  1. Scriptural Wisdom

  2. A quote from Noble Laureate Nobel physicist Erwin Schrodinger ‘I am very astonished that the scientific picture of the real world around me is very deficient. It gives a lot of factual information, puts all our experience in a magnificently consistent order, but it is ghastly silent about all and sundry that is really near to our heart, that really matters to us. It cannot tell us a word about red and blue, bitter and sweet, physical pain and physical delight; it knows nothing of beautiful and ugly, good or bad, God and eternity. Science sometimes pretends to answer questions in these domains, but the answers are very often so silly that we are not inclined to take them seriously.’

  3. Is there Something beyond Science? Reality. Ex: Mind, Emotions: Medical science has no pain meter World Of Science (Gross Material Reality)

  4. How Are They Diverging Operating Platform SCIENCE SPIRITUALITY Spirit Gross Subtle

  5. How Are They Diverging Operating Platform SCIENCE SPIRITUALITY Spirit Gross Subtle

  6. PROGRESS OF KNOWLEDGE GOD BEYOND KNOWLEDGE SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE BEYOND KNOWLEDGE SCIENCE BOUNDARY (INTERFACE)

  7. KNOWLEDGE IS … KNOWLEDGE IS POROUS … Based on Assumptions Axioms GOD SCIENCE SCIENCE Leads to Incomplete understanding

  8. … AND IMPERFECT Silent about Existence Purpose Value GOD SCIENCE Faith and inquiry can Coexist Complement Reinforce

  9. 3 Possibilities in contradiction 1. Science is Wrong Ex: Darwinian Evolution 2. Science is Incomplete Ex: Big-Bang 3. Science & Vedas Observe from different Scales Ex: Vedic Cosmology

  10. How may science be incorrect or incomplete? Nonscientific extrapolation of scientific data

  11. Vedic cosmology: Understanding how science & scriptures can see from two different perspetives?

  12. White Chalk Powder + (mix) Black Charcoal Powder =Grey powder + =

  13. Same Grey Powder under microscope = Appears as White + Black Particles Which is real??????

  14. Vedic cosmology - two main sources Puranas – divine perspective JyotishaShaastras– human perspective- astronomical siddhanta – similar to info in modern cosmology Surya siddhanta- 253,000 miles Modern measurement – 252,710 miles Earth’s dia – 7840 miles compared to modern measurement of 7926.7 miles

  15. Did humans go to the moon? Three Possibilities: Humans went to a 3 D projection of Chandraloka 2. High-tech diversion by demigods. 3. Might not have gone at all

  16. 2 D projection of a 3 D object contains only a few of its actual features Space crafts cannot take us more than 3 D. So astronauts –may go to a 3 D projection of Chandraloka but not experience its higher dimension- residents, heavenly opulences etc.,

  17. If a person moves his finger from Pune to Mumbai in the map he does not experience the people and the skyscrapers.

  18. Math book says 3+3=6. 3+3≠6  surely wrong Vedic scriptures say Chandraloka is a higher dimensional planet for higher living beings. As cosmonauts didn’t experience that, we can’t know for sure where they went

  19. Where modern cosmology falls short??

  20. Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, in his book Ignited Minds, quotes Albert Einstein recalling Werner Heisenberg’s words to him: ‘You know in the West we have built a large, beautiful ship. It has all the comforts in it, but one thing is missing: it has no compass and does not know where to go.’

  21. Different things work at different levels Goal – improve external comforts and control –then science Goal – to improve internal life – then spi technology

  22. Science cannot even explain life on this planet. • It says life comes from chemicals but cannot demonstrate. It cannot explain how and why life arises?

  23. Book Vedic Cosmography and Astronomy – by Dr. Richard L.Thompson – scientist disciple of SrilaPrabhupada Classical Physics – compatible with quantum physics in the domain it was originally applied.

  24. Similarly Vedic cosmology- compatible with modern cosmology with regards to astronomical measurements and Complete due to its ability to account for higher-dimensional cosmic realms, higher living beings and ultimately the higher purpose of life.

  25. Thus Vedic scriptures offer us a more complete Cosmology

  26. THE ULTIMATE COSMIC FLIGHT

  27. Vedic culture – not against cosmic travel……. - become transcendental cosmonauts and fly beyond moon , sun, entire universe to spiritual world(our eternal home).

  28. Is sun closer to earth than moon?

  29. Vedic(Puranic literature) – • based on evolution of consciousness of the residents of the cosmos • vertical dimension(unknown to modern science) • Places planets in hierarchy according to the level of their consciousness

  30. Consider three flats….. • Flat A (ground floor) • Flat B(20th floor of the next building) • Flat C(3rd floor of another building far away from Flat A)

  31. Flat B CONCS. Flat C Flat A

  32. HORIZONTALLY Flat B is much closer to Flat A than B. DIAGONALLY Flat C is farther away from Flat A than Flat B. VERTICALLY Flat C is much closer to Flat A

  33. On the basis of hierarchy of consciousness Flat A is like Earth Flat B is like Moon Flat C is like Sun Modern Science – super speculative w.r.t cosmology • Vedic understanding – • intellectually coherent • holistic and • based on higher dimensional perspective

  34. HARIBOL!!!!! Thank you very much
