1. CIRCUMSTANCES (Wikipedia)

Several Hindu scriptures are devoted to describe various unknown theories and facts in general, specific and logical
aspects, as the precise scientific descriptions are not available. Circumstances are also defined and explored by
these recorded scriptures to comprehend the cause or origin of their appearance (or emergence), including the
consequences. Bhagavad-Gita is the most acceptable philosophical texts available in the history of mankind which
defines circumstances as a universal phenomenon; and it is the tendency of (only) human mind to delineate as
favorable or unfavorable else the circumstances reflect the continuous changes in the elements of the universe.
Definition
General (Veda)
"Physical appearances which provoke the 'object under effect' to react or respond". It is the unexceptional
universal phenomenon of the existence to drive the nature. For living units, circumstances are also said to be the
consequences of the deeds in general. It is a continuous process and leads to the fact-Circustances affect
elements and elements affect circumstances.
Specific (Puranas)
"Circumstances are the delineated consequential effect of 'the time-element-energy'". It may also be defined
as the time-element-energy phenomenon and leads to the fact- Elements emerge from circumstances and
circumstances emerge from elements. Moreover, according to puranas, delineation of circumstances is not possible
as it is the ongoing phenomenon, however, the conscientiousness at certain incidents induced human mind to
delineate in the way they are perceived which is further stored in the memory.
Logical (Bhagavad-Gita)
"Organized ceaseless spontaneous 'irreversible and interminable' universal phenomenon affecting, involving
and applicable to all the elements in the universe". According to the scripture, circumstances follow observable
fact modify-appear-disappear. Further, circumstances drive elements and elements drive circumstances and
therefore, the role of mind is insignificant to define or demarcate favorable and unfavorable (circumstances).
Materialization of circumstances needs three factors:
Time
Element
Energy
These three factors are the fundamental requirements for the circumstances to become apparent and provide the
effect in the universe that may be major or minor depending on the quantitative involvement of the elements with
energy, and the duration of the time.
Classification
Circumstances may be spontaneous (self-driven or natural) or contrived (unnatural) where planned situations are
made may be for experimental or for any other reason (e.g, politics). Contrived or 'unnatural circumstances' are
more or less similar to 'situations' unless the impact is at the universe level which is almost impossible. Further,
circumstances emerge in an organized way at the level of the universe and most of the commotions in the universe
are unknown, which gives the reason of its difficulty to acknowledge uncountable incidents.
