Consciousness:
Description: Consciousness or being conscious is part of our everyday life, every minute. We know we have consciousness but we do not know about it - What is it? From where does it arise or is it itself a fundamental aspect of reality? Consciousness is a mystery for all of us even after decades of advancement in the natural sciences and medical field. The author, Dr. T. D. Singh, is one of the renowned personalities, a pioneer and visionary who gave a new start to this field of consciousness and was instrumental in bringing consciousness under scientific investigation. He launched the ‘First International Conference on the Study of Consciousness within Science’ in 1990 at San Francisco, California. From neuroscientists to quantum physicists to psychologists including two Nobel Laureates, he brought together the most eminent minds on a common table for a serious dialogue. Dr. Singh, who underwent rigorous practice both as a firm scientist and as a profound Vedantist, has brought out some of the most precious and deeper aspects of this mystery of consciousness in this volume.

Mysticism:
Description: We are surrounded by mountains of unlimited mysteries. In any discipline, if one goes a little deeper, he encounters myriads of mystical elements. Starting from the question about the existence of cute imaginary numbers (are they really imaginary?) in mathematics, to the meaning of incomprehensible wavefunction in physics and the inaccessible origin of life in the life-sciences, just to name a few, we cannot escape mysteries around us. In fact, the developments of modern itself over the last four centuries have even opened them wider before us, as never before. In his spiritual journey, a mystic also encounters mysteries at every step and looks for answers. What are the various mysteries in physics, mathematics, life-sciences or cosmology? How does a scientist or a mystic encounter them? What paths does he take to move ahead? What guides his journey and what is the future of such a seeker? Explore these and more in this extremely precious publication, Mysticism- A Meeting Point of Science and Religion, with one of the most brilliant scientist and saint of our times, Dr. T. D. Singh Dr. Singh, who had a firsthand experience of both, with his Ph.D. in Physical Organic Chemistry from the University of California, Irvine and having undergone devout mystical training in the age-old Vaishnava Vedantic tradition of India. takes us into its depth with utmost insights and simplicity.

Science, Spirituality and Nature of Reality:
Since antiquity, many prominent thinkers of the world, from Plato to Tagore and from Newton to Einstein, have attempted to unveil the nature of reality. But reality seems always deeper than our feeble minds can comprehend. Can a combined effort of science and spirituality, the two most dominant forces of humanity, help to delve deeper into the nature of reality? This unique dialogue between Dr. T. D. Singh and Sir Roger Penrose; like the well-known East-West dialogue between Tagore and Einstein, is a sincere attempt to seek some possible answers to the question of reality. Reflecting on a wide range of topics from consciousness to cosmology and from scientific mystery to mathematical beauty, this dialogue will provide readers with useful insights in their quest for the ultimate reality. The volume highlights are:
- ● Discover the original personal views and brilliant ideas of the new Einstein of our century, enriched with Dr T. D. Singh’s exceptional wisdom and scholarship on Vedanta.
- ● Explore the nature of the ultimate reality, in the footsteps of Plato, Newton, Tagore or Einstein, but with renewed insights, born from the synergy of science and spirituality.
- ● Marvel at a wide range of topics, from consciousness to cosmology, and from scientific mystery to mathematical beauty. For your personal development and enlivenment!
Quantum Physics and Consciousness:
Description: The present volume is being brought out as a 80th Birth Anniversary commemorative volume in honor of Dr. T.D. Singh, Founder-Director of Bhaktivedanta Institute.
Starting with the thoughts of the Founding Fathers of Quantum Physics in their own words in the first section, where one will find unheard-before conclusions drawn by these renowned thinkers of all times from the mysteries of quantum physics, the book in its second section takes us further into conclusions drawn by some of the contemporary renowned scholars of our times, such as Wigner’s emphatic article on consciousness in modern physics, various paradigm shifts coming in science by Amit Goswami, analyzing state-of-art in various experiments attempted for quantum mechanics in recent times by Nobel Laureate in Physics A J Leggett and the central role of observer and free will in physics by Zurich in-depth physicist Antonie Suarez.
The third section focuses on possible connections between quantum physics and life; between physics and psychology, as Pauli and Wigner desired long ago, whereas section four traverses one more step and enters possible connections of quantum physics with spiritual wisdom and its theistic interpretations.
Explore the topics covered over a wide-range in this volume such as Objectivity, Subjectivity, Causality and Complementarity, Free Will, Consciousness, Quantum Physics, Locality, Induction, EPR-Bell Experiments, Michelson-Morley Experiment, Neuroscience, Quantum Entanglement, Quantum Biology, Vedanta.
