ABSTRACT

Over the past decades, following the revolutionary scientific contributions to the theory of Einstein’s relativity and quantum physics many scholars both in India and outside have been inspired to seek parallels between world views of ancient philosophies like Vedanta and modern physics. Our aim is not to discover the findings of modern physics in Vedanta or to show how modern physics can also be claimed as “spiritual”. On the contrary, an attempt has been made to critically analyze the claims of convergence between various concepts in modern physics and those discussed in our ageold Indian traditions. We have identified several pertinent concepts that are relevant to this comparison in modern physics.
