Beyond Duality: How Quantum Physics and Vedanta Reveal a Unified Reality 

I have never ever watched anything like this with so much clarity and proper explanation on double slit experiment. Almost everything have been explained except what if there are more then one observer, observes it as the gentlemen had pointed out lastly. Thank you !

Probably the simplest, clearest, easiest to understand explanation of the quantum principle & it's relation to Advaita Vedanta... 🙏🙏🙏

This speech satisfied my 76 year old longing for a lucid and logical explanation on a simple but profound topic - Brahma Satyam, Jagat Mithya. Thousands of Pranams for you and for That which chanced upon an opportunity to watch your video. The highly logical New-Gen Youths should be exposed to the content of this video.

You are the superwomen in india😊

Beautiful explanation. One thing I want to add is though science is helping us to understand reality as Vedanta does yet consciousness is something beyond the intellect and has to be experienced. You leave the mind and merge into oneness when the experience happens. This cannot be experienced through intellect

Highly spiritual and establishing logical relationship of Spirituality with modern Science. Two things matter:Observer and Consciousness. Our visionary Rushis possessed both. As teacher and student of Physics(engineer as well!😊),I feel We are just beginners to observe things consciously. Great speech.Simplicity is the highest form of shopistication. Thanks for sharing. तत् त्वम असी।🙏🪔🕉️ उज्जवल धोलकिया

Good effort to explain a very complex subject... Many such events n speakers have tried and this was a successful one! Good job

Archana your wonderful explanation make me understand a very complex concept . Thank you and wish you do a lot

Superb lecture... I was totally absorbed... though I knew the things elaborated but the simplified concepts were really class...

Nice talk. Modern science discoveries are not discoveries, they are just wasting time and catching up with facts long ago established by sages in india.

Amazing talk Archanaji. Doing sravanam and manamam on pancadasi now and I can totally relate this talk to it. Thanks for sharing this with us.

👋Really it is a great way of explaining the Double Slit Experiment . Thanks for providing such a wonderful demo with deep clarification

beautifully done! simply wonderful.

Again thanks for a very good explanation. I’ve not heard of the dream state being explained the way you do it here.

Beautiful & cohesive deliberation.

So beautiful. It is great to appreciate and start thinking the Indian way. Indian thinking of consciousness make sense and can truly make peace, shanti shanti shanti

Beautifully explained ma’am, thank you very much 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Wonderful lecture, Always ur fan ma'm❤

Brilliant. Thank you so much

Explained very well

Well done bravo We youths are finally hopeful That finally Bigyana is trying to understand Adhyatma We need more scientists to come up with the discussion

Congratulations for your efforts. I add my observations in this regard. 1. In the whole observation the role of space is ignored. 2. Consciousness or intelligence i.e., Gnana is filled all over. Including electrons and particles are its products. 3. The intelligence plays its part in the evolution of the Universe. This explains the weird behaviour of electrons in the presence of observer. 4. I believe adaita vedanda gave logical explanation to everything. I am an ardent follower of this. Thank you for igniting these thoughts.

Superb lecture madam🙏🙏🙏

Thank you so much for uploading this.would also like to hear the other speakers whom you were referring to .Koti koti pranam

A human brain saying "I am conscious", or an A.I. computer saying "I am conscious", or even PRINT "I am conscious", what's the difference? It's all software, a model. As incomplete as any recipe. Where's the manufacturing, the hardware? At the deepest level, what's DOING, what is EXECUTING, what is CALCULATING?

Excellent session mam and would like to attend these kind of sessions personally..if we start thinking at quantum leval or indeapth vedanthik lelevl we can also cure lot of diseases 👌

🙏🙏🙏🙏 Madam we need a million more people like you. Is it too much to ask for?.

Again an another excellent vedio by this channel. Congratulations!

Great video and fantastic presentation. One comment: Neils Bohr and Heisenberg studied Vedas as Sanskrit was very popular among European academics. Question. Why do se see interference pattern in the first experiment when there was an observer?

I am 64 now. Was an Arts student with curiosity for science in later years. Was not very interested in our ancient philosophy and heritage. Now for the last 10 years I am getting more and more curious towards our precious scriptures. When I came to know that physics novel laureates of the twentieth century like Neils Bohr, Ervin Schrodinger, Warren Hasenburg and a large no. of world famous philosophers were so much impressed with our philosophy, I just pitied myself and my ignorance. And the more we are learning into quantum science, the more we are getting into ADWAITA VEDANTA.

You are amazing.

