Cosmogonie hindoue
Résumé
Hindu cosmology is the description of the universe and its states of matter, cycles within time, physical structure, and effects on living entities according to Hindu texts. Hindu cosmology is also intertwined with the idea of a creator who allows the world to exist and take shape.
GunaPradhanaPrakritiAhamkaraBuddhiCitta and Pancha Bhoota
All matter is based on three inert gunas (qualities or tendencies):
sattva (goodness)
rajas (passion)
tamas (darkness)
There are three states of the gunas that make up all matter in the universe:
pradhana (root matter): gunas in an unmixed and unmanifested state (equilibrium).
prakriti (primal matter): gunas in a mixed and unmanifested state (agitated).
mahat-tattva (matter or universal womb): gunas in a mixed and manifested state.
Pradhana, which has no consciousness or will to act on its own, is initially agitated by a primal desire to create. The different schools of thought differ in understanding about the ultimate source of that desire and what the gunas are mixed with (eternal elements, time, jiva-atmas).
The manifest material elements (matter) range from the most subtle to the most physical (gross). These material elements cover the individual, spiritual jiva-atmas (embodied souls), allowing them to interact with the material sense objects, such as their temporary material bodies, other conscious bodies, and unconscious objects.
Manifested subtle elements:
ahamkara (ego)
buddhi (intelligence)
citta/manas (mind)
Manifested physical (gross) elements ( pancha bhuta, the five elements) and their associated senses and sense organs that manifest:
space/ether > sound > ear
air > touch > skin
fire > sight/form > eye
water > taste > tongue
earth > smell > nose
KalaKalpaManvantaraYuga Cycle and Hindu units of time
Time is infinite with a cyclic universe, where the current universe was preceded and will be followed by an infinite number of universes. The different states of matter are guided by eternal kala (time), which repeats general events ranging from a moment to the lifespan of the universe, which is cyclically created and destroyed.
