Abstract
The paper addresses the phenomenon of cross-cultural resonance, which arises when ideas coming from different cultures and view systems show mutual correlation, or coherence. We particularly dwell on the parallels between modern physics and Indian classical philosophy. The coherence in ideological, methodological, and ethical spheres is noted and exemplified. Interpretation of correlations in terms of the Jaspers 'ciphers of transcendence' is proposed. A brief survey of studies also dealing with coherence between modern science and ancient teachings is given. In conclusion, a broader perspective of interrelations between rational science and spiritual tradition is discussed.
