Bringing Spirit Back In, the Vedic Way

Author

Listed:
  • Ramashray Roy

Abstract

The author engages with recent attempts to develop an Indian psychology and develops a strong case for a spiritual psychology. The article discusses the evolution of the science in the West to point out that spirituality fell by the wayside because modern science accepted a model of man which denies its connection with the divine. Modern Indian psychology has also adopted this approach. Vedic texts are privileged by the author to argue for the fusion of psychological science and spirituality which are seen as complementary and also to understand human psyche and consciousness better.
