazing and unbelievable, How planets rotate perfectly in their orbit? How is Sun a hot moving ball and moon so cool? Who created the sky, the Earth, the Water, the Air and above all human beings/living beings? Is there some Supremely intelligent being? Certainly, the universe was not created by chance. There is definitely some divine power, some supremely powerful person who has created everything. The mystery regarding the creation of the universe (Srishti Rachna) which was hidden till today is now revealed. Since ages (Yugas) it has been the disgrace of mankind that this True Spiritual Knowledge (Tatvagyan) is kept hidden. The devotee society till now was ignorant about the true story of the creation of the universe. Whereas, every holy scripture provides enough evidence as How did the universe begin?

Creation of the universe according to HinduismCreation of the universe according to IslamCreation of the universe according to the Holy BibleCreation of the universe according to Guru Granth SahibCreation of the universe according to Worshipable Supreme God Kabir



How did the Universe Begin?

When for the first time the God-loving souls will read this, they will feel that this is a baseless story. But moving ahead, the sufficient evidences which will be provided from all holy scriptures from all religions like Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Sikhism, Jainism (link pages) and even from the Big Bang theory will bound devotees to believe this to the extent, that they will bite their fingers between their teeth as where till today this authentic nectar-like spiritual knowledge was kept hidden? After reading this elaborate description of creation even an atheist will become curious.

A lot of enduring questions like

How the World was created?What is the age of the Universe?How old is the Universe?How big is the Universe?How was the universe formed?How will the Universe end?

remained unanswered, therefore, huge amount of patience would be required while reading this sacred knowledge which will be useful for your next hundred and one generations. All above such queries are henceforth resolved.

Creation of Universe in Every Religion

All religious spokespersons, spiritual guides, Saints, Gurus, Kazis, Mullahs, Fathers, Acharyas, Shakracharyas, Saints, Mahants, Mandleshwars even scientists have given a lot of theories regarding the creation of the Universe but due to the lack of spiritual knowledge, they could not provide relevant evidence from the Holy Scriptures. They have merely fooled masses by explaining folklore and legends which are their personal opinions. Only True Spiritual Saint Tatvadarshi Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj has been able to provide sufficient evidence from all Religious scriptures regarding the creation of the universe. Let us explore the diverse theories that are proven in Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, and Sikhism.

Creation of Universe According to Hinduism

People following Vaishnavism believe Vishnu created Brahma and ordered him to create further the universe. People following Shaivism believe Lord Shiva is the creator, and Bhagwan/Parmatma/God is formless. Whereas, Vedas prove God is in form. He is not formless. God lives in the immortal abode, the eternal place which is called ‘Satlok’, ‘Sachkhand’. The name of God is KavirDev or Kabir Sahib.

Creation of Universe According to Islam

The followers of Islam believe Allah/Khuda is the creator of the universe and Allah is Bechoon / Formless. Muslims Strongly believe that Quran is a word of God and the knowledge of Quran Sharif / Majid has been given by God. Although the knowledge has been given by God Jibril. References:-

Creation of the universe according to Science / The Big Bang Theory

Science explains the Universe is all about space and time which includes planets, stars, galaxies etc but does not have concrete information regarding the spatial size of the entire universe. At most science gives some figures based on observable universe which is estimated to be 93 billion light-years in diameter. This information is based on the cosmological model developed by ancient Greek and Indian Philosophers, some heliocentric model. This is the law of universal gravitation developed by Isac Newton and Copernicus and Johannes Kepler’s law of planetary motion and the observations by Tycho Brahe.

The Big Bang theory is considered to be the most prevalent description about the creation of the universe which explains that space and time emerged together 13.799 +/- 0.021 billion years ago and because of the inflationary epoch, some expansion of the particles happened which gradually cooled and it continued to expand with which subatomic particles and atoms were formed.

The ACDM model is the most widely accepted model of the universe according to science. There are many theories competing about the ultimate creation of the universe where even Physicists and Philosophers refuse to contemplate and they doubt if this information could ever be accessible. Scientists also talk about the multiverse hypothesis, where our earth/universe could be one among several universes that possibly exist.

These are all merely anticipations and baseless concepts. Their knowledge (Whatsoever) is confined until the creation of the earth. Whereas the sacred knowledge is given by Supreme God Kabir (Kavir Dev) Himself tells about the universe creation which is even beyond this earth and describes creation of the whole universe/Solar system/infinite Brahamands.

How the Universe/World was created?

