contents <p> The rich Eastern allusions to love and altruism draw substantively complementary theoretical<br> tools from the metaphysical and theological underpinnings of the emerging scientific<br> worldview. The “cosmotheandric” vision of reality which is the core of the Hindu mystical<br> perspectives binding the perennial problematic trio of philosophy and theology, viz., God,<br> world and the human, in an intuitive matrix of communion and interrelatedness serves as<br> the solid metaphysical and conceptual foundation for an ontology of love and as the<br> universal axiomatic norm for an altruistic praxis. This religious vision is very much<br> corroborated by the metaphysical underpinnings of the recent revolutionary developments<br> in modern science especially in physics and biology. The rich Hindu metaphors of Yajna<br> (sacrifice) Dharma (Righteousness), Bhakti (Devotion), Ahimsa (Non-violence), etc., share<br> analogical regions of convergence with the scientifically coined cosmic epithets of harmony,<br> unity, symmetry, interrelatedness, etc. Thereby both science and religion can be said to have<br> become so hermeneutical and metaphorical to such hitherto unprecedented levels whereby<br> the same reality described by science as cosmic harmony is in a way addressed by the Hindu<br> mystical mind-set as the all pervading Brahman or as the all-loving Bhagavan. </p>
