Does Alien Life, Parallel Universe, Multiverses exists - Deep secrets of Vedic cosmological science based on ancient Theory of Humans Species based on Srimad Bhagwad, Brahma Samhita and Padma Puraan
(Revised Edition | May 2017)
According to many of Theoretical physicists in recent modern Quantum theory era, the refined idea of multiverse structure came in picture but first it was stuck in mind of Hugh Everett III’s scientifically, Relative State Formulation in 1957. Later, Bryce Seligman DeWitt renamed Everett’s theory and introduced it to the masses with different paradigm, bringing us with the popular term Many-worlds Interpretation. According to Multiverse theory as defined in modern era , it states that our own universe is not the only one residing in universe, but there are many more universes exists in our huge Universe which looks like a box inside and keep on expanding infinitely and all are parallel to each other. These unique universes within the multiverse theory are called as parallel universes.
But Vedic cosmology of Hinduism has much different definition and opinion on Multiverse Cosmos than modern Physics as explained in Vishnu and Bhagwad Puraan.As per the 5th canto of Srimad Bhagwad puraan, it enumerates about many universes within each universe and each universe is like an egg shell surrounded by different layers of elemental matter which is acting like a boundary between physical space and the eternal spiritual world.
Within there are countless universes, clustered together like foam on the surface of the Causal Ocean. all The universes are separated from each other by the shell that envelops each universe. Though each universes are clustered together but interactions between both the universes are impossible and physically they can never exists, as the connection is purely spiritual in nature. Each universe is protected by an enormous shell. Thus, each universe has a different boundaries. All The universes are in ball shaped and surrounded by an eight-fold shell.
The region which is fall within this universe act like a shell and its called the Brahmanda, or “Brahma egg.” It contains an disk like plane called as Bhu-mandala- that divides it into an upper, heavenly half and a subterranean half, filled with water. Bhu-mandala is further divided into a series of geographic features, called as dvipas, or “islands,” varshas, or “regions,” and oceans of different tastes.The circular “island” of Jambudvipa, lies in the centre of Bhu-mandala with nine varsha subdivisions. Subdivisions are known as -Bharata-varsha, which is India/Bharat . In the centre of Jambudvipa stands the cone-shaped Sumeru Mountain, which represents the world axis and is surmounted by the city of Brahma, the universal creator and each planets and Devas everyday rotate around that Mountain. The concept of Hindu cosmology is so deep it need many years to understand and explain in layman language, but soon i will cover those aspects too. Moving further lets first understand Does Really Aliens exists as our mentioned in our hindu scriptures or not ?
If we go further deep regarding the life forms or Jeeva lives on those universes we have quote from Padma Puran that speaks about different species we have.
According to the Padma Purana; there are 8,400,000 life-form species, 900,000 of which are aquatic ones; 2,000,000 are trees and plants; 1,100,000 are small living species, insects and reptiles; 1,000,000 are birds; 3,000,000 are beasts and 400,000 are human species and as per modern Science research till now they are able to find out only Over seven million species of plants and animals living on planet earth, according to the best estimates made by biologists, means Science is still behind in understanding the biological and multiverse structure of almighty.
But does that means every time we take birth in same earth in same human species or in some other species in same universe ?, absolutely not, if we look deeply in spiritual reality. Our karmas decides where any being has to move through either in this universe or in some other Universe and in which life form. It is difficult to understand in which world we take birth and which world we will move through, reason being Brahm-anda is composed of so many multiverse universes within each of so Many inter- related
Brahmands and in each of them, it has Many forms of trinity godheads are also present in each and every Universe. we can't imagine. This can be easily Understandable from Many of verses explained in Bhagwad puraan regarding parallel universe and Multiverse theory based on vedic cosmology that we will discuss in later part of this article. But First we need to understand how our Brahmand or universe structure is composed of in how many layers of spiritual reality that can give us idea of the how lokas or universes do exists.
Below mentioned verse taken from Bhagwad puraan clearly says on the Divine desire of the krishna or Govinda for manifestation of so many universes as follows:
Even Krishna also said,
Bhagavata Puranas speaks about the fourteen worlds, seven higher ones (Vyahrtis) and seven lower ones (Pātālas) i.e Bhuloka, Bhuvar Loka, svarga, Mahar Loka, Jana Loka, Tapa Loka, and Satyaloka above and Atala, Vitala, Sutala, Rasaataala, Talatala, Mahaatala, Patala and naraka below.
The planets above these, up to Satya-loka are the residences of those advanced in spiritual knowledge. All these planets are within the material world and under the control of Devi (Goddess Durga), and therefore called Devi-dhama.”We humans lives in Bhuloka (the material world) in the middle one.
