Cosmology in Science and Nanakian Philosophy

Abstract:

Since time immemorial, humans have wondered about the Universe, where it came from, and how it got to be the way it is today. The science of cosmology is advancing every day. Although some Sikh scientists and theologians have tried to represent cosmology in Sikhism, their interpretation of Bani (Words) from the Aad Guru Granth Sahib is based on creation by God. This article discusses cosmology in today’s science compared with that found in the Nanakian Philosophy of the 15^th century. Copernicus, a contemporary of Nanak, and Galileo were working on Astronomy through observations of Nature, the use of Mathematics, and the newly invented telescope in 1609 in Europe, while Nanak was studying Cosmology in South Asia just by observation of Nature and phenomena in the Universe happening under specific laws. Nanakian philosophy briefly provides the key similarities with today’s Cosmology.
