International Journal on Eternal Wisdom and Contemporary Science

The June 2026 issue of the International Journal on Eternal Wisdom and Contemporary Science (IJEWCS) presents a deeply reflective and intellectually courageous collection of articles that seek to reconnect contemporary scientific inquiry with the enduring insights of ancient wisdom traditions. The contributions in this issue do not merely attempt interdisciplinary dialogue; they invite readers into a more profound contemplation of consciousness, sustainability, wellbeing, technology, ethics, and the future of humanity itself.

In “The Ecology of Time: Why Civilisations Collapse When They Fall Out of Phase with Nature”, Prof. Ajay Chaturvedi and Prof. Laxmidhar Behera offer a powerful civilizational critique by arguing that the sustainability crisis may fundamentally arise from humanity’s increasing separation from nature’s regenerative rhythms. Their work reminds us that true sustainability may require not only technological solutions, but also a transformation in our relationship with time itself. 

Dr. Jayashree Aanand Gajjam, in “Metacognition in the Upaniṣads”, beautifully reconnects modern educational psychology with the reflective pedagogical traditions of the Upaniṣads. Her work gently reminds educators and learners alike that true education is not merely the accumulation of information, but also the cultivation of self-awareness, introspection, and wisdom. 

The paper “Primacy of Universal-Consciousness: Convergence of Experimental and Experiential Knowledge to Reveal a Unified Picture” by Manish Pajan and Switi Gupta contributes meaningfully to the growing global discourse on consciousness studies. This cross-disciplinary study corroborates the idea that consciousness is an inherent attribute of an independently existing foundational layer of the universe. 

An especially ambitious contribution comes from Rameshchandra B. Ketharaju through “Kāraṇa-Lakṣaṇa Networks: A Formal Framework for Multi-State Probabilistic Inference Grounded in Nyāya, Sāṃkhya, and Vedāntic Epistemological Traditions”. The paper reflects a rare intellectual boldness in attempting to expand the foundations of quantum physics itself. 

Equally thought-provoking is Dasari Narasimha’s paper “Consciousness-Based Human Goals: Puruṣārthas in Critique of the UN Sustainable Development Goals” His contribution courageously asks whether modern development frameworks may have overlooked deeper ontological and civilizational dimensions of human life. 

In “The Algorithmic Mirror: RNG-Embedded AI as the Final Catalyst for Collective Self-Realization”, Tanay Bansal explores the evolving relationship between artificial intelligence, collective consciousness, and self-realization. The paper stands out for its imaginative yet philosophical engagement with emerging technologies and their possible role in humanity’s future evolution. 

The issue also carries deeply humane and practical contributions. Dr. Suneetha B Manyam and co-authors, in “Conscious Living Through Compassion, and Mindfulness: Vital Elements of Holistic Wellness for Healthcare Professionals and Counselors” address burnout and holistic wellness among healthcare professionals with warmth and sensitivity. The contemplative contribution by Dr. Venkatachalam Chandrasekaran titled Understanding “That Which Lies Beyond Our Worldly Knowledge” gently invites readers to reflect upon Maya, Karma, Free Will, and the ultimate nature of existence. Similarly, Deepa Charkavarthy’s work on heritage temples in “Reinstating Heritage Temples as Kṣetra for Spiritual Growth” beautifully reimagines sacred spaces as living centres for inner transformation and spiritual recalibration. 

Important contemporary concerns are also explored through Dr. Komal’s insightful discussion on air pollution and Prāṇāyāma practice titled “Air Pollution and its Possible Impact on Pranayama Practice”, and Captain Alavandar Mohan’s reflective exploration in “Panchagni Vidya and Genetically Modified Seeds”. These contributions remind readers that questions of health, ecology, food, and spirituality are deeply interconnected. 

Finally, in “Atharvaveda Sūkta 1.22 and the Concept of Hyperbiliverdinemia: A Textual Study in Dialogue with Modern Biomedicine” Dr. N. Sridhar highlights the relevance of re-examining traditional texts not merely as cultural artifacts but as repositories of proto scientific insight, offering valuable conceptual frameworks for integrative and interdisciplinary research.

Collectively, the articles in this issue demonstrate that eternal wisdom and contemporary science need not stand in opposition. Rather, when approached with humility, openness, and sincerity, they may together illuminate deeper pathways toward human flourishing, inner balance, and collective wellbeing. We express our heartfelt gratitude to all authors, reviewers, and readers for being part of this meaningful intellectual journey.
