Introduction

Vedic Science... sounds like a combination of religion and science. But is it possible? It's hard to even visualize a connection between religion and science. It's like saying that the Law of Gravity is religion. What is religion? It is a code of conduct followed by group of people. And the source of or the person who brought about this code of conduct is the God of that religion. In fact it is more oriented in believing that particular person is a God and not following his code of conduct. And if anyone denies that the person is a God, its disaster. Why do we get angry for a person whose time has passed? Shouldn't we just feel lucky that such a person came to this world to bring a community to live in a benevolent way? And then we separate ourselves from one another. Science doesn't have such separations. Every school child is exposed to different scientific concepts to help him/her choose his/her path. It can be agricultural, biological, physics, chemistry, electrical, electronics, economical, etc the list goes on. So that's why its difficult to visualize a connection between science and religion. Religion doesn't allow you choose your path of life. If in case you do, you stamp-marked as an atheist and treated as a social outcast. Now there is a separation between science and religion. The more you believe in science, the more atheist you are considered.

But let me tell you a truth. There does exist a connection between science and religion. By this I do mean that the code of conduct you follow is a science by itself. The science of benevolence. The authors who wrote the Vedas saw natural reality and extended that reality into ways of living benevolently. Indians date the Vedic scriptures to the inception of mankind when there were no differences among people. The concepts explained in these scriptures were used and still can be used in any aspect. In my later posts, I will explain these concepts in greater detail. The reader will be brought to new reality.

So in brief, Vedic Science is a science that intelligent beings can visualize. A science of the little experiences we have on a daily basis. Science means knowing the content and mechanism of a system. So a biologist knows the contents and mechanisms of a biological system. A chemist knows the contents and mechanism of a chemical reaction or a system. An electrical engineering knows the contents/components and the mechanism of their electrical behavior in the electrical system. An economist knows the contents/parameters that drive the economical system and the mechanisms they follow. So it is ubiquitous. I can literally take the three keywords, Knowing, Contents and Mechanism to describe any field/system. Can you feel its omnipresence? I do. That is the basis of Vedic Science. So the science of benevolent living means knowing the various contents/actions and the mechanism of how they influence the benevolent way of life. My later posts will explain this science in detail.
