------------------------------

The progress in natural sciences and technological advancement has provided

tremendous benefits and comforts to human society. Spirituality brings

value to one's existence and it provides answers to the fundamental

questions that bother inquisitive minds. From a distance, science and

spirituality may appear contradictory, and while pursuing a career in one,

the practice of the other may appear an impediment. But, on delving deeper,

as many of our founding fathers of science experienced, one would find

that science and spirituality complement each other. They are methodologies

to understand the various facets of the Absolute Truth. Science helps in

spiritual realization. Spirituality helps in proper scientific understanding

and a balanced world-view. With a scientific outlook, a spiritualist serves

the society in a better way, and with a spiritual perspective, a scientist

better appreciates the Creator, His creations and their mysteries. Thus, a

quest for science and spirituality is always worth pursuing, and a proper

understanding of both is essential for a harmony between the self, the

society, the nation and the world.

 

This volume of the conference proceedings of the 4th All India Students'

Conference on Science and Spiritual Quest contains thoughts from 28 eminent

speakers on their quests for science and spirituality. They have pondered

deep into various areas such as genetic engineering, quantum physics,

evolutionary biology, mathematics, philosophy, economics, neuroscience,

artificial intelligence and cosmology, and have brought out many threads of

wisdom. Their realizations are a valuable source of knowledge and will

provide genuine guidance to the sincere seekers of knowledge in

their search for the deeper answers concerning life and our universe.
