We inhabit a small planet that rotates around one of 100 billion suns in the Milky Way galaxy. And the Milky Way is only one of 2 trillion other galaxies visible in the observable universe. That's enough to make anyone feel tiny—and curious. With such a huge universe, is it possible that Earth is the sole abode for intelligent life? Or is there an intelligent creator behind it all? Let's consider five grand ideas that drive this age-old question.

1. Ancient Texts Talk About “Other Beings”

Ancient Texts Talk About - other beings

From the Ramayana’s flying chariots (Pushpaka Vimana) to the Mahabharata’s divine weapons, Indian mythology is full of high-tech-sounding stories. Some believe these were symbolic. Others think they may hint at real encounters with extraterrestrial beings.



2. India’s Space Leap: From Temples to Telescopes

India’s Space Leap: From Temples to Telescopes

India’s Chandrayaan-3 landed near the Moon’s south pole in 2023, something only a few nations have done. ISRO is also planning Gaganyaan, a manned mission to space. This progress isn’t just about science—it’s about curiosity. With over 100 billion galaxies out there, Indian scientists are now part of the search for life beyond Earth. In fact, some universities are already studying astrobiology.

3. Faith and Science Are Not Enemies Here

Faith and science are not Enemies here

While in most Western nations science and religion tend to confront each other, India mixes both. Numerous Indian scientists are highly religious. Even our former President and rocket scientist, APJ Abdul Kalam, would frequently mention God and fate in conjunction with data and engineering. In India, it is not unusual to find a Ganesh idol in a physics laboratory and no one raises an eyebrow.

4.UFOs and the Government Files

We're Still in the Dark And That’s Exciting

In recent years, governments worldwide including ours have published actual videos of unidentified flying objects. In 2021, a Pentagon report acknowledged there are more than 140 sightings they can't account for. And this doesn't even show aliens exist, only that we don't have the whole picture. Something's out there. We just don't know what.

5. We're Still in the Dark And That's Exciting

We're Still in the Dark And That’s Exciting

The thing is, we don't know. Not yet. But that's what makes the hunt so incredible. Each telescope launched, each rover on Mars, each weird signal from deep space, it's all part of the need to know. Are we looking for aliens? A creator? Perhaps both. Perhaps neither. But we're searching. And that search might change everything.

Divine or Distant? The Truth Could Be Somewhere in the MiddleIn a country where mantras and Mars rockets coexist, maybe the answer isn’t God or aliens—maybe it’s both. India’s ancient stories and modern science both point to one big truth: we don’t know everything yet. But we’re asking the right questions. Whether it's a divine force shaping the stars or intelligent life watching from afar, one thing is clear. we’re part of something much bigger than ourselves. The real discovery might not be out there in space, but in how we choose to understand it. And that journey? It’s just getting started
