Nothing beats research.
Vinay Kumar, a scientist at the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), Bangalore, graduated in Electronics and Communications Engineering before doing his Masters in Physics. Albert Einstein has been a lifelong fascination and inspiration for him. Even as a schoolboy the universe fascinated him; gazing at the night sky being his favourite pastime. Today, he considers himself fortunate to have the privilege of pursuing the only job he has ever aspired to – Scientist. Vinay’s burning curiosity to know what lay beyond what the eye could see prompted him to study science – where he imagined all the answers lay. But his search for the Truth soon turned him into an atheist, agnostic and nihilist, as he journeyed through a difficult existential crisis concerning the nature of Reality. In the course of his intense seeking, he discovered that his own quest had been pursued by many others over the millennia. He found evidence of this in his own Hindu culture and the Vedas. Swami Paramananda and Swami Vivekananda became his first gurus on his journey towards the Truth. In Breaking the God Delusion, Vinay shares his experiences as a scientist seeking the Ultimate Reality.
