phenomena, interaction between living and nonliving entities, conscious and physical science.
I am not a physicist and have not been able to assess various arguments in the book. However, in my opinion, it is a noble task to 'relate the concepts of modern science to Jain thoughts and vise-versa. This examination in itself is, of course, to be done through the principles of Anekantwada and Syadwada i.e. through non absolutistic and holistic principles. As I had previously suggested that his articles in Hindi and Gujarati would also be translated into English for a wider spectacle, all articles old and new, written by Muniji have been translated into English and are going to be published in a single book entitled 'Scientific Secrets of Jainism'. I am also glad to know that the total Gujarati version has also been published in Jan, 2000.
I congratulate him for this important and timely contribution, and in particular, 1 wholeheartedly recommend it to the scientific community, Jains and non-Jains alike.
