Consciousness in Indian philosophy and modern physics share overlapping but distinct concepts. Indian traditions (both orthodox and heterodox) define consciousness (prajna) through multiple knowledge domains, each with unique methods and meanings. Modern theoretical and quantum physics offer scientific analyses of consciousness that are compared with these philosophical accounts. The paper explores these parallels without asserting a single unified conclusion, highlighting differences in connotation and methodology across traditions and disciplines.
