In a significant development at the 79th UN General Assembly Science Summit, the United States of KAILASA (USK) hosted a two-hour virtual session exploring the integration of indigenous knowledge into modern science. The event, which took place as part of the annual Science Summit organized by the International Science Council (ISC), attracted thousands of virtual attendees and livestream viewers.
The session, held under the auspices of The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism (SPH) Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam, delved into various aspects of ancient Hindu sciences and traditions, demonstrating their potential to complement and enhance contemporary scientific practices. This integration aligns with the summit’s objective of showcasing how science can support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Agenda 2030.
One of the key areas discussed was indigenous Hindu medicine, particularly the ancient healing practices of Ayurveda and Siddha. These holistic approaches, rooted in the Sanatana Hindu civilization, offer insights into sustainable health practices that remain relevant today. The session highlighted the use of natural sacred herbs and the importance of fasting and dietary discipline in promoting overall well-being.
Environmental conservation from a Hindu perspective was another crucial topic. The presenters emphasized Hinduism’s reverence for nature and Mother Earth, discussing how traditional practices foster environmental stewardship. KAILASA’s initiatives, such as the Clean Air Initiative and the Go Zero Waste program, were presented as examples of applying these principles to modern sustainability efforts.
The session also explored Hindu cosmology and astronomy, focusing on the Surya Siddhanta, an ancient Indian text fundamental to astronomy and mathematics. The concepts of Pindanda (microcosm) and Brahmanda (macrocosm) were explained, illustrating the interconnectedness of the universe. A notable point of discussion was the presentation of a new perspective on Einstein’s equation, suggesting that E is not equal to mc², a claim that has recently gained scientific attention.
The final segment of the session centered on the science of Power Manifestation, as revived by SPH Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam. This included discussions on awakening Kundalini Shakti, Third Eye AwakeningSM, and the Vedic sciences of levitation and teleportation. The presenters explained how these practices, when initiated by SPH, can lead to extraordinary capabilities and heightened consciousness.
This event at the UN General Assembly Science Summit represents a significant step in bridging ancient wisdom with modern scientific thought. It highlights the potential for indigenous knowledge systems to contribute to global challenges and the achievement of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. The integration of these ancient practices could have far-reaching implications for human health, environmental stewardship, and our understanding of the cosmos.
As the world grapples with complex issues ranging from climate change to public health crises, the insights shared in this session offer alternative perspectives and potential solutions rooted in millennia-old traditions. The United States of KAILASA’s participation in this global scientific forum underscores the growing recognition of the value of diverse knowledge systems in addressing contemporary challenges.
The 10th edition of the UNGA Science Summit, running from September 10-27, 2024, features over 400 sessions and 1,700 speakers across various scientific disciplines. This platform provides an opportunity for thought leaders, scientists, policymakers, and stakeholders to collaborate on pressing global issues, making the inclusion of indigenous knowledge systems particularly timely and relevant.
