Description
In this path breaking book, Keshav Dev Verma builds a bridge between modern science and the realm of Vedic Science so that modern scientists can traverse the universe of truth they are in search of. To the students and researchers of Vedas, Darshanas and Indian Shastras, this book provides the much-needed backdrop of modern science to strikingly see the relevance of Vedic Science today.
For the first time, Keshav Dev Verma defines the fundamental building blocks of Vedic model of nature of reality such as ?Purusha?, ?Orakriti?, ?Mahat?, ?Ahankara?, ?Tanmatras? and ?Oanca Mahabhutras? based on the great works of Yaska. The author has specifically focused on the elements of creation enumerated by ?Sankhya? that presents a complete and consistent structure of Vedic Physics. In this process, the author throws light on the Vedic theory of creation of universe as well as its dissolution, the two questions that have so far eluded modern science.
The author then not only poses the fundamental questions posed by Stephen Hawking which modern science is unable to answer, but also dares to answer them based on the Vedic Physics introduced by him. This is a bold and brave book that will evoke and provoke both modern scientists as well as researchers of ancient Shastras to test their models in the light of the Vedic model which the author believes is the only valid and irrefutable model of reality.
