Description:
A dialogue between science and spirituality is a necessity in our times, where both the differences and mutual enrichment of these two great fields of human understanding are evident. This volume addresses this need from the perspective of various scientific disciplines and spiritual traditions.

Inspired by Dr. S. Radhakrishnan’s vision—who believed that both the practice of science and the experience of spirituality are essential to human existence—this book aims to foster a harmonious integration of the two. It presents contributions from experts in physics, plant biology, neuroscience, psychology, ecology, and philosophy of science, alongside perspectives from spiritual traditions such as Pātañjala Yoga, Trika Śaivism of Kashmir, Vedānta, Buddhism, Christianity, Theosophy, and thinkers like Rabindranath Tagore, Swami Vivekananda, and J. Krishnamurti.

Key discussions in this volume include topics such as awareness in plants, neuroplasticity and habit, and the appropriate usage of terms like “Consciousness” and “Energy” in different contexts. The contributing scholars offer insights that build bridges of understanding, encouraging readers to explore the intersection of science and spirituality further.
