would like to know the knower or gyata, i.e., "my own-self by myself”. It is here that religion and science have a perfect meeting point.
Nowadays, medical science is doing miracles for saving life of people but some experiments might prove devastating. The genetic engineering is making bewildering advances. The potential threat of Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Warfare Materials is lurking round the corner. If these advances are allowed to go ahead undeterred and devoid of human touch, the time will not be very far when there will be no future generation left in order to blame us for our blunders. It is high time now to meditate on the words of wisdom expressed by Prof. Einstein that Science without religion is blind and religion without science is lame. The more the science delves deep into the truth, the fidings of the earlier times are proving to be incomplete or false.

Experiments in the USA have revealed that Angina Prectoris or the blockage of heart arteries can be reversed by the combined use of meditation, stringent vegetarian dict and yoga exercise. In this very direction, experiments are going on in Delhi in the Adhyatma Sadhana Kendra under the strict medical supervision of Prof. Manchanda of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi, with the help of preksha meditation developed by a famous Jain monk, Acharya Mabaprajya. Several big business houses have subjected their executive core to the classes of Preksa Meditation which has revealed that the concentration power and efficiency of their executives increased several fold. This has also helped some of them in
