तेजस्वि नावधीमस्तुLet Our Learning Illuminate Us

This is an lllustration drawn by Pandit Motilal Shastri, explaining the process of creation through the principles of Vedic vijnana.

The term `triloki` is an important terminology in Vedic science. It defines three triple worlds that comprise Brahmand, the whole of Creation.An understanding of the meaning and scope of this term helps in getting a sense of brahmand (entire cosmos). This `triloki` straddles bhuloka (earth) to svargaloka (heavens).

In Shrimad Bhagvad Gita, it is stated that avyaya is the cause of this whole universe. This can be understood by learning that there are two types of causes. One is that which results in an ``effect``. The second produces no effect. Ávyaya falls in the second category; it can reveal the existence of whole universe by its sheer presence.