Such a amazing talk so clear and lucid really great work archu

Wonderful explanation of a very complicated theory in simple words 🙏 As rightly said, Vedanta and Quantum physics if work together can produce results which may be helpful to the whole humanity. As seat of Vedanta, is work happening in Indian universities in this direction?

Explanation is clear and exciting. But we missed the actual point of waves or particles that appear before camera / detector / observer. I think some information is missing. I checked Madam Archana's another video on Biocentrism where similar idea is expressed.

Maam this is brilliant..you should go through Physicist Tom Campbell and his My BIG TOE and his set of metophors of virtual reality..I think the word dream has been over used and can be a bit simplistic..just like this existence doesn't exist without a observer the virtual reality also doesn't.. these metophors explain the nature of this reality better than dream..

The first questioner is not yet answered. You said the particle the knows the other pair is been observed. It means the particle got some sense of mind.

Nice indeed. To get a glimpse of Vedanta in the language of modern science - relativity and quantum mechanics- in simple mathematics coupled with intuition pls refer the book SPACETIME AND THAT BEYOND By Unnikrishnan.

Where can I find the video related to experiment on 'deep sleep experience and its parallels with quantum physics'?

Consciousness is happening within itself as being everything that it's not in only its own capacity as knower, perceiver and experiencer.

In a dream, everything happens automatically and there is also the illusion of I. Therefore, I am an illusion. Superdeterminism is true and the process that happens in the dream is also happening at this moment. Consciousness is a process that happens automatically.

Is there any connection between ashtavakra Gita advaita vedanta,and kakbhisandi philosophy..kindly please make a video on this topic.

From the discussion, questions emerge that Is Consciousness unified or divided? Does each concious entity see wave or particle at the same time.

as a kali ma devotee, i think quantum physics comes very close to explaining ma kali. at the level of brahma-vishnu-mahesh, in the relative world, law of karma operates and einstein's relativity upholds but at the quantum level, the universe is nothing but ma kali's game of dice. law of karma ceases to operate because it is only her will and her doing that exists. what i understand from your lecture is that ma kali's love is represented as quantum entanglement. thanks for this lecture ma'am. you found a new subscriber!

in the double split experiment, is it not the scientist who observes both the particle and the wave patterns?

Hard problem of consciousness is a burning RESEARCH topic. Kashmir Shaivism has a different concept of Universe. Universe and God both are real. Spanda Karika describes Waves of Consciousness. Observer is observed explained very clearly by Jiddu Krishnamurti. Drig-Drsya-Viveka of Adi Sankara. More recently Rupert Spira in his book "The Nature of Consciousness (Essays on the Unity of Mind and Matter)" has explained very clearly AWARENESS and CONSCIOUSNESS.

Have you had a personal experience of the reality beyond duality? Can you suggest methods to do that?

This detector / camera taking role of observer and particles automatically sensing that something observing them is not clear. Particles / waves / electrons - how can they sense the observer / detector / camera ? Is it science fiction?

"Consciousness is all there is" --Dr. Tony Nader MD, PhD What is essential, though, is the direct experience of Atma, unlocalized unbounded Consciousness!!! Through Transcendental Meditation a person can transcend, or go beyond, all localized objects and thoughts to experience the Pure Consciousness (Shuddha Chaitanya) at the source of thoughts.

Mam, Vedanta says "You are not doer". Can you prepare video on that please ?

In the double split experiment when the observer sees there are two lines as the observer believes the electron is a particle. What if the observer is a child who has been taught and convinced that electron is a wave, will this influence the result?

The statement "I am consciousness" links together two ideas, "I" and "consciousness", using a mechanism called "am". As nothing fragmented is real, not-2, even "I am consciousness" is unreal, dreamt. What is prior to consciousness? What is before identification? What believes in consciousness, other than consciousness? What is Parabrahman?

