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!

In this episode, we explore a striking question: Are we robots? The answer may surprise you. We are not robots, yet the people we perceive around us may, in an important sense, appear to be like robots. This is a surprising conclusion, but one that follows from the line of reasoning we will develop. I invite you to listen as we carefully unfold how this remarkable idea is reached. We look forward to hear back from you! For questions or feedback please email us at jayant@stam...
In this episode, we’ll explore how speech happens. What is the process behind speaking? Who Really Chooses the Words We Speak? Because speaking comes so naturally to us, we rarely give it much thought. Yet, as we will see, the process of speech is remarkably complex and is guided and managed by intelligence in the mind. One of the most striking insights is that we do not consciously decide every word we speak; rather, the intelligence in the mind makes those choices. We will see t...
In this episode, we’ll discuss Self-Awareness (which is synomous with Brahman) is the ultimate Black Hole. We will argue that black holes, in a fundamental sense, depend on Self-Awareness—and that Self-Awareness can be understood as the ultimate, or first, “black hole.” By comparing certain properties they share, we can explore why Self-Awareness may be meaningfully described in black-hole-like terms. The purpose of this episode is to substantiate the connection between them. To d...
The mind indeed is mysterious. Nobody has seen it, but we know it exists. We have thoughts, perceptions, and emotions, and we know all this happens in the mind. So, it does exist, but where does it exist, how does it function, and how and why was it created? This episode is based on the understanding and analysis of the Mind as taught by Vedanta. We will cover the following aspects of the Mind: 1. Source of the Mind 2. Evolution of the Mind 3.&nbs...
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 ta...
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...
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. Whi...
If we look at space in terms of how much time light takes to reach us, a new perspective regarding the world opens out. Many hidden mysteries come to the fore. We begin to see that each one of us doesn’t exactly see the same object but see different versions of the same object. This indicates how the universe is actually constructed. This perspective matches with the teaching of Vedanta. After listening to this podcast, we hope you’ll see the universe from a new and fresh perspective. W...
