Scientific Perspective on Hanumanji

By

The concept of the multiverse (multiple universes) is one of the most intriguing ideas in modern science. Interestingly, ancient Indian scriptures also contain stories that hint at the existence of multiple realities. One such story is about Shri Ram, Hanumanji, and the mysterious Viti (ring). Could this be an ancient representation of the multiverse? Let’s explore both perspectives.

Shri Ram, Hanumanji, and the Mystery of Patal Lok

When the time came for Shri Ram to leave the Earth, Hanumanji was blessed with a boon that he would remain alive as long as Ram’s name was chanted on Earth. Hanumanji could not bear the separation from his beloved Lord, so Shri Ram devised a way to send him away temporarily.

Shri Ram dropped his ring (Viti) onto the ground and asked Hanumanji to retrieve it from Patal Lok (the underworld). When Hanumanji reached Patal Lok, he met a sage who showed him not just one but countless identical rings. The sage explained that this was not the first time such an event had occurred—countless versions of Shri Ram had previously dropped their rings, sent a Hanuman to retrieve them, and then left the Earth.

Hanumanji was astonished—was this an infinite cycle of universes where the same events were repeating in different realities?

The Multiverse Theory in Modern Science

Now, let’s compare this with modern scientific theories of the multiverse.

1. What is the Multiverse?

The multiverse theory suggests that our universe is just one of many. Each universe may have different physical laws, histories, and even alternate versions of ourselves.

2. Scientific Theories Supporting the Multiverse

A. Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of Quantum Mechanics

In quantum mechanics, every event has multiple possible outcomes.

The Many-Worlds Interpretation suggests that every possibility actually occurs in a separate universe.

Just like Shri Ram’s Viti appearing multiple times in Patal Lok, could every version of Ram’s departure be happening in a different universe?


B. Cosmic Inflation and Bubble Universes

The Big Bang theory suggests that the universe expanded rapidly, creating separate "bubble universes."

Each bubble could be a different universe, just like the multiple versions of Shri Ram’s Viti in the story.


C. String Theory and Brane Cosmology

String theory proposes that our universe is a 3D brane floating in a higher-dimensional space.

Multiple branes could represent different universes—much like the countless rings Hanumanji saw.

Spiritual and Scientific Parallels

Just as infinite versions of Shri Ram’s ring existed in the underworld, the multiverse theory suggests infinite versions of reality.

The idea that every action branches into multiple realities aligns with Hindu philosophy’s concept of Ananta Koti Brahmand (infinite universes).

Could the sages of ancient India have had an intuitive understanding of the multiverse?

Conclusion

The story of Shri Ram and Hanumanji presents a fascinating parallel to the modern concept of the multiverse. Whether through science or spirituality, both perspectives hint at the possibility of infinite realities. Perhaps, in some universe, another version of you is reading this article right now!

What do you think? Could ancient mythology be an early understanding of scientific concepts like the multiverse?

When Speaking Up Feels Too Big

By Anil
 I’ve been sitting with something for a few days now, unsure whether to even put it into words. It’s one of those situations where you start questioning your place — your role on the team, whether your thoughts carry any weight — especially when they go against a decision that’s already in motion. A few days ago, I saw a new marketing campaign at work. It ties our product to a recent military operation — one that’s still fresh, still sensitive. The idea is no longer just an idea; the deal is done, the digital posters are ready, and I’ve been asked to send them out through our official WhatsApp channel. My gut reaction? Should we really be doing this? It felt like we were trying to ride the emotional wave of something serious — and not in a thoughtful or respectful way. More like capitalizing on emotion than honoring it. But here’s the thing: I’m not in marketing. I’m a web developer. I wasn’t part of the brainstorming, and my role is just to support the rollout. Technically, it’s n...

It's Okay to Not Have a Huge Friend Circle

By Anil
 The funny thing about labels, isn't it? We slap them on people as easily as we double-tap an Instagram post. "Friend." It rolls off the tongue, a casual descriptor for the person you exchange memes with or the colleague you grab lukewarm coffee with in the breakroom. But sometimes, I think we dilute the word, stretch it so thin it becomes almost meaningless. These aren't always the people who see the cracks in your carefully constructed facade and still choose to sit beside you in the quiet. The world outside the comforting chaos of school and college can feel… vast. And suddenly, the pool of potential "friends" shrinks while the pressure to network and connect in the corporate jungle swells. You find yourself nodding along to conversations that bore you, forcing smiles at jokes that don't land, all in the name of building these elusive "friendships." But what if those connections feel more like a performance? What if you're constantly edi...

Not Everything Needs Fixing

By Anil
Dear you, I know I’m posting this late. No one’s checking the time, probably. No one’s refreshing the page or waiting with bated breath. But I still feel it—the lateness. Like a tap on the shoulder I can’t ignore. It’s strange, right? How even when there’s no deadline, no one chasing, you can still feel like you’re letting someone down. Maybe even yourself. The thing is—I’m never late. Not for the office. Not for meetings. Not for routine. I’ve built this rhythm over the years that makes me show up like clockwork. It's not even about being disciplined. It’s more like… survival. Like if I break my rhythm, I might fall apart a little. Mornings are predictable. That’s how I like them. I know where everything is. My shirt is folded just right. My keys are where they’re supposed to be. My pen is always, always in the same place. And I know that might sound obsessive. But it’s not about control. Not really. It’s about peace. It’s the only kind I know. I don’t do well when things are out ...
