Introduction
We could do no better than mention what Ralph Waldo Trine has to say in his book “What All the World’s A-Seeking.” He is referring to the eternal quest for Truth.
Truth must be the basis of Science and Religion.
There is great confusion and violence in the world. There is every form of revolt and many explanations for these revolts. Then there are starving millions; there is suppression under great tyrannies and there is much social injustice. When one is aware of all this one is confused; uncertain as to what to do, what to think, what part to play.
In the Rig Veda, the Hymn 1.18 by Rishi Medhatitih gives an earliest indication that Mantra means Brahma. Thus, in 1.18.1, the Rishi appeals:
Somanam svaranam krnuhi brahmanaspate kakshivantam ya aushijah, which means, O Lord of the mantras, make me, who pours the Soma, come in the light, me who knows the mystery and who is born of lustre.
What is Consciousness?
With reference the opening invocation we talked of consciousness, to imply that it is of paramount importance. Hence at every religious occasion we have to resolve in the beginning that we are aware of every act we are performing and are not a routine affair. If we are not so aware, our organs will be doing something and our mind will be involved in some other thoughts. It then becomes a futile activity.

Science in Religion
1. Genesis
A few thousand years ago, there were no nations or national boundaries. The concept of a nation and national boundary was of western origin within the last two thousand years. The advent of Muslims before Christians implanted this idea in the Indian mind. To combat their onslaught and contain Buddhism, Hinduism was invented. We are talking of a period long before that. There were some 400+ superhuman beings, 25 of them were women.

Please read the blog carefully and offer your comments or ask for clarification.
We have to see the limitation in the existing order of things in order to transform the defects. This is the first such attempt. More will follow.
Will also offer thought provoking answers to your querries.
