Values and Human Freedom

This book awaiting publication is a study of values and their relevance in human evolution and progress. There prevails a misconception as a result of the materialistic logic that values observed by man are just expressions of social contracts that took shape by a slow process of social adjustments. This is an unscientific view. When we study Nature and observe the subhuman levels we find the prevalence of value systems that maintain a certain balance in the world of life. A cultural evolution had certainly taken place along with the organic evolution, about which the earlier theorists could not devote ample time for studies. However, the observations of many of the modern biologists reflect their growing awareness of this fact. Hindu philosophy is based on a great scheme of evolution that took place from the subtlest Reality through various stages in the expression of the physical universe, in which consciousness and values are integral parts. This book that integrates ancient insights and modern biological knowledge is an illuminating study of the relevance of values in the evolution and progress of mankind.

Yogasutras of Patanjali

The Yogasutras is a science of sciences. It is to be said that where Charles Darwin’s Theory of Organic Evolution ends, Patanjali’s Yogasutras begins. Darwin’ s line of evolutions take into account only the mechanistic factors that are involved were involved in evolution such as showed the natural selection, survival of the fittest, etc. During his time, the very important branch of biology, did not take shape, which happens to come closer to the Vedantic concept of vaasanas, the latent subtle impressions that result in the manifestation of life. Yogasutras form a higher science that can complement modern biology to take humanity to higher stages of meaningful existence, beyond the mechanistic rut in which the materialistic aspect of science is binding the human mind. This book in the form of questions and answers clears the modern doubts while expounding this super-science of human evolution and Liberation.
