The field of neuroscience has advanced our understanding of the human brain by leaps and bounds in recent decades. We now know the regions of the right and left hemispheres that are responsible for speech, movement, emotional response and other essential functions. Still, much of the brain’s complexity remains illusive and indefinable. At the center of this uncertainty is one of the most fundamental existential questions in the history of our species: what is the source of our consciousness? “The Ultimate Truth” examines the scientific clues that could enable us to isolate the core of our identity.

Nobel Prize 2022 – Universe is not real | Where quantum physics meets Vedanta
The Nobel prize for physics this year has been awarded to physicists who proved that the universe in not real. ‘The Universe is not real’ – a concept that Vedanta has been proclaiming for millenia. The latest proof to this comes from this year’s Nobel Prize winning physicists Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger. We have finally arrived at a day where we are discussing the paradoxical aspects of quantum physics that can be easily resolved by applying the principles of Advaita Vedanta. Physicists are now toying with the idea that the very purpose of the universe was to create conscious observers. Until observers appeared, the universe was in a state of quantum flux. It did not have any shape or form before observers came into being. All these sound less like physics and more in the territory of metaphysics. Is it possible to make sense of these bizarre findings? It indeed makes perfect sense when you look through the lens of Vedanta.

Talks on Sri Ramana Maharshi: Narrated by David Godman – Papaji (Parts I+II)
Description from David Godman’s YouTube channel:
While I was sitting in Annamalai Swami’s ashram, talking about various aspects of Bhagavan’s teachings, Henri Jolicoeur, the man who was filming me, asked a question about Papaji and his devotion to Krishna. What followed was an impromptu interview in which I managed to cover most aspects of Papaji’s early life and his association with Ramana Maharshi. The talk was quite a long one, so we have split this particular story into two episodes.
