The Bhaktivedanta Institute Bangalore holds academic conferences on various topics often in partnership with other academic institutions or departments. These take place at various venues within Bangalore and will typically comprise a combination of invited plenary speakers and short papers selected by means of a Call for Papers.
Conference Visionary
Dr. T. D. Singh, the founding director of Bhaktivedanta Institute and a pioneer in science-spirituality dialogue, envisioned that Bangalore, being the home to many educational and research institutions and therefore fostering the intellectual manpower, is a fertile ground for promoting the interface between science and spirituality. As a part of his 80 years’ Birth Anniversary celebrations, we plan to organize the 1st Annual Conference “Fusion 2017”.
About the Conference
The' FUSION' Annual Conference hosts professionals, research scholars and students to network, share ideas, and discover new approaches in synthesizing science and spirituality. Here you’ll have access to the gathering of your peers. People who you can relate to, learn from, and actively contribute towards the holistic approach in all fields of learning in art, science, philosophy, physics, chemistry, psychology, economics, politics, etc. in the quest for ultimate reality.
The aim of the conference is to promote the interface between science and spirituality, especially to the younger generation. Students are the future of our society. They are being taught the valuable latest scientific and technological developments in various disciplines but are too often lacking the spiritual foundation. This imbalance is a major factor for unrest, unnatural habits, and suicide tendencies, as widely observed among the youth nowadays. In a humble attempt to bridge this gap, we are hosting this conference to encourage the balanced growth of scientific temper and spiritual wisdom. |

Highlights of the Conference • Keynote Address: Importance of Synthesizing Science and Spirituality in Modern India • Session I: Role of Science and Spirituality in Pursuit of Happiness • Session II: Health and Spirituality • Students Session: Integration of Science and Spirituality in the Technological Society • Panel Discussion: Need of a New Science for Holistic Development |
We are all aware that although recent advancements in science and technology have brought tremendous benefits to humanity, they have also increasingly raised ethical concerns, environmental hazards, shortage of natural resources, and nuclear war. There is a rapid deterioration of moral and ethical values, the tenets of the spiritual and religious principles of
life. This trend is a serious threat to humanity. At this critical juncture when human existence is faced with many crises, there is a great need to seek guidelines from the age-old spiritual wisdom of the scriptures to restore sanity and to improve quality of life. Thus, a full and balanced life would mean not only enhancement of the external quality of life which science promotes but, more importantly, the heightening of abiding spiritual values. In this conference, we shall try to deliberate about the importance of holistic development and the need to include applied spiritual knowledge and spiritual technology in our daily life for complete well-being and peaceful living. |
