A very good collections of essays and interviews

This book is edited version of proceedings of the First world Congress on the Synthesis of science and religion held at Bombay, India. The question of synthesis is addressed by various people in this book: religious leaders like Dalai Lama, Karan Singh, Physicists like Charles H. Towens, E.C.G. Sudarshan, AI scientists like J.Weizenbaum. There are five papers which argue for the Bhaktivedanta approaches. The collections is organised in seven sections : The need for synthesis, Historical Perspectives, Search for the Pernnial, Physics and Beyond, Mind,Brain & Coonsciousness, Basis for unity of all religions and pathways to Synthesis. The major attraction in the collections is the set of interviews with Fritjof D. Capra, Eugene Wigner, Charles H. Towens, Rev. John B. Cobb,Jr. These interviews are very liviely and yet deals with serious themes. There is a panel discussion on physics and beyond with Dr. Raja Ramanna as chairman. One can say the physics and beyond section may be the pick of the collections. A good read for anyone interested in synthesis issues.
