A Scientist Monk Interviews a Psychiatrist | Consciousness Podcast | Śrīla Bhakti Niskama Shanta Mahārāj, Ph.D. & Dr. Vemireddy Radhika Reddy, MD (Psychiatry)

[Dr Sumangala]

Is Mind in the Brain or the Heart? | Srila B.N. Shanta Maharaj PhD × Dr. Radhika Reddy MD | Vedānta vs Modern Science

https://youtu.be/PVEHyMXiu8c

Is the mind just a product of the brain—or does consciousness originate beyond matter?

In this captivating pre-conference podcast, Śrīla Bhakti Niskama Shanta Mahārāj, Ph.D., Sevait-President-Āchārya of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math, engages in a profound dialogue with Dr. Vemireddy Radhika Reddy, MD (Psychiatry), Registrar at Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada.

Together they explore some of the most fascinating and unresolved questions in science:

🧠 Is the mind produced by brain neurons or is the heart the true seat of consciousness?

🧬 Is our awareness merely an arithmetic sum of cellular sentience—or something fundamentally unique?

👁️ Why can’t chemicals think, feel, or know?

🕉️ How can Vedānta expand modern science’s understanding of life, mind, and identity?

🌱 Are we individuals living in a body containing trillions of living beings—or something deeper?

This rich conversation bridges neuroscience, psychiatry, consciousness studies, Vedānta, philosophy, and modern biology, offering a bold alternative to reductionistic views of life.

🎙️ This interview is part of the pre-conference series for the:

Dear Dr Sumangala,

Greetings!

This is too late to join. Otherwise I would have tried to present a paper on Rabindranath Tagore’s concept of Vedanta and Science as reflected in his writing . 

Looking forward to connecting online. 

Thanks and regards, 

Professor Dr Soma Basu
