Second Annual Conference on the Convergence of Science and Spirituality


Dear Friends,
The Bhaktivedanta Institute is pleased to announce that the Second Annual Conference on the Convergence of Science and Spirituality will be held at the Iliff School of Theology, in Denver Colorado, on the 29th of September, 2007.
Renowned theologian Matt Fox will headline a group of exciting speakers. He is well known for his work on Creation Spirituality, which emphasizes the original blessing, rather than the original sin, of Catholic teachings. Dr. Fox draws alot of inspiration from Vedic texts for his work, especially with regards to the various levels of consciousness and realization.
Also speaking are Dr. Hector Rosario ( Ananatha ram dasa ) who, in his paper, will bridge the mathematician Godel's ontological arguments with the Vaishnava philosophical framework.
Dr. J.N. Srivastava, longtime supporter of the Bhaktivedanta Institute, will present a paper which is based on a scientific exploration on the nature of reality, which includes both Quantum reality and the realm of pure ideas.
Other speakers include Dr. Vic Mansfield, astrophysicist and Buddhist Scholar; Biofield pioneer Dr.Beverly Rubik; Dr. Larry Goldberg, quantum philosopher; Dr.David Trickett, Methodist minister and president of the Iliff School ofTheology, and Dr. Frank Kaufmann of the Interreligious Federation for World Peace.
We invite those who are able to, to please attend this Conference. Dr. T.D.Singh ( Bhaktisvarupa Damodar Swami ) was the inspiration for this annual conference, and this year, the Conference is to be held in his honor. Apresentation of his works and his mission will be a highlight of this Conference.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
