"What if the Bhagavad Gita is not just scripture - but the world's oldest, most complete science of human evolution?
For centuries, the Bhagavad Gita has been read as poetry, philosophy, and prayer. In The Self, Srikant makes a bolder claim: it is a rigorous, verifiable science of consciousness that anticipated the deepest discoveries of modern biology, neuroscience, and quantum physics by thousands of years.
Drawing on Darwin, Wallace, Francis Crick, Julian Huxley, and Max Planck, alongside Vyasa, Patanjali, and Krishna, this landmark volume reveals the Gita's first six chapters as a step-by-step map of human evolution beyond the ego - from Arjuna's dejection on the battlefield of Kurukshetra to the yoga of meditation and the direct realization of the Self. Inside, you'll discover:
-Why modern biology's picture of humans as ""just neurons and molecules"" is incomplete-and what the Rishis knew that Crick missed -How free will, meditation, and selfless action are biological faculties, not just religious ideas Sanskrit verses with clear transliteration, translation, and lucid commentary-no prior knowledge required -A practical framework for turning daily work, conflict, and choice into a path of inner freedom
A must-read for seekers, scientists, yoga practitioners, and anyone who senses that consciousness is more than chemistry."
