Description:
Enlightenment or Self-realization is a concept often discussed in spiritual traditions, but does modern science acknowledge such a state? Is it scientifically possible for an individual to exist without the ego, as described by sages like Ramana Maharshi, who stated that "the mind is dead" in such a state? Until now, science has dismissed the possibility of such an experience, as no medical or psychological text has ever described a condition in which life continues without egoic identity.

In The Science of Enlightenment, Dr. Nitin M. Trasi offers a groundbreaking perspective, scientifically explaining the phenomenon of Enlightenment and reconciling it with conventional spiritual teachings. A practicing medical doctor, the author provides an insider’s account of mystical realization, described with precise scientific terminology and psychological clarity. He differentiates between states of trance and true Liberation while addressing common misconceptions about spiritual awakening.

This book also presents a rational perspective on traditional spiritual paths, including Bhakti, Karma, and Jnana Yoga, and explores the teachings of major traditions, such as Advaita Vedanta, Buddhism, Sufism, Christianity, Taoism, and Zen. The philosophies of revered figures such as Kabir, J. Krishnamurti, and Sri Ramana Maharshi are woven into a unified understanding, forming a philosophia perennis—a perennial philosophy of enlightenment.

With practical answers to commonly asked questions about the spiritual path, The Science of Enlightenment serves as both an introductory guide and an extensive encyclopedia on spirituality. Written in a scientific yet accessible manner, it is an essential read for seekers, researchers in science and religion, and anyone curious about the nature of consciousness and ultimate truth.
