Integration of Science and Spirituality


One of the important objectives of this mission is reinterpretation and propagation of the eternal principles of spirituality by establishing their compatibility with science. In ancient times credibility of tenets of spirituality were unquestionably acknowledged because they were advocated as spiritual proclamations and sayings of sages and prophets. Advancements in science have now so reconditioned way of thinking of the people that they accept things only after testing and examining them logically and scientifically. At Shantikunj, laboratories for research in spirituality have been established to provide scientific credibility to the claims of advantages accruing from practices like yoga and meditation. With its most modern equipment and a supporting library, research in this institution is re-establishing the relevance of the Vedic way of life for the new age.

One of the departments of the Brahmavarchas Research Institute is working to resurrect “Ayurveda” the most ancient Indian system of medicine which deals with treatment of diseases and maintenance of health by using herbs. There are quite a few specialists and post-graduate scholars associated with the research. There is yet another faculty for monitoring physical and mental vitality of human body, so that these can be appropriately utilised integral human growth.
