ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA, November 10, 2006: “The Heart’s Reason: Hinduism and Science, with V.V. Raman” airs on the Speaking of Faith via National Public Radio across the United States from November 9 through the 15th. The program is a rich global dialogue between religious thinkers and scientists of many disciplines that is often obscured by headlines of a science/religion clash. This hour Krista speaks with a voice in that dialogue, Hindu physicist Varadaraja V. Raman. Where American culture finds cognitive dissonance, Raman describes a consonance of experience. The program explores the spirituality of Hinduism and the great tradition of science, as Raman puts it, through the intersection of the two in his life. The Speaking of Faith website features an annotated guide to the radio broadcast, essays by V.V. Raman, streaming MP3’s of Indian music, explanations about its ties to Hinduism’s rich traditions and texts, and lush images of festivals devoted to the Goddess Saraswati.
