About this listen

The scientific rigor, logic, and reasoning of the teachings of Vedanta, applied to some key concepts in science, will lead to the realization that they share common ground—in fact, that they are looking at the same Reality. The ancient Indian rishis had already discovered this Reality and expounded their findings in the various Upanishads and scriptures. We can learn much from Vedanta about science. For example, it helps us interpret Einstein’s Theory of Relativity and quantum physics correctly. The interconnection of science with Vedanta can bring about a dramatic change in the way we perceive and understand the universe.


The focus of the podcast is to highlight these changes, which encourage us to question the conventional understanding of the universe. So, be prepared!

  • World Is Mithya (False)
    Apr 25 2026

    In this episode, we’ll discuss the often-quoted statement in Vedanta that the World is Mithya. The Sanskrit word mithya is translated as “unreal,” “false,” or “not real.” Some take the idea a step further and interpret it to mean that the world is an illusion—reasoning that if something is unreal, it must be illusory.

    But is the world truly mithya, is it false or an illusion? We experience the world “out there.” We interact with it every day, and the objects within it appear real and tangible. We can see them, touch them, examine them, and investigate them. The world contains countless objects—from tiny atoms to vast galaxies. So how can the world be unreal, or an illusion? Are all these objects unreal? Are all of them illusory? On what basis does Vedanta teach that the world is mithya?

    Based on the teaching of Vedanta, we will try and explain what mithya really means.

    We look forward to hear back from you!

  • Cosmic Wonders Unveiled: The James Webb Space Telescope
    Apr 18 2026

    In this episode, we’ll discuss the amazing discoveries of the James Webb Space Telescope. These discoveries have shattered the foundation of the Big Bang theory.

    They have discovered that the universe is much larger than it seems. The age of the universe is 13.7 billion years, but they have discovered a galaxy which is 33 billion light years away. How is this possible?

    This episode proposes a fresh perspective for understanding the universe. It suggests that the expansion of space may be related to the stretching of the time fabric, which causes distant galaxies to appear farther away than they actually are. This optical illusion, created by nature, makes the universe seem larger than anticipated.

    We look forward to hear back from you!

  • Distinct Domains for Classical and Quantum Physics
    Apr 11 2026

    In this episode, we’ll demonstrate that classical physics and quantum physics operate in distinct domains—classical physics governs the tangible, physical world, while quantum physics pertains to the more subtle universe made up of waveforms in the mind.

    Although this may sound remarkable, we will use scientific reasoning and logical arguments to establish that this distinction is indeed factual.

    The laws of classical physics govern all the macro objects in the physical world. While the laws of quantum physics govern the waveforms which are present in the mind.

    We look forward to hear back from you!
