To study the personality and message of such a diverse person is surely a rewarding and enriching experience, both individually and collectively.

Dr. T.G.K. Murthy holds a doctoral from the University of Adelaide, Australia. He served ISRO in various capacities for forty-two years before retiring as Director, Atmospheric Science Programme, ISRO HQ, Bangalore, Karnataka.The author, T.G.K. Murthy, a person of scientific pursuits and thinking, has dealt with various aspects of Swamiji’s ideas, drawing parallels from various scientific works and explores the role of intuition in scientific discoveries.It is a book worth reading by students and teachers of science.The genius of Swamiji was such that it covered several fields of activity, including modern science. This sounds strange because Swamiji was not a practicing scientist in the traditional sense, though he had made a deep study of it in his student days. The contention of the author of this book is that, even in the field of science, Swamiji had anticipated some of the later developments in the field of physics. The author has provided several examples for this from Swamiji’s life as well as from his collected works. Swamiji might not have put his intuitive ideas in the language of science, but one can easily transcribe them into scientific language. This has been very well illustrated by the author through a rephrasing of the language in a modern idiom.

Swami Vivekananda believed that eternal spiritual values alone can hold the ship of human society firmly and give stability to it and, in the process, bring meaning to the varied human activities and endeavours. This book in 9 volumes comprising the speeches and writings of the Revered Swami Ranganathananda, the 13th President of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission, posit the 'Eternal Spiritual Values' as an answer to the many fundamental social, political, economic, and spiritual problems that beset the modern age. Swami Ranganathananda travelled across the world and enthralled people with his magnificent exposition of India's ageless culture. He gave due place to the role of science and technology in human affairs, while remaining firmly rooted in the Indian scriptures. He beckoned to the past only to illumine the present; he held up the spiritual goals of the Vedas and the Upanishads but didn't decry the material benefits of modern science and technology. His exposition of Indian spiritual and social values is as much derived from an intensive study of ancient and modern books as from his own authentic experience as a Sannyasin. Published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication branch of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, volumes 1 and 2 deal with ‘Philosophy and Spirituality’, volumes 3 and 4 with ‘Great Spiritual Teachers’, volumes 5 and 6 with ‘Education for Human Excellence’, and volumes 7, 8 and 9 with ‘Democracy for Total Human Development’. This is volume 3 of the nine-volume series.
