Why we are here?
First we must properly understand the true context into which every human being is born.
Where do we come from?
All of Creation — the entire manifest universe — was created approximately 13.75 billion years ago.
Planet Earth is about 4.5 billions years old.
The duration of the present universe will last just over 34 & 1/2 billions years[1].
The cosmos was created out of a void of pure, undifferentiated consciousness — Cosmic Consciousness[2], which is all that exists in the VOID between the cyclic cosmic creations.
It is this Cosmic Consciousness which generated the primordial throb — known as the great Spanda — that eventually evolved into the current universe. This Spanda initially took the form of the primordial sound of creation known universally as the sacred sound OM.
