Book Description

About the Book From the dawn of civilization man has always been interested in the mysteries of nature. But what is nature? What is it made of? With the advent of the scientific revolution from around the sixteenth century, man's thinking about nature took a sharp turn. The ancient view of nature had been dominated by the religious concept that nature is a product of God and one should respect nature and its variegated manifestations. This was, however, greatly altered with the development of modern science. The discovery of the gravitational law, the laws of physics and chemistry, the laws of mechanics - classical as well as quantum - and the laws of genetics, conceiving the big bang theory of the origin of the universe, life and so on, have significantly changed man's views about nature. But how far can we mathematize nature? Are there limits to this seemingly ever expanding horizon of unfolding hidden principles of nature? The present book is a serious attempt to closely reexamine our evolving views of nature and their limitations. Taking insights from Vedanta, it further endeavors to grasp the deeper meaning of man's relation with nature. The author, Dr. T. D. Singh, who personally witnessed the evolution of modern science for over half a century, presents in this volume some notable reflections easily accessible to the scholar and the layman alike. The readers, we hope, will find the volume as nourishing and as challenging as ever in our constant and most fascinating quest to comprehend nature.

About the Author Dr. T. D. Singh (His Holiness Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Swami) has a unique background. He is a scientist with a Ph.D. in Physical Organic Chemistry from the University of California, Irvine, USA, as well as a spiritualist in the Bhakti-Vedanta tradition of India. He has authored and edited a number of books on science and religion, including his famous dialogue with Prof. Roger Penrose: Science, Spirituality and the Nature of Reality. He is the Founder Director of the Bhaktivedanta Institute and has been one of the pioneers in advancing the dialogue between science and religion over the past three decades.

Introduction From the dawn of civilization man has always been interested in the mysteries of nature. But what is nature? The definitions of nature will be as variegated as nature itself. For generations, many thinkers have contemplated about nature with their own limited conceptions. Pascal, the French mathematician and philosopher stated, "Nature has perfections in order to show that she is the image of God." The American theologian Edwards remarked, "Nature and revelation are like God's books; each may have mysteries, but in each there are plain practical lessons for every-day duty."2 On the other hand, Goethe, the German poet and philosopher saw, "Nature is the living, visible garment of God." The Scottish philosopher, Reid stated, "The laws of nature are the rules according to which effects are produced; but there must be a law-giver a cause which operates according to these rules.
