At the threshold of the
twenty-first century, we are witnessing a
|
|
renewal of interest in ancient Indian sciences like Yoga, Ayurveda,
|
|
Vastushastra
etc. Though their virtues have been recognized, their full
|
|
potential is yet to be
harnessed. The outstanding feature of these sciences |
|
is a powerful theoretical
framework which is truly holistic and unifying in its
|
|
approach. Today when we
are at a stage where further growth of science
|
|
demands more interaction
and integration of hitherto isolated disciplines,
|
|
the unifying spirit and theory of
ancient Indian sciences provides inspiration.
|
| |
|
It is a common belief that
the ancient approach is not compatible
|
|
with modern are and technology.
However it is interesting to note that the
|
|
ancient Indian approach is
science also based upon the very fundamentals
|
|
of Space, Time and Motion
which the cornerstones of modern sciences.
|
|
These fundamentals therefore
provide a common platform for a dialogue
|
|
between the ancient and the modern .
|
| |
|
SpaceTime
Research Institute is an umbrella under which eminent
|
|
professionals from
diverse disciplines like Mathematics, Physics , Medicine ,
|
|
Engineering, Chemistry, Biotechnology, Yoga , Ayurveda
and Sanskrit etc.
|
|
have gathered with objective
of benefiting from this dialogue of the ancient
|
|
and the modern. While
as forthe the scientists it is an opportunity to
|
|
explore newer paradigms , from the
point ofview of the common man, one |
|
of the immediate
applications is in
the sphere of health
and sports. Space
|
|
time theory can be used in
various fields like
sports, dance, music etc. |
| |
|
SpaceTime Research Institute is an autonomous scientific
|
|
organization with legal status of Public
Charitable Trust registered in Pune,
|
|
India. Its trustees are
representatives of different walks of life: the
|
|
scientific community as well as other relevant populas.
It is financed
|
|
mainly by donations,
membership contributions and income from services
|
|
rendered. Functional and financial
autonomy provides the much needed
|
|
flexibility to the institute to take up unconventional
ideas. It thus provides
|
|
a parallel forum to the
scientific community to carry out such work which
|
|
is rarely possible within the constraints of
mainstream research.
|
| |
|
Promotion of Health is high
on the agenda of the institute. Holistic
|
|
health research and services form
the bulk of its current activities. Wide
|
|
dissemination of information
is planned in this regard. |
