Under the loving guidance of Dr. B. M. Puri 🙏🏻💖 || Nonsectarian spiritual education. Origin & nature of life & consciousness. Philosophy of science. The Princeton Bhakti Vedanta Institute’s mission is to disseminate and encourage the practical application of teachings from the Eastern Bhagavat Vedanta and Western Platonic/Hegelian wisdom traditions regarding the origin, purpose, relationship, and organic unity of nature (matter), life, consciousness, and Spirit. Such wisdom is founded in humility, tolerance, and giving respect to others without expecting it in return. Through organizing diverse educational platforms, such as international conferences, university programs, and online forums, blogs, newsletters, and websites, the Princeton BVISCS encourages the public, particularly scientists and scholars, to consider the natural synthesis of science, religion, and philosophy, and the role of consciousness in modern science.
