In the West, a minority of people are interested in weird stuff like astral bodies and out-of-body travel. They're often looked as harmless New Age flakes or wigged-out occultists. But in Hinduism, coming to grips with the mechanics of what the soul actually is and how it operates are fundamental to understand how to control your reincarnational cycle, you have to understand this stuff.
Inner realities are legitimate realities to Hindus. They're not cavalierly dismissed as outdated superstitions like they are in the West. We Westerners for the most part only hear about miracles that happened in Palestine 2,000 years ago. In India, however, every generation of Hindu has been exposed to living saints and yogis who demonstrate what seem like superhuman abilities to the uninitiated.
In India, science and religion have always worked hand in hand. There has been no burning at the stake of scientists in India! There the exploration of inner realities is considered just as valid as research into the outer world of nature. While Hinduism produced some of the greatest natural scientists in history, it also excelled in the science of spirit, pioneered by inner researchers called yogis.