Reference:-Kabir Sagar Sampoorna 11 Bhag, Section 1, Kabirpanthee Bharat Pathik, Swami Yuglanand (Bihari), Printed and Published by Khemraj Shri Krishan Das Prakashan, Mumbai. Director: Shri Venkateshwar Press, Khemraj Shreekrishan Das Marg, Mumbai. Chapter Kabir Vaani, Bodhsagar page no 136-137

In the beginning, there was only one God. His name is God Kabir. The actual name of that God is ‘Kavirdev’. He used to reside in a place called ‘Anami (Anamay) Lok (region) Which is also called ‘Akah Lok. The Almighty GOD the creator of the universe (Brahamands) used to reside all alone there. Vedas address Him as ‘Kavirdev’and Quran as ‘Kabiran’. He is in the shape of a human. His body is very effulgent. All the souls (Atma) were contained in the body of that complete GOD (Purna Dhani) whose designated name is Anami Purush (Purush means God since God has created man in His form/image, similar to His own self, therefore, man is also known as ‘Purush’). In the same way, the Supreme God Kabir (Almighty KavirDev) himself appeared and created three other lower regions/places (Lok). The effulgence of one hair follicle of the Almighty God KavirDev (ie. Anami Purush) is more than the combined light of Sankh (Calculation) Suns.

Creation of Lower Loks

The Almighty God (KavirDev) later created Agam Lok, Alakh Lok and Satlok (these are the lower loks) with his word power (Shabd Shakti). The Almighty God (KavirDev) himself then appeared in Agam Lok as the Master (Lord) of Agam Lok. His title (position) there is Agam Purush ie. Agam Prabhu. Agam God’s human-like visible body is highly illuminated. The effulgence of whose one hair follicle is more than the combined light of Kharab (trillions calculation) Suns.

The Almighty God (KavirDev or Supreme God Kabir) himself then appeared in Alakh Lok as the Master (Lord) of Alakh Lok. His title (position) there is Alakh Purush’. Alakh God’s human-like visible body is self-illuminated, its very bright (swarjyoti). The effulgence of one hair follicle of His body is more than the combined light of Arab (Calculation) Suns.

This very Supreme God only appeared in ‘Satlok’ and there He himself is the master (Lord) of Satlok. His title (position) there is SatPurush (the Eternal/Immortal God). In fact, He only is known as Akaalmurti-Shabad Swaroopi Ram’ or calls Him Purna Brahm or Param Akshar Brahm. This SatPurush (God Kabir) KavirDev’s human-like visible body is highly illuminated and the brightness of one hair follicle is more than the combined light of crore (Calculation) Suns.

Creations in Satlok -

While appearing in the form of SatPurush (God Kabir-KavirDev) first did other creations in Satlok. With His word power (one Shabd) He created sixteen islands (dweeps). Then with sixteen words (Shabd), He made evident sixteen sons. He also created Mansarover (a very big lake) and He filled it with nectar. The names of His sixteen sons:-

1) Kurm 2) Gyani 3) Vivek 4) Tej 5) Sahaj 6) Santosh 7) Surati 8) Anand 9) Kshama 10) Nishkaam 11) Jalrangi 12) Achint 13) Prem 14) Dayal 15) Dhairya 16) Yogjit (Yog Santayan)

The Eternal God (SatPurush) amongst sixteen sons then entrusted Achint for the rest of Universe creation. He was given the order to create the creation and was provided the word power. With that word power Achint created ‘Akshar Purush (Param Brahm) with the word (Shabd) and asked him to help him in further creations in Satlok. Akshar Purush ie. this ParBrahm went to Mansarover (the lake filled with nectar) in Satlok to take bath there he started enjoying it and he fell asleep. He stayed there for a very long time and did not come out. In Satlok the body is not made up of five elements, there the life is not through breathing. Then Achint requested the Almighty God KavirDev to awake Akshar Purush from sleep. The Supreme GOD Kabir took some nectar from that Mansarover and made an egg out of it. In that egg, He inserted a soul and renounced that egg in the nectar water of Mansarover. The egg started sinking and its thunder-like voice disturbed the sound sleep of Akshar Purush and his sleep repealed due to which he got annoyed, he stared that egg with anger as ‘Who disturbed my sleep? Due to which the egg broke into two halves. From this egg came out this Brahm, a ‘Purush’ ie. Jyoti Swaroopi Niranjan (Kshar Purush). His real name is ‘Kael’ who later was known as ‘Kaal’. Then Satpurush (KavirDev) uttered Oracle (Aakashvaani) ‘You both come out, Akshar Purush you were in sleep, without you the creation work is not getting completed. In order to wake you, all this process is done and now both of you live in Achint’s dweep (Lok). Following the instructions of the Almighty God, both Akshar Purush and Kshar Purush (Kaal) started living in Achint’s dweep for a very long time. (This spectacle was done by God Kabir to teach them that without the Almighty nothing can be successful and also these foolish children should not crave for power).

Then the Supreme God KavirDev himself did entire creation with His word power (Shabd shakti). He created a Rajeshwari (Rashtri) Shakti with which all these Brahamands (elliptical regions) were established. (insert picture). This is also known as Parashakti / Paranandni. The Almighty KavirDev (Supreme God) then produced all the souls after this with His word power in His own form, in human form, the body of each soul is similar to God himself and the brightness of the body is equivalent to that of sixteen suns.

