Former monk of 20 years Sanjay C. Patel transcends the traditional conflicts between science and religion in this genuinely paradigm changing book. Breaking new ground, Patel offers evidence and a visionary exploration of a Universal and Intelligent Being—an all-encompassing presence that sustains the cosmos and cherishes all life within it. This transcendent Being, Patel reveals, has manifested itself to humanity in diverse forms throughout history, guiding and inspiring civilizations across time.
Discussions on science and religion often lag behind modern discoveries by decades, reveals Patel. They remain tied to orthodox interpretations across all faiths. These debates fail to reflect breakthrough findings about the universe, our planet, and oceanography—especially when viewed through fresh Eastern perspectives on texts like Biblical Genesis.
Past analyses have focused mainly on Mesopotamian cultures, such as the Babylonian and Sumerian, while remaining almost oblivious of Eastern viewpoints. In this groundbreaking work, Patel reveals over 20 striking parallels between ancient Hindu and Biblical traditions. He presents a unified worldview that bridges spirituality and science, aligning with modern discoveries of the 21st century.
For decades it has been known that certain Hindu beliefs are extraordinarily scientific. Says Stanford cosmologist and recipient of the 2012 Fundamental Physics Prize, Andrei Linde: “When I was studying Indian philosophy I was extremely excited that what they say sometimes is painfully close to what I think.”[1]
Patel showcases their striking resonance with ancient Biblical traditions and meticulously presents the evidence, providing references and quotations for curious minds.
Witness the extensive parallels between the Bible, ancient Hindu texts, and modern science. Whether a religious follower, spiritual skeptic, or a science enthusiast, you can contemplate these awe-inspiring convergences and their profound implications. These revelations mark a game-changing milestone in the science ‘versus’ spirituality debate, promising a world with less religious divisiveness, more appealing spiritual lifestyles, and a holistic, synergistic science.
Unlike works with religious agendas, Patel's book stands as a scholarly masterpiece, driven by twenty years of monastic dedication. It unveils hidden facts about the convergence of science, spirituality, and various faiths that are often overlooked in the narrow discourse. Prepare to be enlightened as this book sheds light on original beliefs, unveiling their stunning agreement with modern scientific discoveries.

Sanjay C Patel is a former yoga monk of 20 years. He lived at a monastery in India and has introduced yoga, spirituality, and prayer to thousands of students. His discoveries have received the highest international recognition by appearing in peer-reviewed, scientific journals. He was invited to present his findings at the prestigious International Congress of Historians of Science. He has also appeared on numerous radio programs and spoken at universities nationwide. Spirituality is winning!
Says Patel: “It is wrong for people to tell others what to think and believe. Everyone has an intellect, heart, and spirit of their own. Show them the evidence and let them arrive at their own understanding. This is the true, open spirit of spirituality.”
At age 20, seeking enlightenment, he left London, UK to live in a monastery (ashram) as a monk in the wilderness of India.
He studied Yoga and Meditation, Sanskrit, World Faiths, the Bible, and Modern Science.
He left monkhood after two decades to spread the wisdom he learned. He loved life as a monk. Now he’s loving life as a happily married man in the USA.
Sanjay also discovered a beautiful scientific explanation that completely resolves the centuries-old controversies of Noah’s Flood and Genesis’s Seven Days.
He's also an inspiring communicator who has spoken on the same platform with top keynote speakers such as Dr. Deepak Chopra and others. However, his views do not always agree with theirs.
His monumental discoveries are the result of 40 years of unpaid research and 7 years of writing.
