In the great debate between the scientific and the spiritual worldviews, Swami Abhayananda has scored an historical blow for the spiritual worldview in The Divine Universe. Utilizing the very theories of contemporary physics and cosmology, he presents a forceful and persuasive argument for an original and ground-breaking vision of our universe as living and Divine. "For those of us trained in science, the Divine Universe] is both enlightening and inspiring. Consciousness and energy as the Ground of Being are given a coherent and quite rationally plausible gnostic interpretation that should persuade open-minded readers of the limitiations of scientism." --Howard A. Jones, Ph.D., author of The Thoughtful Guide to God, O Books, 2006. "Anyone who has ever felt frustrated by the limitations of science, opened by the hard reality of mystical/nondual experience, inspired by the nondual teachings of Hindu, Buddhist, and Christian traditions, and skeptical of, or drawn to, astrology, will find the The Divine Universe a revelation to savor." --Jerry Katz, editor of One: Essential Writings on Nonduality, Sentient Publications, 2007; and website host of www.nonduality.com.