Our puraans gives three different Variations for our Universe for all these 14 worlds:

Below mentioned verse taken from Bhagwad puraan clearly says on the Divine desire of the krishna or Govinda for manifestation of so many universes as follows:
Even though over a period of time I might count all the atoms of the universe, I could not count all of My opulences which I manifest within innumerable universes
(Bhagavata Purana 11.16.39, https://prabhupadabooks.com/sb)Above quotes clearly speaks that the supreme godhead manifest in different universes in many of Infinite forms those are uncountable for lord himself. This shows that the birth of Soul happens in those innumerable time and in so many dimensions in different-different species and in each of those universe is manifested from him are hard to explain and but we can only understand it by karmic cycles those took in different species.
Even Krishna also said,
The misdeeds of our past lives torment us in the form of illnesses or ailments, whenever we take birth in any of the form.
Below mentioned Sanskrit Verse from "Padama Puraan" Clearly justifies that how much species are present in each Universe, including in other parallel Universes too :
This shows that there are other human species present as well in totality; means many universes and many inter-dimensional worlds do present where rest of 3,99,000 Human species like us also living there and performing same kind of their different karmas in different dimensional worlds.
If we are an one of kind species, than rest of all do present in different earth like structures having life form.
Clearly suggests that there are many earth's over different divisions of time in many different universes, might be advanced in sub-conscious, technology and DNA helix structure than us but they are too present which we called them Aliens.
"We can't deny we are alone" - What it is been in explained in science as "Alien's life or Jeeva" do exists but with different demography and different elemental structure. Even there is life in Sun too but it's totally different from the 5 element structure we have in our earth.
Only difference is we humans require 5 element structure for survive in mortal world which has Destructible body structure in nature but it is not the case with other Lokas (Where other Jeevas lives in different dimensions), where mortality is not the factor and there are many more millions of parallel earth do exists at parallel time.
400,000 different Human species do present at same time with relative time difference in different worlds and universe and soul do take birth in different-different parallel worlds structures, including our own earth as part of Life and birth time cycle suggested in scriptures.
Now moving further, lets look and understand how the Brahmanda is been structured and divided into different spiritual reality.
Segregation of Different species and life forms are categorised as:Jalaja Nava lakshani, Sthavara laksha-vimshati, krimayo rudra-sankhyakah, pakshinam Dasha-lakshanam, trinshal-lakshani pashavah, chatur lakshani manavah.
Jalaja (Water based life forms) – 0.9 millionSthavara (Immobile implying plants and trees) – 2.0 millionKrimayo (Reptiles) – 1.1 millionPakshinam (Birds) – 1.0 millionPashavah (terrestrial animals) – 3.0 millionManavah (human-like animals) – 0.4 millionIf we try to look Deeply only for Human species, what Vedic Cosmology says that, there are presence of "400,000" Human species exists in totality of 8,400,000 species in any world we take birth but thing is we only knew only one of its kinds human species.
This shows that there are other human species present as well in totality; means many universes and many inter-dimensional worlds do present where rest of 3,99,000 Human species like us also living there and performing same kind of their different karmas in different dimensional worlds.
If we are an one of kind species, than rest of all do present in different earth like structures having life form.
Clearly suggests that there are many earth's over different divisions of time in many different universes, might be advanced in sub-conscious, technology and DNA helix structure than us but they are too present which we called them Aliens.

Now moving further, lets look and understand how the Brahmanda is been structured and divided into different spiritual reality.
Bhagavata Puranas speaks about the fourteen worlds, seven higher ones (Vyahrtis) and seven lower ones (Pātālas) i.e Bhuloka, Bhuvar Loka, svarga, Mahar Loka, Jana Loka, Tapa Loka, and Satyaloka above and Atala, Vitala, Sutala, Rasaataala, Talatala, Mahaatala, Patala and naraka below.
The planets above these, up to Satya-loka are the residences of those advanced in spiritual knowledge. All these planets are within the material world and under the control of Devi (Goddess Durga), and therefore called Devi-dhama.”We humans lives in Bhuloka (the material world) in the middle one.
Our puraans gives three different Variations for our Universe for all these 14 worlds:
Urdhva-loka (Highest abodes),
Madhya or Bhu-loka (Middle ones),
andAdho-loka (the Lower realms).
Urdhva-loka (Highest abodes) or the Higher Lokas
The Higher Planets or lokas are the abodes of Gods, superior beings, Angels, Siddhas, highly intelligent, superhumans, semi-divines and spiritually advanced beings.
