The primary objective of the BIHS is to develop and propagate non-physicalist scientific perspectives informed by ancient Indian philosophy. For the BIHS, consciousness is the fundamental dimension of reality. Contrary to widespread materialist ontologies, we approach consciousness as the bedrock of existence. And from this axiomatic starting point, our research explores the dynamic relationship between consciousness and the physical world, investigating the way consciousness both reveals and structures nature. By harmonizing modern science with Indian wisdom traditions, our interdisciplinary team of philosophers and scientists have published books and articles, created public-facing podcasts, and developed the content for the largest science museum in India.
