{"product_id":"from-the-beginning-of-time-ganesh-swaminathan-9781648507311","title":"From the Beginning of Time: Modern Science and the Puranic Universe","description":"The Puranas, as suggested by their name, describe events deep in the earth's past. Finding a complete cosmology in the ancient Puranic texts that is mostly aligned to the view of cutting-edge science is almost incredible. This book attempts to do so - through an exploratory analysis. The narrative is pieced together by exploring familiar stories from the Puranas in great depth. In the well-known story of the Descent of Ganga, the extra-terrestrial origin of Earth's waters has been described in amazing detail. The story of the birth of the Sun God Martanda bears a striking resemblance to the origin of the sun. The Churning of the Milk Ocean recounts the re-appearance of the Moon. The book delves into many such stories along with external evidence to come up with a compelling chronicle of our Universe. The book shows the Puranic texts in a fascinating new light. It also serves as a primer to the general interest reader by tackling some of the questions that modern science is grappling with in its study of the cosmos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ganesh Swaminathan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 164850731X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781648507311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Notion Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.66d","brand":"Ganesh Swaminathan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993468928255,"sku":"9781648507311","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_21fff5fc-79d5-4140-8bb3-b9649d950974.jpg?v=1683324505","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-the-beginning-of-time-ganesh-swaminathan-9781648507311","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
