Science And Spirituality
A dialogue between Science and spirituality is a necessity in our times where both, differences and mutual enrichment of the two great fields of human approach to reality, are taking place. This volume adresses this need from the perspective of different areas of science and spiritual tradition. The starting point is the intention of the founder of the IIAS, Dr S. Radhakrishnan, who saw that '' both the practice of science and experience of spirituality are intimately related to being human ''.

The Yoga of Netra Tantra
The inspiration for taking up the study of the Netra Tantra and its Yoga is entirely due to my guru, Swami Lakshman Joo (1907-91), who allowed me access to the tradition of Trika or non-dualist Kashmir Saivism. My gratitude to him is unbounded and has been guiding me in every endeavour of studying and practising this great spiritual tradition, when can contribute tremendously with a practical way to experience it.
