Description
This is the podcast of Dr. Anil K Rajvanshi (https://nariphaltan.org/shortbio.pdf). He is currently the Director and Hon. Secretary of Nimbkar Agricultural Research Institute (NARI) (https://nariphaltan.org). He has more than 43 years of experience in renewable energy R&D and rural development. He did his B.Tech and M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering from I.I.T. Kanpur in 1972 and 1974 respectively. He received his Ph.D. in Mech. Engg. from University of Florida, Gainesville, USA in 1979. He was also on the faculty of University of Florida (Dept. of Mechanical Engineering) for 2.5 years before returning to India in 1981 to work at NARI.
Anil Rajvanshi is a spiritual engineer! A mechanical engineering graduate of IIT Kanpur in early 1970s he went to U.S. for higher studies. In a fit of madness and arrogance, he left a very lucrative career in U.S. and came back in 1981 to rural India thinking that he will change India! India did not change but he changed. In the process of developing renewable energy technologies for rural areas he discovered himself and the great spiritual traditions of India.
He runs a small rural NGO called Nimbkar Agricultural Research Institute in Phaltan, Maharashtra and has a passion of writing articles on spirituality and rural development. His articles have been published in Times of India (Speaking Tree); Huffington Post and Thrive Global, South Asia Monitor and syndicated in various other News lines. He has 5 books to his credit and has written more than 250 articles on rural and sustainable development including the interface of spirituality and technology. He is passionate about teaching youngsters and gives inspirational lectures all over India and some abroad.
His mantra is Spirituality + Technology = Happiness and lives in a simple and holistic way in rural India.

This is the podcast of the talk given by Dr. Anil K Rajvanshi (https://nariphaltan.org/shortbio.pdf) at Tata Innovation Center, Pune on 12 August 2026. The URL of slides is at: https://nariphaltan.org/tctalk.pdf
The talk centered around the methodology developed by Irving Langmuir and his team at General Electric to do industrial R&D. That methodology developed in early 1910s and 20s in US is still valid and should provide the guiding principles in all Corporate R&D activities.
Dr. Rajvanshi has written many articles on this theme. https://nariphaltan.org/langmuir.pdf

Death is inevitable, but this episode reframes it as a physical process—rooted in the brain, body, and cellular systems—and explains how fear grows from losing identity, the unknown, and the anticipation of pain. Drawing on neuroscience, near-death reports, cellular memory hints, and dying-brain activity, it shows how understanding physiology can soften terror.
Practical takeaways: better pain management, emotional resilience, and wisdom in daily life can reduce suffering and help us meet death with more dignity; in short, the best preparation for dying may be learning how to live more fully.
This is a podcast of Dr. Anil Rajvanshi's (https://nariphaltan.org/shortbio.pdf) article "What is Death and Can we reduce its pain". The url of the article is at: https://nariphaltan.org/fearofdeath.pdf
Explore how the living body is an adaptive, self-regulating system that seeks balance—healing itself through homeostasis and a deep link to its environment. The episode connects modern biology with traditional wisdom to show why maintaining equilibrium is central to health.
Learn practical steps to support self-healing: embrace natural variation, practice breath and meditation to calm physiology, and build psychological resilience to reduce stress. The takeaway: by tuning our bodies and minds to the world, we can strengthen natural repair and transform our relationship with health.

Podcast of the book review. Deep Science in Ancient Indian Philosophical Thought (https://nariphaltan.org/dsbook.pdf) .
Mechanical engineer Anil K. Rajvanshi reads the Yoga Sutras and other Indian texts as technical documents, proposing that disciplined attention acts as an internal instrument to reveal physical mechanisms of mind, from thermodynamics to quantum ideas.
He advances provocative hypotheses—biophoton-based holograms, thought-solitons, and pranayama as a fluid-dynamics intervention—framing meditation as entropy reduction and a tool for scientific insight; speculative in parts, the book reframes contemplative practice as actionable engineering for cognition and sustainability.
Episode walkthrough of Deep Science in Ancient Indian Philosophical Thought (https://nariphaltan.org/dsbook.pdf) by Dr. Anil K. Rajvanshi: an engineer’s provocative project to translate yogic sutras into neurobiology, thermodynamics and quantum ideas.
The book frames ancient practices as engineered instruments—Samyama as a laboratory, prana as inhaled nanoparticles, and thought as holographic biophoton patterns—while tying meditation to entropy reduction, vagal regulation and practical mental hygiene.
Speculative moves—soliton-based telepathy, extraterrestrial seeding and quantum coherence in warm brains—push beyond mainstream evidence, but the episode argues the book’s real value is methodological: a synthesis that treats inner training as a research tool and a social lever for sustainability, offering actionable paradigms for fear of death, attention training, and combining spirituality with technology.