Descriptions of the Higher Planetary Systems
Satyaloka
This is the abode of Lord Brahma, the progenitor of this material universe. Here there are airplanes controlled by mantra, not by any mechanical means. The residents have mind and intelligence, but no material gross bodies. They feel compassion for those suffering in the lower regions, but do not suffer fear, old age, or death. At the time of final dissolution of the material planets the residents here transform their subtle bodies into spiritual bodies and enter the eternal Vaikuntha planets. Great yogis finally reach this highest planet through the Milky Way, which is the “highway” to this most elevated planet where the duration of life is calculated as 15,480,000,000,000 years.
Tapaloka
This is the abode of the four Kumaras named Sanat, Sanaka, Sanandana, and Sanatana. In this world many great sages also reside due to their advancement through spiritual austerity. The enjoyment available to the residents is inconceivable to us as it is beyond anything of our experience. When there is annihilation of the material universe the residents here also transform their subtle bodies to spiritual and enter the spiritual sky.
Janaloka
This planet, still above the heavenly realms, is another abode of great saints and sages. This planet is populated by mystics who move to higher planets, and eventually transform their subtle bodies to spiritual, when the fire of devastation consumes the material planets. These residents can move between any planets within the material universe as mystic “spacemen” at speeds unthinkable to us.
Maharloka
When fully purified from material desire and contamination through sacrifice, penance, and charity one can reach the heavenly planets, and if advancing further can pass through the higher orbits to reach Maharloka. The greatest of sages, such as Bhrigu Muni, live in this place. It is situated beyond the “Sisumara”, which is the pivotal point for the turning of the universe. Advanced yogis reach this planet and live here for 4,300,000,000 solar years. When the fire of devastation almost reaches this planet the residents transport themselves to Satyaloka where they live further before this highest of planets is destroyed. They then transform their subtle bodies to spiritual and enter the spiritual realms.
Swarga-Loka
The abode of the 33 Vedic gods located on the peak of Mount Meru, the central mountain of the world, at a height of 80,000 yojans.
This Loka corresponds to the concept of Heaven as described in the Western sense of the term. Here the King of the Gods, Indra rules with his brothers and companions. His entourage comprises of Angels, Gandharvas, Apsaras, Maruts, Vasus and other divine beings.
Bhuvar-Loka
This planetary system corresponds to our deep space system where our Solar System resides and contains Five major planets plus the Sun-God.However, there are two other planets outside the Solar System included in this - Dhruva Loka or Pole Star and the realm of the Sapta-rishis or Big Dipper.
These Lokas are the abodes of Semi-divine beings who are one notch higher than the Humans. They assist the demigods in various ways and sometimes interact with the humans. By advancement in their service they can become a Demigod or by indulging in enjoyment, be born as a Human on the Earthly Realms.
Dhruvaloka
In every material universe is one Vaikuntha planet with an ocean of milk where Lord Vishnu resides on an island called Svetadvipa. This planet is Dhruvaloka. Living here are completely pure personalities. In our universe this planet is seen as the polestar and is situated above the planets of the Seven Rishis. As it is a spiritual planet, it is eternal and therefore remains when all other planets within the material universes are destroyed. It is said that this planet is the pivot for all material stars’ and planets’ orbits. All planets travel at high speeds in orbit, including the sun, which travels 16,000 miles per second in its orbit around Dhruvaloka. The planets of the seven sages are stars just below this planet that also orbit Dhruvaloka. They are always concerned with the welfare of the living entities within this material world and send emissaries to bring spiritual knowledge at various times and circumstances.
Madhya-Loka or The Middle Planets
The Bhu- mandala or Bhu-loka comprises of Seven Planets giving rise to the Mortal Realm. These are:
Jambu-dvipa,
Plaksha-dvipa,
Salmali-dvipa,
Kusha-dvipa,
Krauncha-dvipa,
Shaka-dvipa,
Pushkar-dvipa
According to the Hari-vamsha Puraans, Higher planetary systems or lokas are the realms of Devas, Angels, Spirits and Manes and Middle Planets or Bhu-Loka are the abodes of mortal beings like Humans, animals, birds etc and the Lower planets or lokas are categorised as in Demons and Nagas.
Adho-Loka or The Lower Planets
About 70,000 Yojans below the earth begin the seven lower planetary systems. These planets or lokas are materially more opulent from the Higher Planets hence they are known as the Bila-Swarga!
Atal
But Before that we need to first understand the cycle of Cosmos and how it is connected with the Birth, Rebirth and Reincarnation cycle of souls for mortal world.The Divine Purpose is so deep indeed that, it involves a desire of krishna why he physically manifested many worlds from its own form while sleeping in Ksheer Sagar.
