Kriya Path
Dedicated to God and Gurus, the Hariharananda REAL Research Laboratory bridges cutting-edge science with ancient wisdom. Our work spans quantum physics, consciousness studies, and the mathematics of reality itself.
First paper accepted for Volume 1 Issue 2 of Prajnanabha: Information and Physics.
REAL updates its long term vision to include an order of dedicated monastic seekers. Draft Guidelines
On December 17, 2025 REAL observed a minute's silence in respect to Swami Asanganandaji's Shodashi Bhandara at Paramarth Niketan, Himalayas.
Opportunity deadline extended till year-end: REAL is hiring a graduate-level researcher (non-paid). Details here.
Prajnanabha Press officially launched with its first book Living Fire.
Prajnanabha Journal is now accepting submissions for Volume 1, Issue 2.
Third paper accepted for Volume 1, Issue 1 of Prajnanabha Journal.
Light revealing hidden realities
Exploring how quantum entanglement can illuminate what classical physics cannot see—a metaphor for spiritual insight piercing the veil of maya. More broadly exploring quantum metrology.
View Publications →Harnessing superposition for transformation
Investigating computational states that exist in multiple configurations simultaneously—mirroring the quantum nature of consciousness itself. More broadly investigating quantum communication systems.
View Publications →Intelligence emerging from uncertainty
Where artificial intelligence meets quantum mechanics—exploring how learning and consciousness might arise from fundamental quantum processes. More broadly, studying the applications of quantum material science.
View Publications →The vibrating fabric of existence
Reality as resonance—studying how the universe's fundamental strings echo the ancient concept of Nada Brahma (sound as ultimate reality).
View Publications →How information flows through connected systems
Mapping the mathematics of interconnection—from neural networks to cosmic consciousness, exploring how information binds reality together.
View Publications →The biological basis of awareness
Understanding consciousness at its cellular level—how individual neurons give rise to the vast symphony of subjective experience.
View Publications →Seeking the single truth beneath diversity
The physics quest for a Theory of Everything parallels the spiritual journey toward recognizing the One in the many.
View Publications →Where science and spirituality become one
The keystone of our research—demonstrating how quantum physics, consciousness studies, and yogic wisdom describe the same underlying reality from different perspectives.
View Publications →Every research category explores a different facet of the same diamond. Quantum mechanics reveals the participatory nature of observation. String theory suggests reality vibrates like Om. Network theory maps the interconnection mystics have always known. In Integration, these insights converge—showing that scientific inquiry and meditative insight are complementary paths to truth.
This isn't theory. It's practice.
| Quantum Entanglement | A phenomenon where particles remain connected regardless of distance, instantly affecting each other—similar to how consciousness transcends spatial boundaries in deep meditation. |
| Superposition | A quantum system's ability to exist in multiple states simultaneously until observed—reflecting how awareness can hold paradoxes before conceptual collapse. |
| String Theory | A theoretical framework proposing that fundamental particles are vibrating strings—resonating with the Vedic concept of creation through primordial sound. |
| Network Information Theory | Mathematical study of how information flows through connected systems—applicable to both neural networks and the fabric of consciousness itself. |
| Quantum Machine Learning | Using quantum mechanical principles to enhance artificial intelligence—exploring whether consciousness itself might emerge from quantum processes. |
| Unification | The physics goal of combining all forces into one theory—paralleling the spiritual realization of non-duality (advaita). |
| Observer Effect | The quantum principle that observation affects reality—validating ancient teachings that consciousness and cosmos are inseparable. |
| Integration | The synthesis of scientific and spiritual frameworks into a unified understanding of reality—the culmination of REAL Institute's research mission. |
Understanding these concepts intellectually is just the beginning. Direct experience through meditation reveals what equations can only hint at.