After a long time, mischief aroused in the mind of Kshar Purush (Jyoti Niranjan) that we three (Achint, Akshar Purush/Brahm and Kshar Purush) are living in one island (dweep) whereas all others are living independently in their own separate dweeps. Having this thought and with an aspiration to have a separate dweep (island/state) for himself this Jyoti Niranjan (Kshar Purush) decided to do religious austerity and by standing on one leg for seventy (70) yugas (ages) he did tenacity (Tap / meditation)...(See More...)

The Establishment of Seven Sankh Brahamands

Evidence in Kabir Sagar

A mention of ParBrahm (Akshar Purush) is given in Kabir Sagar who due to committing a breach in his duty and showing anger for Kshar Purush (Jyoti Niranjan) was expelled from Satlok. After Kshar Purush departed from Satlok, this ParBrahm started missing his friend Brahm forgetting the Almighty Kavir Dev who is the giver of all pleasures and comforts. Since his yearning did not lessen, it became mandatory for Supreme God Kabir to expel him as well.

Conclusion

In this way, the beautiful creation of nature / world / Universe was done of ParBrahm’s Seven

Sankh Brahamands and the life dwelled in these 21 Brahamands of Kshar Purush, Jyoti Niranjan-Kaal. This is how the Universe / world was created. This is the origin of the Universe.

Praise be to God! 🙌⁣ I can't believe Psalm 23 is finally done, Wohoo! 🎉 ⁣ ⁣ It seems like only yesterday when I told God that I wanted to make an artwork for Psalm 23 other than it's a well known chapter in the Book of Psalms but also because it talks about the blessings and promises we can experience in life if we let Jesus Christ be our shepherd.⁣ ⁣ In this last verse, God's promise to us his children is that his goodness and mercy shall relentlessly chase and pursue us in our journey through life. ⁣ ⁣ Try to think about it, if God's goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives here on earth, how much more in the life to come?🤯 ⁣ ⁣ And lastly, the Psalm ends with a wonderful promise and that is we may constantly enjoy and worship the LORD as we dwell in his presence forever.⁣ ⁣ Who is the Good Shepherd? It is 𝐉𝐄𝐒𝐔𝐒, who lays down His life for His sheep.⁣ ⁣ God bless everyone, Shalom!💛 #sheepadoodle #sheep #sheepadoodles #psalm23 #goodnessandmercy #dwell #shepherds #kidlitart #kidlit #kidlitillustration #jesuschrist #thegoodshepherd #illustration #illustrated #30daysbiblelettering #bibleart #biblecreative #christiancommunity #illustration_best #illustrationoftheday #artbible #artph #artsygirl #arttime #inspired #shalom #jesús #bibleillustration #scripture #scriptureart https://www.instagram.com/p/CD8BDufF9Wt/?igshid=1p8e8cdt52rhd

🤲🕊️⁣ Hello, Everyone! How are you all doing?😁⁣ ⁣ I'm happy to share with you God's word today, as we continue on studying Psalm 23:5b.⁣ ⁣ Sheep were anointed by shepherds to them keep out from deadly bugs. This verse tells us that God protects us from the things that would harm us.⁣ ⁣ The allegory is also a reminder of the anointing oil poured over the head of the Psalmist which is David by Samuel (1 Sam 16:13) to 𝐬𝐞𝐭 him 𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 for the work he had called him to, as king of God’s people.⁣ ⁣ Not only does God provide what we need. He always gives us more. Because our cup overflows, we can be generous like our Father and use what he has given us to be his blessing upon other people.⁣ ⁣ Psalm 23:5 is a part of the hospitality of God toward us his people, setting us apart at his blessed table, fed and protected.⁣ ⁣ God bless everyone, Shalom!🌼⁣ ⁣ Reference:⁣ https://connectusfund.org/psalm-23-5-meaning-of-my-cup-overflows #sheepadoodle #shepherd #shepherds #anointed #oil #cup #psalm23 #scripture #biblecreative #artbible #artph #artsygirl #bibleillustration #30daysbiblelettering #kidlitart #kidlit #kidillustration #kidillustrations #creativeart #creativecommunity #illustrate #illustratedart #christiancreative #christiancommunity #arttime #bibleart #biblejournaling #biblejournalingcommunity #wordofgodspeak #bibleverseoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CDVZSYsHsuv/?igshid=jag1z3zbkgod

🐑⁣ The second part of Psalm 23:4b tells us about the essential tools in shepherding. These are the rod and the staff.⁣ ⁣ The "rod" refers to a scepter that shows power and authority. It is also used for defense, as well as to discipline the sheep.⁣ ⁣ On the other hand, the "staff" is used for protection and for drawing the sheep closer to the shepherd. God's staff is also there for us to lean on, to rest and to find peace.⁣ ⁣ Jesus being our shepherd uses his rod to remind us of his authority over all dominions and powers. It protects us from "wolves" and any other harmful thing that may want to attack and devour us. ⁣ ⁣ Sometimes, God's protection also includes His discipline where God needs to break our leg (discipline) in order for us to stay close to Him.⁣ ⁣ In Hebrews 12:11, we are reminded that when God disciplines us, it is not joyful.