Pathma ( Malesia ) A Brief on Advaita in Siddhanta Vedanta is considered as the culmination of Vedas. Similarly, Saiva Siddhanta is considered as the culmination of Saiva Agamas. It is for this reason Siddhanta is sometimes referred to as ‘Agamanta’. Unlike the Vedanta, Saiva Siddhanta considers three kind of relationship of God with the Soul. God is one with the Soul, along with the Soul, and different from the Soul. This aspect of relationship in three states (onraai, udanaai, veraai) is the Advaita relationship mentioned in Siddhanta philosophy. The three kinds of relationship of God to the soul can be explained with an analogy. The Soul is one with our physical body. Similarly God is one with the soul. The soul is along with the body and animates it. Similarly God is along with the soul and animates it. Yet the soul is different from the body. Similarly God is different from the Soul. The second Aphorism of SivaJnanaBodham speaks of the Advaita relationship in Siddhanta philosophy as follows: “The primal Being, God, is non-separable from the souls, being one with them, different from them and making them to take births and deaths ceaselessly, experiencing the fruits of the twin karma. This is done by His Sakthy who is eternally in implicit union with Him.” (Dr. K. Ganesalingam) The above is a concise summary of the similarities and differences between siddhanta and vedanta over the term advaita. As one can readily see, siddhanta is far more sophisticated, and in fact bridges non-dual, dual and plural relationships of god, soul and the world. Siddhanta is not different from vedanta, just more sophisticated in explaining the relationship of the triad. Which is why sages and scholars say vedanta is general and siddhanta is specific. This makes vedanta dated, passe, and well, obsolete, as we have moved far forward from being mere simplistic. Additionally, the explanations of the three-fold relationships within siddhanta gives rise to monistic theism (advaita isvarapada) and pluralism, although both agree on all the points, that souls are beginningless, that there is actual embodiment (sariraka) of the soul and disembodiment. In my opinion Meykandar's philosophy, insofar as the relationship between god and soul, is not pluralism but a unique monism or advaita. Kauai Aadheenam calls it 'advaita isvarapada' or monistic theism. It is non dual. At the same time since there is Isvara, a Personal God, there is dualism, and as there is padam, there is worship which makes it outright dualism as the path or marga. In the beginning there was neither existence nor non existence. Nothing was there. Suddenly Brahma and Vishnu sprang forth from Nowhere, and were wondering who they were, and from where did they come from, what they should do, and whether they should create the world, and if so, who should do it. Then they were astonished to see an infinite linga of light arise from the Nowhere. So they decided to find its origin and ends in order to prove their own greatness. Today, like the two gods, scholars want to do the same thing. They want to 'measure' god, find the ends, figure out and map the entire route, leave no mystery behind, no stone unturned. Isn't this what all philosophers do - try and 'measure' God? We are the 'gods' searching for causes and reasons for creation, and just how exactly dissolution is going to take place, all in minute detail, step by step, frame by frame detail, with ample footnotes thrown in. Even Brahma and Vishnu couldn't and surrendered in abject humility. Only then He revealed Himself to them, and even after that, the gods could not describe it for the benefit of us all, for posterity. We better do the same thing. I propose we too surrender so that He may reveal to us. It seems like a wiser idea. There is an area, the state called parasiva, which cannot be explained. In this transcendent state no one can even say if God exists or not, or if soul exists or not, let alone the relationship is one or two. In this area, it's best to leave it as an inexplicable mystery that only Rudra the Dissolver would know. The same logic applies in that matter of creation of souls and worlds. We will only end up with very logical and rational explanations but based on non falsifiable postulates. Since creation is very difficult to explain, we *might* have a better chance at exploring dissolution. Understanding cosmic dissolution may give us some understanding on creation. We observe atrophy in this universe and its logical to infer that dissolution in the world is already taking place. We are well into mahapralaya. The texts tells us that all including the gods and all iconic forms will dissolve into that great Nothingness, the inexplicable parasiva. At that point only Rudra exists, and there will be no one to ask Him any questions, like, why? There will be no one to observe what He does after absorbtion. And how long the period of rest lasts. This does not arise as time and space too will be absorbed. And whether there will be any re-creation, and if so, how exactly Rudra does it. Nobody knows. The questions don't arise as there is no one around to ask and record for posterity, and accordingly there are no answers. The same applies on creation. This is where we must stop the 'measuring'. The ends - creation and dissolution should always remain as the mysteries of god, and not as subjects of philosophies.

In philosophy, this theory is nothing but epistemological idealism. Idealism is an epistemological theory which speaks of an external object depending upon the knowing subject.-Dr.H.L.Chandrashekara,retd prof of Philosophy, university of Mysore

the consciousness we refer to is as opposed to the unconscious state , both of which are products of the brain mind derivation and which doctors test for in neurological patients . the consciousness under discussion is awareness without the burden of experience and FROM which particles= material=cognizance =sense organ perceivable existence . subtle to gross. un manifest to manifest . the transition happens by observation preceded by intent .the 2 need not be temporally synchronous. looks like it just boils down to 1 principle ie intent .

