About
Ayam Ātmā Brahma · this self is Brahman.
This site grows from the mahāvākya "Ayam Ātmā Brahma" – this very self is Brahman – and from the conviction that clarity is a form of devotion.
Here, Upaniṣadic Vedānta is explored with the tools of a scientist and philosopher: careful definitions, explicit arguments, and an honest dialogue with modern physics, chemistry, and cognitive science.
Why This Site Exists
Most introductions to Vedānta either water down the teaching for Western audiences or assume familiarity with Sanskrit and traditional commentary. This site attempts a third path: rigorous fidelity to the source texts, expressed in language that a philosopher or scientist would recognize.
The goal is not to "prove" Vedānta with science, nor to dismiss science as māyā. It is simply to think clearly – to use whatever tools sharpen understanding.
