In 1893, during his meeting with Swami Vivekananda, Nikola Tesla found inspiration for energy concepts in Eastern philosophy. Later, after his return, Swami Vivekananda mentioned how this great scientific mind had learnt from Vedanta and how the connection between spirituality and science resonated with the potential to transform humanity.

The article from MSN discusses the intriguing encounter between Swami Vivekananda, a key figure in introducing Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world, and Nikola Tesla, the renowned inventor. During their meeting in the late 19th century, Vivekananda introduced Tesla to the concepts of Vedantic philosophy, particularly the idea of the universe being composed of energy, which resonated with Tesla's own scientific explorations. Tesla, fascinated by these ideas, reportedly told Vivekananda that he had been working on similar concepts in his experiments with electricity and magnetism. This interaction not only influenced Tesla's understanding of the universe but also highlighted a unique intersection of Eastern philosophy and Western science, suggesting that Tesla's later work might have been inspired by these Vedantic principles. The article explores how this cross-cultural exchange could have potentially shaped Tesla's innovative thinking, although direct evidence linking Tesla's inventions to Vedanta remains speculative.
