In the context of this post (how the pursuit of science can help in yoga), there are certain points that Binu Mukherjee made in a recent talk which deserve to be enumerated here. Binu Mukherjee grew up in the Sri Aurobindo Ashram and is currently Emeritus Professor of Physics at Royal Military College of Canada.

The entire transcript of Binu Mukherjee’s talk appears in the Golden Chain magazine, Volume 11, number 3 (May 2011), page 13 PDF available at

Hi all

I’m a cultural & evolutionary scientist obsessed with 2 ideas:

1) humans are the only species with religion

2) within our religious species, atheism comes naturally

I wrote a book on that, here’s a short with some fun book tidbits. Enjoy & share! 

Got friends into books like The God Delusion, The Righteous Mind, and The WEIRDest People in The World?

Try Disbelief, which dives in similar waters!

(& at times points out where their evidence is dodgy)

Throughout, I grapple with the inherent messiness of science

“Science fundamentally won't be distilled to rote proceduralism, of the sort that could be automatized or bureaucratized; it's far too human to be so reduced…the poetry underlying science comes from its inevitable human imperfections.”
