What happens when you stop eating?

Your body doesn’t just wait for the next meal—it switches gears.

Insulin drops. Fat becomes a major fuel source. Ketones rise. And inside your cells, pathways linked to energy sensing, repair and recycling begin to change.

But this isn’t a new discovery.

The Vedic tradition incorporated regular, structured fasting through practices such as Ekādaśī.

So why did fasting become such a recurring practice—and what does modern science have to say about it?

Discover the science behind fasting in the full video on BIVS YouTube.

The Vedic civilization preserved its history not only through sacred texts and oral traditions but also through remarkable stone carvings.

A 16th-century sculpture from the Vijayanagara era, Andhra Pradesh, depicts a scene that bears a striking resemblance to its modern cinematic recreation.

These artistic representations offer a fascinating glimpse into how stories from the Vedic tradition were preserved, interpreted and passed down through generations.

Stone remembers what time cannot erase.

From flying cars to Vedic Vimanas, the concept of aerial technology has fascinated humanity for centuries.
Ancient Vedic literature describes different types of Vimanas, including Rukma Vimana and Shakuna Vimana, offering intriguing insights into the technological imagination of Vedic civilization.
Could these ancient descriptions inspire us to explore the history of flight from a new perspective?
The past may hold fascinating ideas worth investigating.

What if the Lanka described in ancient literature lies somewhere beneath the ocean, beyond the shores of present-day Sri Lanka?

An ancient mystery. A lost landscape. A question worth exploring.

Science helps us understand the wonders of the universe, while faith reminds us of the intelligence behind its existence.

True wisdom lies in embracing both scientific discovery and spiritual understanding.

Science explores the creation; faith seeks to understand the Creator.

From the conch shells of the Vedic tradition to the science of modern spirometry, the connection between breath and human physiology is fascinating.

Conch blowing involves controlled breathing and sustained airflow, while modern pulmonary science uses spirometry to measure lung function and respiratory capacity.

A beautiful intersection of Vedic heritage and modern scientific understanding.

The pursuit of science leads us to explore the wonders of creation, but every creation points towards a Creator.

Behind the laws of nature, the order of the cosmos, and the complexity of life lies a profound question: could such intricate design exist without an intelligent source?

To study creation is also to contemplate its Creator.

Can fasting influence how cancer responds to treatment?

Scientists are investigating how fasting and fasting-mimicking diets may alter metabolic pathways, influence cancer cell responses, and potentially improve the effectiveness of certain cancer treatments.

From metabolic stress to cellular adaptations, discover what emerging research reveals—and what still needs to be established.

Mental strength is not simply the ability to generate thoughts, but the capacity to regulate attention, manage impulses, and consciously direct cognitive processes towards meaningful goals.

Neuroscience highlights the role of executive functions, including attention control, working memory, and self-regulation, in shaping our thoughts and behaviour. From a Vedic perspective, this discipline can also be directed towards spiritual consciousness.

True strength lies in training the mind—not merely allowing it to wander, but learning to guide it with awareness and purpose.
