God is there, but neither in the form we worship nor in the places where they are believed to live.

For some God is a belief, for some it's a supreme being, but it's someone or something.

"GOD EXISTS"

Those people in the early centuries or even BCE's were not mad by just writing epics and other holy books. They wrote it for a reason.

If you think these epics to be a hoax, then everything written in it must be a pure work of fiction.

Let's analyse two of the world greatest epics: The great MAHABHARATA and ODYSSEY.

Mahabhrata: Abhimanyu is the son of the valiant warrior Arjuna. While his wife is pregnant with Abhimanyu, Arjuna extols the secrets of one particular technique of warfare. Seeing that his wife had fallen asleep, he stops after revealing only the first half of the technique. Abhimanyu never got a chance to learn it through his living years and his part-knowledge of this secret led him to give up his life in the great war of Mahabharata

Today's Science: Scientist Annie Murphy Paul has devoted her life to the study of fetal origins, a field that measures how the outside world influences the physical, mental and even emotional well-being of the developing baby for the rest of its life. This reveals the significance of this field of study emphasizing on the fact that fetal journey is just as important as early childhood in shaping the personality of the child. Her book, 'Origins' talks about what we learn even before we are born. It's not surprising that there are several pregnancy meditation and yoga centers that encourage conscious pregnancies as much as conscious parenting.

Mahabhrata: During the great war of the Mahabharata (the second Indian epic), Sanjaya- a charioteer is given the power to view the happenings of the battleground as they happened and narrate them to the blind king, Dritharashtra.

Today's Science: To watch an event live from the other side of the world is no more considered a miracle in today's world. We have the game-changer called "Television" that does this for us. Sanjaya could be likened to anybody reporting live on the event(in this case, a war).

Mahabharata: In the Indian epic, Mahabharata, the 100 antagonists Kauravas develop as embryos outside of their mother's womb. All 100 of them emerge as fully-developed babies after the gestation period.

Today's Science: In-Vitro fertilization and Test-Tube babies are widely accepted today as an alternative to natural conception.

Mahabharata: The Mahabharata mentions that Balarama's biological mother, Devaki, transferred her womb to another woman, Rohini to safeguard the child from her wicked brother Kamsa.

Today's science: Gestational Surrogacy is a widely accepted alternative to natural conception today.

Mahabharata: The Mahabharata's great final war was akin to an Atomic war. The weapon of Brahma called 'Brahmastra' was known to be incredibly potent – which could produce explosions that were brighter than a 'thousand Suns'. After the war, there are references to people losing hair and nails pointing that weapons of mass destruction were indeed used in the war.

Today's science: Dr. Oppenheimer, the creator of the atomic bomb refers to Mahabharata and the Bhagavad Gita as the inspiration behind his invention. Traces of Radio-active material and enormous destruction were excavated.

Odyssey and Today's Science: Like the Iliad, The Odyssey is a synthesis of the most relevant and ubiquitous oral stories and tales told by Homer's civilisation.

From these scholars were able to identify a total of 342 characters with 1,747 connections between them. They analysed this material using several tools derived from complex networks theory: statistical methods to produce data about the characteristics of the network, and insights about the tendency for people to form cliques that are fully connected. They found substantial evidence of a "real-life" social structure in The Odyssey!

Notably, the characters in each chapter or scene described in the poem's 24 books corresponded almost precisely to cliques in real-life networks.

Well, other hidden scientific facts in Odyssey are not much highlighted and hence science has vey less layering to it. However, archaeological evidence shows that indeed Troy was burnt down. But the existence of Trojan horse is still a mystery.

I have read both these great epics completely word by word in English and after complete analyzation I say that Mahabharata has an edge over the Great Odyssey. At last, in Mahabharata it is mentioned that everything that will happen in this world forever will be in accordance to the events already done in the great Mahabharata storyline. The day, when the world will do something that hasn't taken place in Mahabharata, from very that day this world will start its journey towards its very own destruction.

Well, this is true. Everything happening in this world has already been done in Mahabharata! Check it out yourself if you like.

According to Christian and Islam mythology, the undersea bridge between India and Sri Lanka has been referred to as the Adam's Bridge. This contrasts with the Ram's Bridge in the Hindu mythology.

So, we can see that many different ideas collide at a point. Hence, in this point of view we can see that ideas or proven beliefs are governing our mindset. This is similar to joining hands for Hindus; lighting candles for their Jesus in churches, praying Namaz in Islam, etc.

In all cases people try to connect to the one whom they trust in or try to connect to the one whom they trust in or try to connect their thoughts to beliefs which will satisfy their needs. This also connects to the '1.64.46' sloka in one of Hindu's earliest holy texts- the Rig Veda. It states that our path may be different but our destination is the same.
