In the Vedic view, the universe meaning created from the creator’s person through a creative act. The creation can thus be understood as the process of creativity. This book describes the Vedic theory of creation as an act of meaning creation through conscious activity. Creation follows the steps of psychological processes involved in...

This work presents a Semantic Interpretation of Quantum Theory where atomic objects are treated as symbols. Problems of statistics, uncertainty, and non-locality are solved in the symbolic view. It covers a range of topics, such as the origin of probabilities, how quantum experiments should be seen as measuring many different properties through...

This book argues that religion and science will not be opposed, not even different, but identical from a Vedic philosophical view, when science is redefined as the study of symbols with meanings rather than meaningless objects. It covers a wide set of topics ranging from the nature of free will, how God is both transcendent and immanent in the...

This book reconciles the age-old conflict between free will and determinism, showing that science needs a notion of causality that incorporates not just effects but also consequences of actions. The universe is shown to be deterministic in the events but enables free choices about participating in these events. These choices, however, come with...

This book describes Vedic cosmology in light of the Vedic theory of matter called Sāńkhya, presenting how a different view of space, time, matter, causality, and lawfulness changes the model of the cosmos, even when observations are unchanged. It discusses various aspects of cosmology ranging from hierarchies of space and the cycles of time,...

This book discusses the three aspects of the soul called ananda (emotion), chit (cognition), and sat (relations) and describes how they play complementary roles in creating experience, and why they must always be combined. The combination produces inner conflicts and contradictions which are then resolved by a choice that creates a...

This work shows why all the ideas underlying atheism—reduction, evolution, determinism, materialism, and relativism—are false, and why a new science of meanings in matter will entail a new understanding of God. God in this new understanding is not just a being who controls the world, but also one who creates the world from His person. Like...

The book discusses the foundational ideas of the Varṇa system in the context of modern social, economic, and political theories showing how stability is more important than growth, how localization is more important than globalization, and how society organized hierarchically based on merit is better than one where everyone pretends to have...

The book draws from the functionalist theories of organizations which treat it as an organism and discusses how they comprise objects, structure, and intention, but the conflict between these three causes organizations to evolve. It discusses a minimal complete structure of four functional divisions, organized across seven levels, which evolve...

It is well-known that no present theory of reality is both consistent and complete. As we make the description of reality more complete, we get more contradictions. To resolve these contradictions, we can remove some aspects of reality, resulting in incompleteness. This book discusses how Vedānta Sūtras present a semantic conception of...

This book defines God as perfection and discusses the 12 attributes that constitute perfection. These 12 attributes are consistent, complete, simple, parsimonious, necessary, sufficient, empirical, rational, operational, instrumental, stable, and novel. They divide into six pairs of antinomies, called knowledge, beauty, renunciation, power,...

Yoga is one of the Six Systems of Vedic philosophy, and Yoga Sūtra is the oldest and most authoritative text on this philosophy.

To achieve this goal, the Yoga Sūtra describes an...

Vaiśeṣika is one of the Six Systems of Vedic philosophy, and Vaiśeṣika Sūtra is the oldest and most authoritative text on this philosophy. This book translates and comments on this ancient text. Vaiśeṣika describes all things in the world as Padārtha—pada denotes a symbol and artha denotes its meaning. These symbols of meaning are...
