Can "Science, Religion & Spirituality" co-exist?
nep
There are books on god and religion, and on spirituality. There are
books for and against evolution and creation. But this is one book
that presents reconciliation between science and religion. A rare
blend that brings science and spirituality together which are
generally treated as oil and water. This is also a book that looks on
Science, religion and spirituality from Eastern and Western point of
view.
In the past, East has lived religiously-- that is one pole-- and
because it has lived religiously it has not been able to produce good
science. The West has lived scientifically, and because of its science
it has lost track of religion and spirituality. Now for the first time
in this space age and internet, the East is no more East and the West
is no more West. The earth is becoming one: the earth is becoming one
global village. This is the time when the reconciliation between
science and religion can be seen, can be understood.
Truth cannot contradict itself. Truth from science and truth from
God/Religion must eventually converge into one grand whole, a unified
knowledge of the laws that govern our universe. Those who fight over
superiority of one over the other are blinded by ignorance about both.
Easterner or Westerner, the reader will have a fresh perspective about
science, religion, and spirituality. It is easy to read book that
changes your outlook towards religion and spirituality.
Dr. Sukhraj S. Dhillon has an advanced degree in life sciences and
molecular biology from the West, and a fascination with yoga,
breathing, religion, and spirituality from the East, crafted out of
studies at Yale University, U.S.A., and Punjab University, India.
Therefore, he presents quite successfully: Eastern and Western
synthesis of science, religion, and spirituality.
The book consists of nine chapters and each chapter starts with an
appropriate quote by some famous spiritualist, divine personality,
prophet, philosopher or by the author itself: Chapter 1, The Power of
Spirituality; Chapter 2, Religious Practices and New Consciousness;
Chapter 3, The Universal Divine Mind; Chapter 4, A Free Mind; Chapter
5, Spiritual Living I; Chapter 6, Spiritual Living II; Chapter 7, God
and Spirit; Chapter 8, Evil–The Absence of Goodness; Chapter 9, Full
Living. The chapters precede by `A Word' of introduction, and are
followed by `Test of Your spirituality Level,' and References.
The book introduction starts with a popular quote by Albert Einstein:
"Religion without science is blind. Science without religion is lame"
However, Dr. Dhillon goes even further to prove reconciliation between
science and religion.
`Science, Religion & Spirituality' is written at a time when youth is
returning to a kind of religion where spirituality is on the rise.
There is no longer value in articles with titles such as "Is God
Dead?" Today we are using science to complement our spirituality. With
this new notion the book combines Eastern religious traditions and
Western scientific knowledge to develop practical spirituality. There
is practical information on how to observe the mind, to live in
gratitude, and to discard expectations. The book describes benefits of
focusing on our spiritual-self that leads to tranquility, increased
production, a resurgence of vitality, mental clarity, and joy of
living. There is even a test to know your spirituality level.
There are 3 chapters that describe: How concept of god and
spirituality help us coping with stress. These describe virtues such
as surrender, forgiveness, prayer, positive thinking, and control over
mind. There is information about relieving fear of death and disease,
and creating a state of mind without fear. Concept of soul and
reincarnation, evil, hell, and heaven are explained from both
scientific and religious point of view. There is another chapter on:
How our attitude and actions are related to pain and pleasure, love,
friendship, and happiness.
This book is not about creating a new religion, sect or movement, but
in fact emphasizes about loving every religion. An understanding of
science, religion, and spirituality will put us on a road to love and
happiness irrespective of our faith.
Book is now Available (for individuals and libraries) from Amazon and
other Book Sellers, and the publisher who makes its books available in
both the United States and Europe through all bookstores.
