Spirience:
Experiencing Peace and Prosperity through Spirituality and Science is a unique
and comprehensive look at the importance of spirituality and science to guide
our day-to-day living at a personal level, and to achieve peace and prosperity
at a global. The term 'spirience' is a blend of two words: spirituality and
science. It captures the essence of spirituality in its prefix
"spiri-," and the domain of science in its suffix "-ence".
The
importance of such a work lies in the challenges faced by the world today,
conflicts between nations and ideologies at the global level and the explosion
of mental health issues at a personal level. The book will first set the scene
to understand the challenges faced by humanity today and the tools that we have
to overcome them. An in-depth look at the treasure trove of texts from India's
Vedic past, highlighting the spiritual as well as scientific aspects, will be
complemented by a study of the evolution of mankind over the past millennia,
changes in the way of life and the current levels of extreme discontinuity
brought on by an onrush of technological innovations.
Recommendations
for going forward will be presented for the readers to ponder and hopefully
incorporate in their personal, professional and social lives. The book will be
of great value to anyone interested in or active in personal well-being and
global peace and prosperity.

EXCERPT
Spirience: A Fusion of Experiences
By knowing a single lump of earth, you
know all objects made of earth. All changes are mere those of words . . .
Chāndogya Upaniṣad 6.1.4
Spirience is an
experience. It’s my experience, your experience, everyone’s experience. It is
an experience that celebrates the solidarity between spirituality and science.
Spirituality and science are like flowers and their fragrance; they share an
inseparable bond. When it comes to prosperity and achieving inner peace,
integrating these two fields proves immensely beneficial. Any discovery or
reflection that strays from life proves fruitless. The union of spirituality
and science forms a magnificent connection to life’s more profound experiences.
While our bodies are crafted from “star stuff,” our souls seek peace and
prosperity. We’ve all observed how deeply woven they are into the fabric of our
existence, even if only in simple ways.
Today, we live
in an era where understanding the interwoven relationship between spirituality
and science has become essential. Our connections have extended beyond our
families to include those of the larger world. We are even exploring life on
other planets, signifying our desire to expand our relationships even further.
Our existence now extends from our homes to the cosmos. Today’s human beings
see themselves as part of the universe. The ancient Indian scriptures often
mention pinḍeṣu brahmāṇḍeṣu—likening the individual self to the cosmos. The
microcosm of humankind is reflected in the macrocosm of the universe and vice
versa.
The term
“spirience” is a blend of two words: spirituality and science. It captures the
essence of spirituality in its prefix “spiri-,” and the domain of science in
its suffix “-ence.” This innovative term goes beyond its grammatical structure
to emphasize the sentiments integrated within. It represents a harmonious
fusion of life’s two great streams encapsulated in a single word that
symbolizes the profound interconnection between these two realms.
My Journey with
Spirience
My journey with
the title Spirience is deeply intertwined with a few experiences I’ve had. The
concept and title of this book took shape last year when I was in America. I
had the fortunate opportunity to witness the creation of the Swaminarayan
Akshardham complex in Robbinsville, New Jersey. Akshardham is a beacon of
spirituality and culture. While observing its construction, I was captivated by
the seamless blend of spirituality and science that expressed itself. It was as
though they were intertwined in dance to co-create a rejuvenating spring of
inspiration for all of society. It repeatedly felt as though science had lifted
spirituality on its shoulders or spirituality had extended a welcoming
invitation to science.
