Dialogues and Meetings
Exchanging thoughts and realization about Science and Religion
A dialogue between Prof. Charles H. Townes, Noble Laureate in Physics and
Dr. T. D. Singh, Director, Bhaktivedanta Institute
“The Vedic literatures teach us that the living being or life is beyond molecules. Its ontological nature is non-molecular, it is spiritual. Therefore modern science needs to incorporate a spiritual dimension by adopting a new paradigm if it is to remain a true science. This required new paradigm will emerge from a systhesis of Science and religion”.
Dr. T. D. Singh
Founder of Bhaktivedanta Institute

Reflections of Two Noble Laureates
Are God and His personality mere imagination of the human mind? Or: Does He really exist with spiritual attributes? And what kind of person is He?
Does He have, like us, a physical body shaped by genome and acting in space & time? Or: Is He a transcendental personality beyond the influence of material nature?
