________________
academic rivalries between Philosophers and Scientists, this approach of the author may look rather strange and odd, specially to Western thinkers, who have kept these two fundamental branches of human knowledge at poles apart by their over emphasis on specialization of knowledge. This created & wide gulf between them and completely divorced them from each other The author has ingenuously bridg. ed this gulf and thereby fulfilled the urgent need of our age. The approach is singnularly Indian in the sense that, the author has sought to establish a unity in diversity This could have been possible only at the hands of a Saint Philosopher like the author, who could rightly interpret and translate the spirit of our ancient culture.
The style is simple yet forceful. The manner and method of this rather difficult and intricate theme has been so wisely handled by the author that, it has made the reading interesting and understanding easy.
The book was originally written in Hindi. The present book in your hands, is the English translation of the same. Four chapters have been translated by Muni Shri Mahendra Kumar Ji. Rest of the chapters were translated jointly by Shri Prabhakar Machive, Joint Secretary, Sahitya Academy, Km. Ila Jhayeri, MA Shri Rashim Kumar Jhaveri, B.Com., and Shrı Virendra Ardhiya, etc. I am indebted to them for their help.
