  • Celebrated diplomat and prolific author Pavan Varma shine a spotlight on fascinating parallels in the development of modern science and Adi Shankara’s thought, with Shoma Chaudhury at Algebra Club.
    Adi Shankaracharya is considered the greatest seer of Hinduism. His impact on it is unparalleled. His articulation of Advaita philosophy most profound. That modern physics and the world of science are now colliding with aspects of the seer’s vision and revealing an uncanny resonance.
    This is not the Dinanath Batra School of Hinduism: this is a fact-based, insightful enquiry into the work of a genius not just ahead of his time as a philosophical thinker but with an intuitive grasp on the metaphysical shape of the universe and the nature of life.

    Algebra takes the idea of a club - a universe of the likeminded - and expands it to new paradigms. The key idea behind Algebra is to bring together a fellowship of people who believe great cities are built not just on infrastructure but a life of the mind; who understand robust and liberal societies need the oxygen of great conversation and nuanced thinking. At a time when we are increasingly surrounded by rage and noise, Algebra is that unique live and continuous space where people could go for a genuine exchange of ideas and exposure to issues; where new seeds could be sparked, fresh perspectives formed, and intelligent connections made.
    Algebra - the Arts and Ideas Club is designed to host over 60 conversations over the year with topline thinkers and practitioners from almost every discipline that impacts human affairs: politics, economy, environment, spirituality, cinema, medicine, science, technology, music, media, literature, the arts, sports, people’s movements, et al. In a line, Algebra is a space where one can meet an exciting, cutting-edge spectrum of people shaping the world in different ways. Where one can test one’s ideas, challenge one’s perspectives, and build friendships. A sort of fellowship of the curious and engaged.
    Membership to Algebra is by invitation or referral. If you know an Algebra member, ask them to put you in touch with us. For more, click HERE:

    Very much in line with Buddhist philosophy except in one or two important concept.imotional intelligence must go in hand in hand with rational outlook. Spirituality is based on our intuitive knowledge which is beyond scientific evidence. Certainly people with scientific backgrounds will never accept this.

      Thanks for the comment but beg to differ.
      Eternal is a concept steeped in Time, of having infinite *duration* and is related to *time without end* or eternity.
      Brahman is independent of time (or rather space-time) itself. Hope this clarifies.

    AADI SHANKARACHARYA (S) REVIVED SANATAN DHARMA (SD) . WHEN S WAS BORN IN 7TH CENTURY CE AD, ABOUT 80% OF INDIA WAS NDER THE INFLUENCE OF BUDDHISM & JAINISM. ALL OF INDIA FROM WEST TO EAST, NORTH & UPTO TAMIL NADU WAS UNDER RISING BUDDHISM & JAINISM, SD WAS DECLINING. IF S HAD NOT REVIVED SD WOULD HAVE BECOME EXTINCT. PRESENT 80% POPULATION OF SD BEING IN MAJORITY IN INDIA IS SOLELY DUE TO S, AVATAR OF LORD MAHESHWARA.
    S UNITED SD, RAMANUJACHARYA & MADHWACHARYA DIVIDED SD.
    HINDUS SHOULD OWE TO S FOR REVIVING SD

    Of course Adi shankara is great, no doubt at all. But for me as a vaishnava ( maadhwa) jagath guru Madhwacharya is equally great.

      Comparisons r bad. For me Madhwa philosophy is correct. For that matter vishishta vedanta is nothing but a replica of Adi shankara's advaitha. Stop all these criticisms in future pls.

    “The impersonalist philosophy is impious. It is covered atheism. My dear Pārvatī, in Kali-yuga I assume the form of a brāhmaṇa and teach this imagined impersonalist philosophy. In order to cheat the atheists, I describe the Supreme Personality of Godhead to be without form and without qualities. Similarly, in explaining Vedānta I describe the same impersonalist philosophy in order to mislead the entire population toward atheism by denying the personal form of the Lord.” (Padma Purāṇa, Uttara-khaṇḍa, 236.7-11)
