Publisher's Synopsis
Scientific community, especially the physicists and cosmologists have tried to penetrate the lifeless creations of nature to find answers not only for origin of this creation called cosmos, but also for its most intriguing aspect, the generation of life and many more have also tried to find the life and death cycles of different creatures. The entire regulation or management of life cycles of trillions and trillions of creatures is such a mind boggling and massive task that the life less creations of nature would be unable to handle it but scientists and philosophers are still on the job and will continue to do so because we still have to travel millions of light years to reach and probe those corners of this universe, where even our massive telescopes and sophisticated cameras have not been able to take a shot. In the process we have made sufficient progress but still we have not been able to travel beyond the boundaries of this small planetary system, so to find answers for so many intriguing things, just by looking at these distant corners from giant telescopes may not be sufficient. We depended too much on inanimate objects to reveal the secrets of animates, without a probe of which; our journey would not be complete. But the life less creations of nature; galaxies, stars, planets, mountains, rivers, atoms and their sub atomic parts are not the only reasons of our predicament, there were other phenomenon, which have defied the scientific explanations.We are still groping in the dark whether the humans are a different species or fall in the same category of other creatures. If we recognize and appreciate the lifelong efforts of the scientists to find out the truth, which have helped us to reach this stage of modernization, we can't ignore the contributions of Prophets and sages of all religions, who also spent their entire lives in search of the same ultimate truth, may be, by adopting a different path. Our efforts to develop and experiment with Hadron Collider at CERN and other places, our journeys into space, the efforts to locate and find the source of black holes and other stars will certainly help us to some extent but we have to realize that we will have to find a harmonious blend of all these concepts and theories of science with logical and well reasoned thoughts and mystic traditions of India. We may, ultimately have to realize and acknowledge that the concept of "Apara" and "Para" energies, which as per Bhagvad Gita, permeate all living and non living things of all the Universes, and which have been termed as "Brahman" are the "Fifth" and "Sixth" Forms of energy and are worth giving a serious thought by the scientific community. The supreme is possessed of these two energies, which represent the unconscious and conscious aspect of the universe. The lower nature, called 'Apara' produces effects and modifications in the world of nature or of causes; the higher nature, called 'Para' gives rise to 'purusa' or the intelligent souls. Both of them form the nature of one supreme and are the constitutive stuff of the world.The assumptions about the nature, black holes, the relativity theories, the string theory, the initial configuration of universe after the big bang and much more and all our scientific efforts may help us to some extent but still we will need to combine the other fields of science, from biology to neuro biology, from genetics to epigenetics, and from the concepts of evolution of species, the generation of life, the difference between humans and other forms of life.The philosophies, which answer all these intricate questions, and questions of wide import, can be found in Indian philosophies in an elaborate manner. Our objective is to find out those forces, which make our brains to activate genes, switch them on and off, produce different types of proteins and in different quantities and form neuro transmitters, send signals through them and many other complicated processes, which we do.
