Perth, June 25 (Indian Abroad Newsdesk)
In a unique celebration of India’s rich philosophical heritage, the Consulate General of India in Perth, in collaboration with Anantha Australia, Sacred India Gallery, Chinmaya Mission Perth, and ISKCON, recently hosted an engaging event titled ‘Forbidden Archaeology: Consciousness and the Origins of Humanity’.
The highlight of the evening was a special address by internationally renowned scholar Dr Michael Cremo, known for his work on alternative archaeology and consciousness studies. Dr Cremo shared insights from his research, which bridges ancient Vedic wisdom and modern scientific inquiry, challenging conventional views on human origins.
The event also featured a dynamic panel discussion with distinguished speakers including Swami Aparokshananda, Dr Sadhana Bose, and Pavan Sanagavarapu, who joined Dr Cremo in exploring themes such as the relevance of the Puranas, the depth of Vedic literature, and the growing global interest in ancient perspectives on consciousness.
Together, the speakers offered a thought-provoking dialogue on how traditional Indian knowledge systems continue to intersect with contemporary scientific thought, inspiring new conversations about human history, spirituality, and self-awareness.
The event was well-attended by members of the Indian diaspora and the broader community, reflecting a deepening interest in India’s spiritual and intellectual contributions to global thought.
