International Conference on Purāṇic and Siddhāntic Cosmology
This conference was conducted by Bhaktivedanta Institute for Higher Studies (BIHS), from Nov 4th to 6th 2022 at Govardhan Eco Village near Mumbai. It aims to be the first in a series of seminars fostering a continuous dialogue that proactively engages Vedic considerations of natural philosophy while avoiding indulgence in either excessive religious dogma or scientific rationalism . Such discourse aims to encourage an appreciation of how the cosmological descriptions found in the Purāṇic and Jyotiṣā traditions can help enhance a grander sense of reality underlying ordinary conditional experience.
