10. • Recent scientific discoveries seem to validate the concept of
Brahman.
• Physicists and cosmologists are close to proving that there is
one source behind the physical universe, and they call this
source the Unified Field.
• In a profound sense, Brahman, the Vedantic concept and the
Unified Field of physics appear to be synonymous.

11. THE COMING REVOLUTION
• Discoveries are being made that prove what our seers and Vedas
having been saying – we humans are far more extraordinary than
an assembly of flesh and bone
• We are not a chemical reaction but an energetic charge, living in
this cosmic creation, which is also none other than an incredible
interwoven, interconnected, underlying Energy Field!!
Albert Einstein said--------
• The Unified Energy Field is the only Reality and the Unified
Energy Field is even more fundamental than Gravitational field,
Electro-Magnetic field, nuclear and quantum fields

12. Five subtle dimensions of consciousness

Consciousness in our body is the Unified Energy that works on

13.  The word ‘Veda’, derived from the root vid (to know),
indicates a vast body of sacred and esoteric knowledge
concerning the eternal spiritual values revealed to the great
ones called rishi (men of wisdom, sages) in the depths of their
meditation.
 They are revered as the basic scriptures of Hinduism.
 The dates assigned by the various scholars vary as widely as
25,000 B.C. to 1000 B.C.

17. Evolution

18. The completion of the human DNA sequence
in the spring of 2003 coincided with the 50th
anniversary of Watson and Crick's description
of the fundamental structure of DNA.
Francis Collins told that the nucleic acid
nothing but the only language of the god.
The brains job is to maintain the physical
portion of the link, between the body and

 Tvasta , the double helix coiled serpents ( DNA ) which cannot be
destroyed- is mentioned in Rig Veda of 5000 BC , as that which gives rise
to all life in living creatures.
GENES – THE GENOME

19. Sun - Hydrogen Bond
Jupiter - Guanine (heaviest molecule)
Saturn - Adenine
Mars - Cytocine
Venus - Thymine
Mercury - Sugar
Moon - Phosphate
Rahu - DNA Polymerase
Ketu - DNA Ligase
Vedantic View of Physical Body
You are Universe within the universe
You are Brahman within the Brahman
You are as divine as Brahman

20. There are 23 types of clusters of DNA
material in the human cell nucleus, they
are called chromosomes. Nucleic acids
can also be found in the form of
messenger RNA (m-RNA), transfer RNA
(t-RNA) ribosomal RNA (r- RNA), and
mitochondrial RNA in the cytoplasm of
the cell. This 23+4=27
correspond to the 27 Nakshatras
All nucleic acids have active part
usually intercalated between inactive, non
sense, or silent part. The constellations
are similar if we consider the star and the
void between them as their active and
silent aspect respectively.

21. • Holistic integrative care addresses body, emotions, mind,
relationships and spirit.
• Holistic care addresses the person who has the disease,
rather than the disease the person has.
• We need to combine this with modern advances
• What one would call spirituality

23. • Traditions in sanatan dharma were considered
mainly as superstitions, but with the advent of
science, it is becoming evident that these
traditions are based on some scientific knowledge
and moved from generations to generations as
traditions.
• Though the common people did not know science
in it, they were following it very faithfully over
the years.

24. What we are loosing?

25. • From the very beginning, Science and spirituality were the two
methods employed by mankind to try to understand the world.
• Now, more than ever before, these two completely distinct
branches of wisdom are coming together.
• Science describes spirituality, but spirituality also describes
science. It is only through the communion of their differences that
each one may be understood and experienced.
• The Purpose of both science and spirituality is to find the unity
