RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat Says There Is No Conflict Between Science and Dharma
Bhagwat Emphasizes That Science and Spirituality Seek the Same Ultimate Truth Through Different Paths
Tirupati, Dec 26: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday asserted that there is no conflict between science and dharma, highlighting that both ultimately aim to understand the same truth, albeit through different methods.
Speaking at the Bharatiya Vigyan Sammelan, Bhagwat clarified that dharma is often misunderstood as religion, while in reality, it is the “science governing the functioning of creation.”
“Dharma is not religion. It is the law by which creation runs. Whether one accepts it or not, no one can function outside it,” he said, adding that an imbalance in dharma can lead to destruction.
Bhagwat noted that science has historically maintained a distance from dharma, assuming it falls outside scientific inquiry a stance he described as fundamentally incorrect. He explained that while the methodologies of science and spirituality differ, their ultimate goal is the same: discovering the truth.
“There is no conflict between science and dharma or spirituality. The methodologies may differ, but the destination is the same knowing the truth,” he remarked.
