Human Being in Depth: A Scientific Approach to Religion

by Ranganathananda, Elva Linnea Nelson (Editor), Janet A. Walker (Foreword)

This book shows that science and religion should not be antagonistic since both relate to each other in the search for unity and truth. Swami Ranganathananda believes that the modern age demands the meeting of the challenges of life with an adequate philosophy. That adequacy can be ensured only if the philosophy achieves a happy synthesis between the physical sciences and spirituality. This is the specialty of Vedanta.

Human Being in Depth illustrates the kinship between Vedanta and modern science. Religion expounded as a verified and verifiable science has a message for all that spiritual life is a fact, that the consciousness within man is a spark of divinity, and that this same divine consciousness pervades nature and the universe of physics.

Vedanta, with its various yoga disciplines, has been explored by the author in its role in mental and spiritual development.
