Over the weekend I had my second discussion this year with Professor Subhash Kak on his new book published this year June 12, 2025 Eternal Bharat: Truth, Meaning, and Beauty specifically on its symbolism and insights on India’s grand legacy and tradition of artistic creativity and how it relates to the central focus of the Indian sages (rishis) on consciousness especially as it pertains to the literary genius of the Upanishads and why this focus is becoming increasingly relevant for today’s society.

His reputation precedes himself; Dr. Kak is an Indian American Regents Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Oklahoma State University. He has written over 30 books on a variety of topics from history, linguistics, computation, quantum theory, physics, and for his contributions in so many areas he has received the prestigious Padma Shri award in 2019. He is also a member of the India Prime Minister’s Science Technology and Innovation Advisory Council.
