A Hindu Perspective: Science vs. Spirituality

Oh wait. We have a rule that you can't post links until you have 30 days and 30 posts. You can PM it to me if you like, and I'll post it if I think it's appropriate.

I already do meditation/mindfulness which is quite an experience. I have my own special world I retreat into, and it's amazing how real it can feel. If you want to call that spiritual, then I'm spiritual.

The book I would recommend is Auto Biography of an Yogi by Paramhansa Yogananda. It can be found on the internet for free, don't need to pay for it. I would never recommend anything to anyone if I have not a direct experience with it. The sad fact is I have been to a temple and felt nothing, I have been to a church and felt nothing, but when I read this book I did feel something. This was the spark that made me try and qualify myself. 

Do what you will with it. Thanks.
