TULSI-PRAJNA
getting rid of drinking and smoking habits. It has proved on myself also to reduce mental tension. May I once again reiterate that time has definitely come when science and religion must try to understand each other and forge their mutual cooperation. In this respect, I would like to highlight the efforts of Anuvrat sponsor and great Jain saint Ganadhipati Tulsi, who is trying to build “Adhyatmic Vaijyanic Vyakttiwa” (3TTETTfc astifiat cufthra) i.e., scientific-cum-religious personality.
I would like to end by citing certain religious teachings and practices which prove their great value in today's life style and in the scientific considerations as well : 0 Any form of violence gives birth to violence. : Science says-Every
action has equal & opposite reaction. 0 Don't hurt innocent beings. Don't cut green trees : To Science,
it is a serious question of Ecology & Environment. 0 Limit your requirements and don't waste resources : Again an
Ecological question. O Be honest and dedicated to your purpose : An essence of pro
gress and modern management practice. O Observe celibacy limiting to your spouse: World is now facing the menace of AIDS virus.
