"The great spiritual texts such as the Vedas, Upanishads, Gitas, Brahamanas, Braham Sutra, Yoga Sutra, Tantra Sutra, Ayurveda etc. are guiding us with zeal to rise from mundane life to blissful, spiritual and healthy life and with utmost care inspiring us to serve the society with the light that has been bestowed on us. The present society is facing a big chasm - on one hand, the development of science and technology that are offering amenities which in many cases have grown to a monstrous proportion proving burdensome in possessing and using, backfiring on us to an order of pushing us to the brim of extinction and on the other hand, increasing stupendously our intelligence and competitive aptitude shocking us with huge mental and physical exertion with a tempt to excel for a better pasture, clearly, some of us are rolling towards becoming mad, extremist or suicidal nut. The higher ambition, expectation and applause are only grooming us to be more haughty, crooked, deceitful and dangerous not only for ourselves but also for the whole society. But the scientific development has also provided us the light towards truth and reality brought us closer to each other and to ourselves, has shown a golden horizon towards the realization of ideal state of equality and with a great surprise gradually inching towards the self-governance and soul-governance. All the spiritual texts are now re-visited, reauthenticated and revitalized under the light of scientific researches.

The glittering light of our enthusiasm of hyper-modernity is now fading fast with growing exudes of regular frustration, hot arguments, scuffle and struggle from our confused hypocritic mind which on wider panorama turning into destructive national and international war. With slight provocation and misjudgment the atomic and sub-atomic wars could ensue which would engulf the life on the earth. The only hope is the confluence of science and spiritualism which could raise us from self-weakness to self- empowerment, from self-condemnation to self-confidence and from self- ignorance to self-deliverance. O, children of God! be mature to be God-self. A bright future is awaiting for you, a better choice, opportunity and hope would do the wonder, leave the rest unseen part to the unseen player."

Yush Maharaj, previously known as Subhash Chandra Roy, was born on 6th February, 1966 at 10.00 p.m. in a village called Palangi (maternal home) in Giridih district, Jharkhand state, India. His paternal home is in Yogidih in Deoghar district, Jharkhand state. His mother Smt. Yashoda Devi and his father Shri Abinash Chandra Roy brought him up in Bokaro Steel City along with his two younger brothers named Niranjan Roy and Manoranjan Roy. He received his intermediate level education from Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 2, Bokaro Steel City, Jharkhand and then graduated in Botany in 1988 from Hansraj College, Delhi University. He is married to Amrita Niketan, the daughter of Shri Shaligram Singh and Smt. Anita Devi. He has two children named Shivam and Prashant.

Yush Maharaj established a scientific religious society for the propagation of scientific religious philosophy and practice. He has founded Shri Lakheshwar Brahm Ayurveda Trust to encourage research in health. The Ashram is engaged in yoga, meditation and naturopathy. Yush Maharaj is engaged in delivering religious discourses, imparting training to disciples, guiding and motivating the common man to live life according to Sanatan Dharma. He has started a political movement for the establishment of compucracy (direct rule by the people without any role of representatives by the aid of smart-phone and computer), proportional socialism (the distribution of wealth between the richest of the nation and poorest of the nation should be in the ratio of 20: 1) and digital currency and brain scan system for the eradication of corruption in public life and to propagate these ideas, he has established a political party called Jantaraj Party. He is engaged in social services through participation in various social movements organized by social institutions.

His literary works are: The Metamorphosis of Life, Remove Democracy Bring Compucracy, The Light of the World and The Divine Shower (English); Naw Jiwan Ki Or, Dharam Ka Vijnyan, Tankar, Shakshatkar, Shantipath, Yog Shiromani and Ritu Ritam (Hindi).

Today's catch word is science, the only perspective with respect to which every state and expression is judged, be it philosophy or religion. That any subject claimed to be beyond the realm of science is also explained by it is only suggestive of its over-bearance and over-reliance on everything. Science has gained confidence and faith because of its commitment towards truth and utility based on experimentations, hypotheses, principles and theories with objectivity and universality. Philosophy is mysterious, complex and too abstract for the common man to even be superficially popular, and thus too far-fetched in its comprehension and utility. A common man knows that he can live without aligning to and understanding philosophy but cannot survive without science so he also nods in favour of science. But Philosophy is a hard attraction for intellectuals because it is no untruth that a person cannot be called an intellectual till he is home in Philosophy. It raises your intellect to higher plane from where the intellect- radiance focuses on every unit of existence and challenges one to extract the truth, inter-relationship and solution. That which seems a puzzle and problem to an ordinary mind is a cakewalk and solution for philosophers. Science converts abstract philosophy into visible reality and provides the base for philosophy for further philosophization. Science brings the means to life, Philosophy brings meaning to life. Science prompts for calculation and calculation prompts for speculation and visualization, which if prompted for better calculation is called Philosophy. One is the function of calculative mind, another is the function of speculative mind, the abstract mind. Both are the functions of mind and lose their identities when mind ceases to function. We ultimately have to find out that factor of which the mind is the function of. This factor is consciousness- it never ceases, it is eternal and everything is the function of it. Despite all the articles and utility factors made available to humanity by science, and despite all the explanations, theories and principles put before it, humanity remains as sorry and miserable, as puzzled and unanswered as it was in its pristine years. All the answers proved unanswered, solutions of riddles only proved to be better riddles. Consciousness allows us not only to know, experience and enjoy the existence in its totality but also to be it. Higher Science and higher Philosophy, if progressed in a linear fashion would only effectuate in themselves but if zoomed in higher, life force would effectuate in consciousness and that is what the real path of Adhayatm and the goals of the Veda, the Upanishad and the Gita are. Let us march towards that cherished aim- life beyond life, mind beyond mind, infinity, eternity and wholeness.
