RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat stated at the Bharatiya Vigyan Sammelan that science and dharma are not in conflict, as both ultimately seek the same truth through different methodologies. He clarified that dharma, often mistaken for religion, is the universal principle governing creation. Bhagwat argued that science has historically distanced itself from dharma based on a flawed assumption, but both are driven by the search for truth, with science using external observation and spirituality employing inner experience. He emphasized that dharma provides the ethical framework for using scientific knowledge.
