Blurb:

This chapter deals with several views of the conflation of science and religion, both in research literature and in AoL. We will first address the concepts of Vedic science and the Knowledge Sutras in AoL, and then go on to present some of the Art of Living practitioners’ perspectives on SKY. We will include a short note on science and legitimation, and then analyze scientific, physical/ psychological or spiritual type of support as well as scientific support at point of ‘conversion’ for AoL respondents.
