Book Description
Perspectives of Science, Spirituality and Religion discusses about the interrelations between science, spirituality and meditation. It makes a critical synthesis of leaders in science, spirituality and religion. It is divided into long and short review of articles of books, authors’ own experience on meditation, mystery of plant science and other aspects. It enumerates how each field of science though appears different; they strive in one way of the other to benefit the humanity. Each field by itself though independent is accountable for the upliftment of the mankind. Scientists through research unveil the mystery of nature. Science says that every organism is made up a mass of atoms and each of which possesses some energy. Spirituality leads to the realization that universal energy is also present in each individual and organism in the universe and it is responsible for the movement of these organisms. It speaks about the presence of the divine creature in the universe responsible for the built up of the universe and all the creatures in this universe. Mediation discusses about how to harness this universal energy in changing our thoughts and attainment of stable and balanced mind. It assists in the realization of the inner consciousness and inner wisdom. For over a long period debate has been going on among different classes of scientists. In the light of the three considered together the book reviews about the three disciplines presents in brief the techniques of meditation designed for harnessing the universal source of energy. It also describes in brief about the relationship between science, religion and spirituality. It gives a few guidelines of the benefits that the meditation and spirituality can bring to the humanity. It discusses about the roles of science, spirituality and religion in the present scenarios, which are virtually accepted for being responsible for the upliftment of human beings. According to few leaders of science and spirituality, all these three disciplines should work together for benefit of human society. The book will enlighten readers about recent advances in the disciplines of science, spirituality and religion.

Science, Spirituality and the Modernization of India
Author: Makarand R. Paranjape
Publisher: Anthem Press
ISBN: 1843317761
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Spirituality played a key role in the construction of Indian modernity. While science has certainly been an agent of modernization in India and other non-Western countries, what makes Indian modernity somewhat special is that spiritual leaders have also been instrumental in the process. Moreover, leading Indian scientists and spiritualists have recognized the immense potential for dialogue between the two disciplines. Post-colonial India, with its ready access to a holistic spirituality and significant achievements in science and technology, is a fertile site for such a dialogue. Each of the book’s four sections addresses specific themes: (1) The tension not just between science and spirituality, but also between the East and West; (2) how some key figures in India became carriers of modern consciousness, and explored the relationship between science and spirituality in the very process of trying to reform their society; (3) significant areas of research in which science and spirituality are both deeply implicated; and (4) the relationship of both scientific and spiritual practice with gender and social justice.

Science, Religion and Deep Time
Author: Lowell Gustafson
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000522946
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
This book examines the meaning of religion within the scientific, evidence-based history of our known past since the big bang. While our current major religions are only centuries or millennia old, our volume discusses the origins and development of human religious practice and belief over our species’ existence of 300,000 years. The volume also connects the scientific approach to natural and social history with ancient truths of our religious ancestors using new lines of inquiry, new technologies, new modes of expression, and new concepts. It brings together insights of natural scientists, social scientists, philosophers, writers, and theologians to discuss narratives of the universe. The essays discuss that to apprehend religion scientifically, or to interpret and explain science theologically, the subject must be examined through a variety of disciplinary lenses simultaneously and raise several theoretical, philosophical, and moral problems. With a singular investigation into the meaning of religion in the context of the 13.8 billion-year history of our universe, this book will be indispensable for scholars and students of religious studies, big history, sociology and social anthropology, philosophy, and science and technology studies.

The Reenchantment of Science
Author: David Ray Griffin
Publisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 9780887067853
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
This book describes the move from modern, mechanistic science to a post-modern, organismic science. David Ray Griffin gives voice to a revisionary postmodernism, based on the work of Whitehead and Hartshorne that contrasts with the relativistic, nihilistic postmodernism of Heidegger, Derrida, and Wittgenstein. The book brings together some of todays most creative thinking about science. Griffins introductory essay summarizes the way in which the mechanistic view led to the disenchantment of science and the various reasons for the reversal of this process in our time. The essays on physics, cosmology, biology, ecology, psychosomatic medicine and parapsychology bring out the various dimensions of the reenchantment of science: the replacement of modern dualism and reductionism with an ecological, organismic paradigm; the priority of internal relations to external; the casal power of experience; the presence of experience, purpose, and intrinsic value throughout nature; influence at a distance; the laws of nature as habits; the presence of a divine whole in all the parts; and the history of the universe as a self-creative, meaningful story. This book gives a powerful voice to this emerging movements proposals for a postmodern science, spirituality, and world order.

An Analytical Approach to Spiritual Science
Author: Chris Taylor
Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1456788701
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 125
Book Description
There are several different themes running through my book but the predominant ones are as follows. One essential aspect is to assist the ordinary person in the street to find personal confirmation of the existence of the afterlife and so-called paranormal phenomena and to highlight possible procedures and methodologies of thinking to achieve this. This can enable any seeker of truth to obtain the appropriate evidence of spiritual science in their own personalized way suitable to their spiritual journey. The other major and perhaps most important theme is to establish spirituality as a science with analytical laws which are provable and can be adapted to solve any range of societal problems. This is of primary relevance not only for all political, economic and social institutions to embark upon vitally needed social reforms, but also to scientists who need to be convinced that there is one integral and holistic body of scientific truth and that what we term as spirituality is just one part of this. The vital message is that any conceivable societal problem can be solved or improved by application of a combination of these spiritual laws.
