  Adviata  Vedanta: Unveiling the Mysteries of Quantum Physics (Part 2)   There are amazing similarities between implications of theories of modern physics and ancient Hindu philosophy as expressed in Vedas and Upanishads. The basis of Hindu philosophy is the mystical idea of Brahman. In Mundak Upanishad, knowledge is divided into two parts: Para Vidya which deals with the eternal truth that can lead to self- realization and Apara Vidya which deals with knowledge about material world. Under this classification, Physics comes under Apara Vidya. First of all, it was found that the world is not made out of rigid firm objects like billiard balls or bricks. At the atomic and sub-atomic level, it consists of fuzzy wavelike objects and lot of empty space. So, the solid nature of objects we see around is only apparent. As one goes deeper and deeper, one keeps on finding vacuum all the way. This reminds one of the ideas of shunya (Zero) (Nothingness) and Maya (illusion) cove...

   Quantum Physics in the Light of Adviata Vedanta   The nature of cause and effect was scientifically explained by Sir Isaac Newton during late seventeenth century. It was a classical mechanistic view. These ideas went through some changes with the evolution of quantum mechanics during twentieth century. Isaac Newton (1642-1727), an English Physicist and Mathematician developed the foundations of ‘Principles of Mechanics’, popularly known as ‘Newtonian Mechanics’, which became the backbone of scientific thought in ‘Physical Sciences’ for the next two centuries. Newton discussed the nature of cause and effect in his deliberations of the principles known as ‘Newton’s Laws of Motion,’ talking about the nature of forces acting between two bodies. If there is a cause, there will be an effect exactly proportional to it. This was a statement based on linearity and determinism. This statement was perfectly fine on the macroscopic level and worked extremely well on the gro...

      Understanding the realm of God ( Part 1) Everybody is familiar with word God in which G stands for Generator, O stands for Operator and D stands for Destroyer of the universe. Vedic Scriptures describes the nature and God. According to Vedas the whole universe is being originated from sound. What is sound? According to modern science, it is vibration. "If you examine the core of an atom you will realize that all matter is one." According to Advaitic conclusion, all this world is one flow of energy (shakti); everything is an electromagnetic flow, but how do we account for the manifestation of different objects? It is to be attributed to different type of vibrations. Modern nuclear science and the concepts of Einstein has arrived to the same conclusion. Where there is vibration there is a sound. Conversely, to produce a sound the vibration corresponding to it must also be created. The scientific concept that the different vibrations of the same energy are the...
