The eternal quest to understand the self, cosmos, and the ultimate reality and their purpose is a reflection of mature human creative and philosophical capabilities. While empirical human inquiries manifest as mathematics, physics, life sciences, chemistry, cosmology, etc., subjective aspects of the quest are thoroughly addressed in philosophy, ethics, moral values, psychology, etc. The most fundamental spiritual quest culminates in the following five questions: Who am I?; Why am I suffering; How can I prosper; What is the eternal goal of life? and How can one attain the eternal goal of life? A subjective projection of scientific quest also opens the paradigm to these absolute jewel questions. While spirituality asserts upon the fundamental existence of God and the most sublime quest associated to the purpose of the creation, scientific quest culminates in asserting upon the characteristic attributes of the ultimate reality. Thus, what spiritualists call as God is regarded to be the ultimate or fundamental reality by the scientific community. Finest levels of inquiry in science reflect upon subjectivity and stronger possibilities for an intelligent being to be behind the working functions of the Universe. The most striking, amazing and joyful aspect of finest scientific quest is to affirm upon a spiritual reality. Encompassing upon the fi nest aspects of scientific and spiritual quest, the present volume exhilarates readers to delve deeper into sublime knowledge associated to the meaning and purpose of life, nature of consciousness, ancient Indian science and technology, ethics, etc. Contributed by thoughtful and reputed scholars in diverse disciplines of science, technology, social sciences and the professional world.
