Author Description

THE SHIVA PARTICLE Where Ancient Wisdom Meets Quantum Frontiers What if the secrets of the cosmos were already known-written not in equations, but in mantras? What if modern physics is just beginning to uncover what ancient rishis perceived in deep states of tapasya? The Shiva Particle is a ground-breaking exploration at the intersection of Sanātana Dharma and modern science. In this visionary work, Meenakshi Rao takes the reader on an exhilarating journey through Vedic metaphysics, quantum entanglement, cosmology, consciousness, and the perennial wisdom of India's ancient seers. From the dance of Nataraja and the vibrations of Aum to the mysterious energies of prāṇa and the Higgs boson-this book bridges science and spirit in a way that is at once poetic, philosophical, and empirically grounded. With clarity and conviction, Rao weaves together the tapestry of ancient Sanskrit texts with modern discoveries in particle physics, neuroscience, epigenetics, and systems theory-revealing deep resonances between the ageless and the avant-garde. She challenges the artificial divide between the material and the mystical, arguing that the path to understanding reality lies not in opposition, but in integration. This is not a book of blind faith or dogma. It is a manifesto for a new paradigm-one where Brahman and the Big Bang are not rivals, but reflections. Where Shiva's cosmic dance is seen not only as metaphor, but as map.