As a man, casting off worn-out garments, takes new ones, so the dweller in the body, casting off worn-out bodies, enters into others that are new.
These geographically lower worlds are:
Atal
Vital
Sutal
Talatal
Mahataal
Rasaatal
Pataal
The Jeevas here enjoy a standard of material comfort even the higher planets cannot imagine because life forms here are only concerned only with Material enjoyment and have very low Spiritual inclination.
These lower worlds or universes are dark in nature, devoid of any Sunshine and are hence artificially-lit by means of huge reflecting surfaces in the form of crystals and gems! Since time is not divided into days and nights due to no sunshine reaching these planets, they have no fear produced by time.
These planets are the residence of Daityas, Danavas, Panis, Nivat-kavachs, Rakshasas, Kalkeyas, Nagas, Uragas who are all engaged in illusory material enjoyment with no thought of spiritual liberation. All residents bathe in elixirs which free them from any anxiety or physical disease, as well as any signs of physical aging.
Vedic cosmology of Lord Shiri Krishna is so deep that science cannot imagine or go in one straight direction to deeply understand its structure based on material plane, logically it is very much complex, and it is hard for any scientist to understand it in scientific terms, as all the universes or lokas are spiritually divided by different boundaries not by physical plane that we can see in space.
But Before that we need to first understand the cycle of Cosmos and how it is connected with the Birth, Rebirth and Reincarnation cycle of souls for mortal world.The Divine Purpose is so deep indeed that, it involves a desire of krishna why he physically manifested many worlds from its own form while sleeping in Ksheer Sagar.
As per Bhagwad Gita verse mentioned in chapter 2,Krishna Said to Arjuna that;
vasamsi jirnani yatha vihaya navani grhnati naro 'paranitatha sarirani vihaya jirnany anyani samyati navani dehi
Translation:
He has also said "The misdeeds of our past lives torment us in the form of illnesses or ailments, leading us falling into a cosmic cycle of numerous birth till a soul is never reach into the state of zero.
Below mentioned Shalokas from Bhagwad Puraan further speaks about the Concept of Multiverse universes and parallel world theory and logically it is nothing more than a quantum world reality beyond physical existence or might be a spiritual reality which has no boundaries.
As Per Bhagavata Purana, Shaloka 37, Canto 6, Chapter 16), Lord Govinda further explaining that how different elemental nature do exists in each universe and how all are much more stronger than each other:
kṣity-ādibhir eṣa kilāvṛtaḥ
saptabhir daśa-guṇottarair aṇḍa-kośaḥ
yatra pataty aṇu-kalpaḥ
sahāṇḍa-koṭi-koṭibhis tad anantaḥ
TRANSLATION
Shaloka states that, Every universe is covered by seven layers—earth, water, fire, air, sky, the total energy and false ego—each ten times greater than the previous one. There are innumerable universes besides this one, and although they are unlimitedly large, they move about like atoms in You. Therefore You are called unlimited.
Definition of above verse can be further understand from The verse of Brahma-saṁhitā, (5.48) further says that:
yasyaika-niśvasita-kālam athāvalambya
jīvanti loma-vilajā jagad-aṇḍa-nāthāḥ
viṣṇur mahān sa iha yasya kalā-viśeṣo
govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi
The origin of the material creation is from Maha-Viṣṇu, who lies in the Causal Ocean (white Ocean). While He sleeps in that ocean, millions of universes are generated as he exhales, and they are all annihilated when He inhales. This Maha-Viṣṇu is a plenary portion of a portion of Viṣṇu, Govinda (yasya kalā-viśeṣaḥ).
From Kṛṣṇa, or Govinda, comes Balarama; from Balarama comes Saṅkarṣaṇa; from Saṅkarṣaṇa, Narayaṇa; from Narayaṇa, the second Saṅkarṣaṇa; from the second Sankarṣaṇa, Maha-Visnu; from Maha-Visnu, Garbhodakaśaya Visnu; and from Garbhodakasayi Visnu, Ksirodakaśayi Viṣṇu. Kṣirodakasayi Visnu controls every universe.
This gives an idea of the meaning of ananta, unlimited. What is to be said of the unlimited potency and existence of the Lord? This verse describes the coverings of the universe (saptabhir daśa-guṇottarair aṇḍa-kośaḥ).
The first covering is earth, the second is water, the third is fire, the fourth is air, the fifth is sky, the sixth is the total material energy, and the seventh is the false ego.
