Matter
Space, units, formation and the material order.
Education & Sanskar · Since 2023
One existence.
Many ways
of knowing.
Exploring an integrated understanding of existence, science and human life through rigorous interdisciplinary research.
The inquiry
Can a coherent worldview connect scientific knowledge with human values?
Modern science has developed powerful methods for explaining the physical world. Yet its knowledge is often divided across specialised disciplines—physics, biology, psychology, sociology, environmental science and philosophy.
Unified Theory Research asks whether Madhyasth Darshan can offer a comprehensive basis for understanding the relationships between these domains. The aim is not to replace scientific methods, but to study, compare, document and test conceptual relationships.

Science, unified theory and existential inquiry
Balmukund Meena is a devoted learner of science and the laws of existence. His journey from IIT to deeper existential inquiry led him to Coexistentialism and Madhyasth Darshan, which answered many of his questions about science, human relationships and systems.
He now works to reinterpret contemporary scientific theories, including unified theory, through the lens of Coexistentialism. As a research member of SHAPE, he contributes to solutions for global challenges while also applying the principles of harmony and understanding in family life with his wife, Vidhii.
A shared foundation
Existence, studied as coexistence.
Life
Plant, bio and animal orders within nature.
Consciousness
Knowledge, development and human purpose.
Coexistence
Relationships, organisation and harmony in nature.
Rooted in Madhyasth Darshan, as propounded by Shri A. Nagraj, the project examines units in nature, their relationships, organisation and participation within a larger order.
Research architecture
Three phases.
One evolving framework.
From philosophical clarity to comparative science and practical application.
Foundational study
Build conceptual clarity
Study the central propositions of Madhyasth Darshan, establish internal consistency and form the preliminary research questions.
Comparative review
Meet contemporary science
Review physics, cosmology, environmental systems, biological organisation, cognitive science and philosophy of science.
Application
Address lived challenges
Explore applications in climate, consumption, social inequality, conflict, education and sustainable community development.
