TIRUPATI, Dec 26: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday asserted that there is no conflict between science and dharma, emphasizing that both ultimately pursue the same truth through different approaches.
Addressing the Bharatiya Vigyan Sammelan in Tirupati, Bhagwat clarified that dharma is often misunderstood as religion, when it actually represents the “science governing the functioning of creation.”
“Dharma is not religion. It is the law by which creation runs. Whether one accepts it or not, no one can function outside it,” he stated, warning that imbalance in dharma leads to destruction.
Bhagwat acknowledged that science has historically maintained distance from dharma due to the assumption that it has no place in scientific inquiry. He described this stance as fundamentally incorrect.
According to the RSS chief, the only distinction between science and spirituality lies in their methodologies, as both aim toward the same ultimate objective.
“There is no conflict between science and dharma or spirituality. The methodologies may differ, but the destination is the same—knowing the truth,” Bhagwat remarked.