Please pardon my ignorance ..still..I'll ask. The camera takes the picture of the particles. if the interference of the energy around the particles creates the parallel patterns, Is it possible that the cameras back then could only detect particles and the not the waves? or is it possible that the position in which the camera was placed changed the pattern of dipersement? Einstein's argument of the presence of the moon sounds more logical.Also, according to science matter came into existence first followed by conscious beings..right?

🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This raises a lot of questions. Who is the speaker and what's her qualifications to talk about such deep topics as quantum physics and duality? Scientific papers go thru peer review before publication? Was there anything like that here? Who reviewed? Finally who is the audience and what was the purpose? If I read the comments on this board it is scary. These are some of the most educated and scientifically trained. Still lacks critical thinking which should be the path and the goal of science and education

Look Mandukya upanishad karika from Gaudapada, presented by Svami Sarvapriyananda. Gaudapada is father of Advaita, guru of Shankaracharya guru.

The answer is that the observed is only the projection of observer which is consciousness. So everything has the same characteristics of consciousness.

Namaste ma'am 🙏 I am a student of Sanatana philosophy, a practicing Hindu and an ardent follower of you ma'am. Could you kindly let me know which event this was, when and where it was held please...thank you and Namaste ma'am 🙏

Some one in comments suggested maya is not proper word but temporary extstance should be proper word for maya. I dont agree as drashya vision is not only thing encompassed by maya but many more things like words... Communication... Time.... Space.... So on that create plenty of illusions.... Your temporary existance is just beginning. Vedanta has many more ideas to offer to this infant conciousness studies with the help of quantum physics.

great conversation and insights mam !!but we should keep distance from pseudoscience from pure science &vedanta ...

🙏

still cant understand delayed choice experiment with entangled particles....... what in future i DO NOT observe the other pair of the entangled particle at all... using detector... will i still see particle behavior on the screen? (bcos i can technically keep postponing my detection of the green particle endlessly) how will the red particle be conscious enough to predict the future..... will that mean... entangled particles always have particle nature ( NO WAVE NATURE)....bcos, some time in the future its twin will/may be observed????

What does Roger Penrose think about all this?

Where is the center of reality?

We need a conscious observer to bring a particle into reality/existence. And so consciousness is creating this universe. But then who is creating the delusion or maya? We humans are unaware of our awareness who or what is keeping it that way?

A quantum-based language indicating that we are the ones creating this 3d manifested reality (my perspective). 🙂

Fantastic! However, it is ONLY consciousness that is conscious. Even living things are not conscious. It is Consciousness that witnesses their activities.

What is definition of consciousness? Don’t know? Not just replacing with another word? Consciousness …simple awareness…..definition?….means boundaries….not vague and indefinite

Sister, if I want to meet you where can I meet u

Watch for clear answer Robert spira and Done Hoffman video

But why vedadanta scholars don't know this explanation before quantum theory came to light

The two principles of quantum physics that you claim are not the principles of quantum physics. Universe is not real - where did that come from ? Quantum physics doesn't claim this. I myself have doctorate in Quantum field theory and I think you are misrepresentating ideas of quantum physics to say the least. By doing this you are insulting not only physics but of advait vedanta which is the epitome of spirituality and stands on its own feet. There is no need for advait vedanta to find support in physics which is merely a science of material world.

I want a pretty Indian girl just like you. TY for sharing your beauty and your mind.

So In the double-slit experiment, particles behave differently when observed. In Advaita Vedanta, it's suggested that Brahman, or God, is the ultimate observer of the universe, implying that consciousness plays a role in the behavior of particles. ??? So brahman is observing the universe ad thats why alll the particles are held up this way ?

Buddha said two thousand five hundred years ago that this world is void. He preached that consciousness is an illusion and that the world including me will be destroyed moment by moment. Everything exists in consciousness, so if consciousness is void, the whole world will end.

Everything religious scripture claims that it's already explained in them,but then why the people compare with real science, why they don't extract from their scriptures and show the world that all the present knowledge is already been known to them and why they independently put it into practice and develop required technology

If scientists are confused they wil understand if not today tomorrow , what ever whether particle physics or quantum physics it is matter only , matter is not influenced by observer s thinking . TO THE UNIVERSE IS NOT REAL IS NOT REAL ✅😂😂

Than why so many rituals n idols worshipping?

Live a life. Hinduism , Buddhism good. Dr Carl Sagan & Dr Richard Dawkins-Sun 🔆🌞 Earth 🌎🌍 .

'Observer' in quantum physics doesn't mean consciousness.

I am Hindu.

