Our Universe Size and Structure
Introduction
The universe has always fascinated people, from scientists to spiritual thinkers. In a talk by Bapuji Dashrath Bhai Patel, he shares his views on cosmological insights regarding the size and structure of the universe.While modern science describes the observable universe as approximately 93 billion light years in diameter, Bapuji explains that the true expanse is far greater. His framework introduces multiple levels of existence, known as kalas, governed by metaphysical forces beyond current scientific understanding
The True Size of Our Universe
The question of whether the universe is infinite has long fascinated scientists, philosophers, and spiritual thinkers. According to Bapuji Dashrath Bhai Patel, the universe is not infinite but structured in a hierarchical system regulated by the gravitational and luminous power of the supreme divine realm,Param Maha Paramdham. Bapuji identifies the current universe as the zero-kala universe, having a diameter of approximately 2400 billion light years. This measurement, though far larger than scientific estimates, represents only the first level of a much greater cosmic structure.
The center of every creation : Paramdham
At the center of this universe is a special place called "Param Maha Paramdham." It has a very strong light quality, at least eight-kala level. This center's gravity keeps the whole universe moving and stable. Without it, everything would fall apart.
Layers of the Cosmos
Bapuji explains there are higher levels too. From zero-kala up to 16-kala, each level is double the size of the one below it. Above 16-kala, up to 20-kala, is the full Paramdham, a supreme home. Below 16-kala down to 14-kala is "Mul Vatan," which seems like the root or original homeland in his creation story. For more details, he suggests watching his video on how the universe was made.
Parts and Features Inside the Universe
Inside this vast space, there are countless groups of galaxies. Galaxies are like big families of stars, called "akasha ganga" in Hindi. These galaxies form clusters that spin together, known as nebulae or “Niharika” in ancient books or "shastras."
Creator of Galaxy
Bapuji says the universe was created by "Param Maha Shiv," a supreme being. At the center of this universe lies the gravitational presence of Param Maha Shiv within Param Maha Paramdham. According to Bapuji, it is this divine gravitational power that regulates the functioning of all galaxies, solar systems.The cosmos is therefore not a random or mechanical entity but a carefully designed creation infused with divine order.
How Science Sees It Today
Modern cosmology, through tools such as the Hubble Space Telescope and cosmic background radiation studies, estimates the observable universe at 93 billion light years in diameter. Earlier scientific estimates suggested 150 billion light years. Bapuji notes that such measurements are inherently limited, as they rely solely on material instruments. He argues that only when science evolves into a discipline combining both physical and metaphysical methodologies will it be capable of perceiving the full extent of the cosmos.
The Future of Science
Bapuji envisions a transformation in the tools of science. Future discoveries will involve instruments capable of perceiving both physical and metaphysical dimensions, thereby bridging the gap between spiritual wisdom and empirical knowledge. When such progress occurs, humanity will finally confirm the vastness and structured hierarchy of the universe as described in spiritual teachings.
Conclusion
Bapuji Dashrath Bhai Patel’s cosmological framework challenges the current boundaries of scientific thought by introducing metaphysical concepts that extend beyond physical measurement. His explanation of a 2400 billion light year universe, structured through kalas and sustained by divine gravity, offers an alternative understanding of cosmic reality. While science continues to expand its observational capacity, Bapuji’s vision invites deeper reflection on the spiritual foundation of the universe and the future convergence of science and spirituality.
