(Introductory Quotes)
Hindu cosmology is non-dualistic. Everything that is is Brahman. Brahman is
the eternal Now, and in eternity there is no before or after, for
everything is everywhere, always. To use the words of Pascal 'it is a circle
the center of which is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.'
(Sudhakar S.D, I am All, 1988)

The most important characteristic of the Eastern world view - one could
almost say the essence of it - is the awareness of the unity and mutual
interrelation of all things and events, the experience of all phenomena in
the world as manifestations of a basic oneness. All things are seen as
interdependent and inseparable parts of this cosmic whole; as different
manifestations of the same ultimate reality. (Capra, The Tao of Physics)

In Indian philosophy, the main terms used by Hindus and Buddhists have
dynamic connotations. The word Brahman is derived from the Sanskrit root
brih - to grow- and thus suggests a reality which is dynamic and alive. The
Upanishads refer to Brahman as 'this unformed, immortal, moving', thus
associating it with motion even though it transcends all forms.' The Rig
Veda uses another term to express the dynamic character of the universe,
the term Rita. This word comes from the root ri- to move. In its
phenomenal aspect, the cosmic One is thus intrinsically dynamic, and the
apprehension of its dynamic nature is basic to all schools of Eastern
mysticism.
They all emphasize that the universe has to be grasped dynamically, as it
moves, vibrates and dances. ..The Eastern mystics see the universe as an
inseparable web, whose interconnections are dynamic and not static. The
cosmic web is alive; it moves and grows and changes continually. (Fritjof
Capra, 1972.) 

In Hinduism, Shiva the Cosmic Dancer, is perhaps the most perfect

personification of the dynamic universe. Through his dance, Shiva sustains
the manifold phenomena in the world, unifying all things by immersing them
 in his rhythm and making them participate in the dance- a magnificent
image of the dynamic unity of the Universe. (Capra, The Tao of Physics)
