________________ JAIN AGAMA IN CONTEXT TO SCIENCE A Russian astrologer believes that “There are 7000 more planets than what we know with intelligent people living there." In short, Indian scientists should research the different branches of science such as geology, physics, biology, atomic science, geography and astrology by invariably taking the base of ancient philosophers and scriptures. If that happens, then Indian scientists can provide an invaluable gift to the field of science. In the last century, the Russian couple Kirliyan and an Indian scientist Dr.Dutta invented the photography of aura (leshya) and informed the world what Lord Mahāvīra preached 2500 years ago about the aura is true and that every living being and matter has an aura. Common man may get fascinated by the discoveries of the modern day science and look for scientific reasoning in everything. However, the science itself curiously looks at the spiritual world and the preaching of spiritual leaders and is just eager to research and prove it scientifically. By discoveries from such curiosity, science has realized one truth that 'After the death of the body, something lives eternally: Based on few recent discoveries, Vera Stanley Alder wrote in the 'Findings of the third eye' that there is a possibility that scientific discovery and preaching of ancient spiritual scholars will coincide with each other. The only difference among them could be of how it is described and how it is presented. Science takes help of such knowledge to resolve the mysteries of this world and tries to stamp them as scientific findings. Therefore, the intelligent human race is getting fascinated by these findings and getting distanced from the spiritual world, and hence, in such a state it is natural that the above said words will grab the attention of anyone. If these truths explained by scholars after studying the scriptures are certified by science then people will have more faith in preception (religion).
