During h
is doctoral studies Dr. Bhakti Niskama Shanta met his Spiritual Master His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Goswami Maharaja (Dr. T.D. Singh) and he thereby became inspired to carry out his future works on the most fundamental topics in science such as ‘Origin of Matter and Life’, ‘Origin of Universe’, and ‘Consciousness’. He is now serving actively in Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Institute, under the able and expert guidance of his siksha Gurudev Sripad Bhakti Madhava Puri Maharaja, Ph.D. (Serving Director, Bhakti Vedanta Institute, Princeton, NJ, USA). Bhagavat Vedānta advocates that we are living in an ‘Organic Whole’ and every individual unit of this whole is meant to dedicate itself for the satisfaction of the Center–the ādi-puruṣa or primeval personal Absolute. That is the actual spiritual nature of all living entities. Dr. Shanta regularly visits different universities, colleges and institutes to deliver lectures on these topics. For last five years Dr. Shanta is actively involved in the organisation of the annual conference series “Science and Scientist” and the main theme of this conference is “The Scientist is Able of Explain Science, but Is Science Able to Explain the Scientist?”.
