With the blessing of Param Poojya Sarakodharaka Upadhyayrathan Munishri 108 Gyansagar Maharaj ji, we are peased to publish the first issue of the Journal of Gyan Sagar Science Foundation. An attempt has been made to converge, Science, Society and Spirituality in a single forum. Such a move will enable us to strike a balance between materialistic requirements and spiritual understasnding for sutasnining growth and harmonious living. In this issue papers from different disciplines, natural science, Jain philosophy and work at their interfaces are included. The latter theme is reflected from many papers such as, Medicinal plants & Jainism and self interaction of Karma & Genes.
We dedicate Journal of Gyan Sagar Science Foundation to our revered Munishri 108 Gyansagar Maharaj ji. The papers published in this issue were presented during the conference "Scientific Development and our Responsibility” held in Mumbai during 7-8 January, 2012. The first conference in this series was held at Bangalore during 29-31 January, 2010. This series of conferences are organized by the Gyan Sagar Science Foundation and are supported by the protagonist and philanthropist of Jain Society.
Journal of Gyan Sagar Science Foundation will publish high quality papers in natural science and Jain philosophy. It is hoped that the Journal will be a medium for creating awareness in the society about the scientific facts and spiritual knowledge for global forte harmony and peace.