Beginning with the covering of earth, each covering is ten times greater than the previous one. Thus we can only imagine how great each universe is, and there are many millions of universes.
(The Brahma-saṁhita, 5, 48, Source: https://prabhupadabooks.com/sb)
As Same confirmed by the Lord Krishna Himself in Bhagavad-gita, (Chapter 10, Shaloka 42):
athavā bahunaitena
kiṁ jñātena tavārjuna
viṣṭabhyāham idaṁ kṛtsnam
ekāṁśena sthito jagat
“But what need is there, Arjuna, for all this detailed knowledge? With a single fragment of Myself I pervade and support this entire universe.” The entire material world manifests only one fourth of the Supreme Lord’s energy. Therefore He is called ananta
" Every universe is covered by seven layers — earth, water, fire, air, sky, the total energy and false ego — each ten times greater than the previous one. There are innumerable universes besides this one, and although they are unlimitedly large, they move about like atoms in You. Therefore You are called unlimited ", means This total creation is in infinity state and unlimited.
(Bhagavata Purana 6.16.37,Source: https://prabhupadabooks.com/sb)
TEXT 10
puruṣo 'ṇḍaṁ vinirbhidya yadāsau sa vinirgataḥ
ātmano 'yanam anvicchann apo 'srākṣīc chuciḥ śucīḥ
TRANSLATION
After separating the different universes, the gigantic universal form of the Lord [Maha-Viṣṇu], which came out of the causal ocean, the place of appearance for the first puruṣa-avatāra, entered into each of the separate universes, desiring to lie on the created transcendental water [Garbhodaka].
(Bhagavata Purana 2.10.10,Source: https://prabhupadabooks.com/sb)
In the Bhagavad-gita (9.10) the direction of the Lord upon the material nature is described as follows:
mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥsūyate sacarācaram
hetunānena kaunteyajagad viparivartate
Explanation:
"The material nature full of physical laws is one of My different energies; therefore it is neither independent nor blind. Because I am transcendentally all-powerful, simply by My glancing over material nature, the physical laws of nature work so wonderfully. The actions and reactions of the physical laws work on that account, and thus the material world is created, maintained and annihilated again and again."
Men with a poor fund of knowledge, however, become astonished by studying the physical laws both within the construction of the individual body and within the cosmic manifestation, and foolishly they decry the existence of God, taking it for granted that the physical laws are independent, without any metaphysical control.
This Shows that all the physical manifestation is only the self desire wish of the Krishna generated from its one of Atom (Ansh), part of energy for manifestation of Physical world, emerged from his one of his own physical form but with the motive of balancing prakarti and cosmic cycle of Jeeva and Mrityu but it is again cyclic in nature. It lies in numerous multi universes.
"Even though over a period of time I might count all the atoms of the universe, I could not count all of My opulences which I manifest within innumerable universes"
(Bhagavata Purana 11.16.39)
What am I, a small creature measuring seven spans of my own hand? I am enclosed in a pot like universe composed of material nature, the total material energy, false ego, ether, air, water and earth. And what is Your glory? Unlimited universes pass through the pores of Your body just as particles of dust pass through the openings of a screened window,
(Bhagavata Purana 10.14.11)
Because You are unlimited, neither the lords of heaven nor even You Yourself can ever reach the end of Your glories. The countless universes, each enveloped in its shell, are compelled by the wheel of time to wander within You, like particles of dust blowing about in the sky. The śrutis, following their method of eliminating everything separate from the Supreme, become successful by revealing You as their final conclusion,
(Bhagavata Purana 10.87.41)
The layers or elements covering the universes are each ten times thicker than the one before, and all the universes clustered together appear like atoms in a huge combination,
(Bhagavata Purana 3.11.41)
In Each Multiverse Universe there are Many Shiva, Many Vishnu and Many Brahma;
And who will search through the wide infinities of space to count the universes side by side, each containing its Brahma, its Vishnu, its Shiva? Who can count the Indras in them all--those Indra's side by side, who reign at once in all the innumerable worlds; those others who passed away before them; or even the Indras who succeed each other in any given line, ascending to godly kingship, one by one, and, one by one, passing away?,
(Brahma Vaivarta Purana)
Conclusion :
From all we can conclude that Brahmanda is Unlimited, Ananta and cyclic in nature, it has no end, no start, Many soul, Many universes keep on emerging from one and another with the physical form of Maha-Vishnu himself, his own creation, his own desire is the cause of this process, Neither it is work by own, nor this is because of the cause of physical manifestation. What we are calling Alien are nothing more the same species like us living in other dimensions and other Multi- Universes.
