The Science of the Rishis

“The Science of the Rishis is a wonderful resource for anyone interested in furthering their knowledge of this ancient religion. Vanamali beautifully simplifies Hinduism’s complex concepts and treatises into digestible chapters that offer something new for both the expert and the uninitiated.” * Nitya Menon, first secretary, Embassy of the Republic of Singapore, Washington, D.C. *“Vanamali’s writing is a Pancajanya,inviting all bharatas to bask in the luminous wisdom of their venerable heritage. Mataji’s writing is a divinely inspired, ecstatic pilgrimage to the feet of India’s great rishis. Vanamali passionately illuminates the rishis liberating revelations as the Himalayan summit of human consciousness, with an unparalleled power to transform men and women into gods and goddesses!” * Bruce Burger, founder of Heartwood Institute and author of Esoteric Anatomy: The Body as Consciousne *“The Science of the Rishis is informative, inspirational, and a compelling read. I would recommend it to any serious student of Hinduism as well as a casual reader who is trying to broaden his knowledge.” * Gopinath Pillai, ambassador at large, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Singapore *“Vanamali is an outstanding teacher of Vedanta and an eminent scholar having dedicated her entire life for the cause of Sanatana Dharma. The book is a treasure for posterity.” * Rama Narayanan, private secretary to chairman, Public Accounts Committee Parliament of India *”It’s not often that you read about Newton’s third law of motion and karma in the same book. But for Hindu contemplative Vanamali the two are intimately related. … she makes a passionate, and sometimes lyrical, case for the connections between ancient Indian wisdom and contemporary scholarship…“ * Publishers Weekly, January 2015 *