This only proves the duality of some Indian scientists. They can be brilliant and idiots at the same time. The most important word in 'not locally real' is 'local'. She conveniently skipped it😱

Vedas explored the world 197 crores years ago.Material world is not real revealed by vedas 197 crores years ago.

మీరు తెలుగువారు.మాతృభాషలో కూడా మీ వీడియోస్ డబ్ చేస్తే బాగుంటుంది అండి.

You are wonderful. Bhagavad Gita Upanishads wonderful. But all copies from Buddha

Brahman appears as world.

The argument is not sufficient. Even when the particle behaving as particles or waves the ultimate observer called the ultimate Brahman consciousness was there in the experiment atmosphere. Still something is missing. The dreamer has the inherent genetically memory or the memory acquired by external experiences, otherwise his mind blank. Dear madam this is just an effort to celebrate that we know it all already .. sorry we don’t buy this.

Shankara talked about the Tao without having access consciousness and the source. Also both advaita and quantum physics have no access to it even though they talked about it. So what's the point? It's given only for Leela otherwise observing the Leela. The observers are never the same as the doers of Leela. This doer of Leela is however a rare case. Krishna hardly had leelas in universe except a few cases. The universe was never given to him as he wasn't the doer as many claim. If he was the doer, the evolution of consciousness and matrix would have shifted hugely. Krishna could never enlighten anyone else nor advaita. Psychic skills don't mean enlightenment or not. Enlightenment doesn't mean doer of Leela or not. Doer of Leela doesn't mean it's the source but it may have the source. Books already messed up brains so a advaita folks is in a loop of advaita. They can't see anything without advaita lens and reality is neutral, non polar even though it's temporary. Maya isn't the right term but temporary existence is more appropriate. A scientist can only imagine. Donald Hoffman is an observer but he won't change the universe by his knowledge not a quantum scientist. Look at what Krishna did. Maximum of a few things.. He didn't change destroy nor create universe. He was there for a mission mahabarat and a few more. He never was staying with viswaroop 24 hours. It only occured for a short term and they didn't see that well either. The true engineering of source or God is create or destroy the unwanted. So people who just made a few changes in the matrix human world are not the same as source. No avatars can ever come that close either. Be it Shiv or narayan. Then in non duality, no Brahman either. It's all loads of circular reasoning. Why talking about Two when you don't have it active? If active inside why talk? Staged talks are way mega than a yt comment making. If you have tao or access consciousness live with it. Do what it must be done for the divine mission, complete the work be it destruction or creation. Never talk about it for credits and fans or to even make a book. You must live with it. You can never share it as your heart is not others and your karma and others karma are different even though we are one. Karma decides the entry. Not knowledge or PhD. So Jesus said to rich man, you must born again so die first! Repent and born again. He said I don't know you rich men Pharisees hypocrites, scientists Sastris, authorities etc. He also said they don't enter the, what? Krishna was the max peak of consciousness back then and still even though he had lesser leela back then. However Krishna is not the source but the holder of source to a degree it's ego to say, tao belongs to krishna. It's a free ware and that is the fact and reality. And it depends on karma. As a little clumsy person, I am also a lesser holder just as everyone else. But what makes me and Krishna or you the main difference is not knowledges or status or etc but personal karma. This is what fuels the spiritual powers if to be used for any missions. End of the day we are slaves of ideas. All ideas must be vanished before the pure inner state retrieved. Including the ideas of God or advaita or non duality or ego.

Bhagavad Gita Upanishads Buddha No birth. No atma. No rebirth. No reincarnation. No Nirvana, no moksha, no kaivalya. Born. Die. That's all. Like all animals. That's all.

😂😂😂 Rejected concepts of quantum physics….Vedanta and quantum physics have no relation…It may be give an idea that doesn’t mean quantum reality and consciousness concept (vedanta) are same…Vedanta is rejected by even buddha…

😂 But this is not what Vedanta philosophy says .... Even not Shankar. World is real World is real World is real. Why should we need to talk about Non- Reality of this World even if so. 😂😂 What good does it make to prove world is unreal, even if its proved with in this unreal world.😂😂😂😂

It is not necessary to praise Vedanta...Quantum physics will take many more years to understand.....There could be something beond Quantum level.....

“Not locally real” is quite different from saying “the Universe is Not Real”. No scientific foundation for this talk.

Sister but what about detecter ? What happened when we detecter on but not observing ?

Yoga Shastras can clearly explain all this. I m an Enlightened person & I can clearly see what you are saying.
