HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA, October 23, 2009 (by Dr. Narayana P. Bhat): Hinduism, without a centralized ecclesiastical authority, has no official position on science or any other issue. It is not based on dogmas, but is a metaphysical tradition. Science, on the other hand, is non-metaphysical.
However, central to both science and spirituality is the seeking of truth and grasping the essential nature of reality. Vedanta, the scientific and theological doctrine of Hinduism, explains that in principle there is no conflict between science and religion. In fact, the two fields are complementary.
Science seeks to enlighten our minds while spirituality seeks to awaken our hearts. Gita, one of the Hindu scriptures, points out that scientific knowledge can lead to spiritual knowledge. Gita also reiterates that physical reality and spiritual reality are ultimately inseparable, and therefore, any study of one that omits the presence of the other will create a false or incomplete body of knowledge. Each is necessary for a full fruition of the other.
