[Guest guest]

Namaste:

 

I am pleased to inform the list members that Bharathiya Vidya Bhavan

has very recently released ProfVK's book with the title "Science and

Spirituality," and the details are given below. This book is an

enhanced version of ProfVK's Website:

http://www.geocities.com/profvk/

(Please note that due to publisher's stipulation, all articles

related to the topics discussed in the book are no more available in

the homepage)

 

I believe that this book will be a valuable reference for all

spiritual seekers and ProfVK has done full justice to the subject

matter of the book. Those who have read his postings will agree that

he has always shown greater clarity and precision in explaining the

complex marriage between Science and Spirituality. If any of you are

interested contact the Bhavan's home site in India

(http://www.bhavans.info/) or New York. ( http://www.bhavanus.com/)

 

Warmest regards,

 

Ram Chandran

This book emphasizes that Science and Spirituality are two

complementary facets of man's intellectual aspirations, neither of

which can be ignored. It is necessary to look beyond Science to

comprehend the personality that is Man. While Science is fashionable

and universally accepted as the in-thing, Spirituality is not so. The

main reason is the absence of any worthwhile knowledge about

Spirituality comparable with the quantum of familiarity with science.

It is generally thought that to be scientifically minded is the

opposite of being spiritual minded and vice versa. The first

undercurrent of this monograph is to emphasize that this is not so.

It projects the inevitable need to understand, without prejudice to

the importance of science and scientific temper for the welfare of

humanity, the obligation to look beyond science and the necessity to

look within oneself in order to complete the personality that is man.

 

Prof. V. Krishnamurthy (ProfVK) has been a Prof. of Mathematics at

Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani. He has undergone

systematic training in the traditional Hindu scriptures. ProfVK has

given several successful expositions on Hinduism, that are known for

the precision, clarity and an irresistible appeal to the modern mind.
