A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada (1896-1977): Srila Prabhupada, the founder of the `Bhaktivedanta Institute' (1974), was one of the most prominent spiritual and cultural ambassadors of the 20th century India. In a short period of 12 years (1965-1977), he established more than 108 spiritual, educational, and cultural centers around the world and authored over 60 volumes of philosophical and theological books and many articles on Vedanta philosophy and its practice including the Bhagavata Gita As It Is. His philosophical and theological magazine Back to Godhead had attained a monthly circulation of over three million copies. His writings were published throughout the world in many languages.
Werner Arber (1929-): A well-known microbiologist, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in physiology and Medicine in 1978 for the discovery of the restriction enzymes and their application to problems of molecular genetics. The discovery of restriction enzymes provided new tools for the detailed chemical analysis of the mechanism of gene action and opened new paths to genetic engineering and gene therapy. From 1949 to 1953, he studied towards the diploma in Natural Sciences at the Swiss Polytechnical School in Zurich. He earned his Ph. D. in 1958 and took faculty position in 1960 at the University of Geneva. After serving as the faculty at Geneva from 1960 to 1970, he became professor of molecular biology at Biozentrum Research Institute, University of Basel, Switzerland in 1971. He received several awards and honors including the Platamour-Prevost prize of the University of Geneva (1962) and a grant from Swiss National Science Foundation (1965-1970). He has also served as the President (1996-1999) of the International Council for Science (ICS), a worldwide non-governmental organization of scientists. He has contributed several papers in the Journal of Molecular Evolution, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, etc., and has edited the book Genetic Manipulation: Impact on Man and Society (1984).
Karl H. Pribram (1919-): He is a renowned neuropsychologist and one of the founding fathers of the cognitive revolution in Psychology who advanced a holographic model of perception and memory called the holonomic brain theory. He suggested that interactions in the form of waves within dendritic microprocesses are the basis of the perceptual image and it is the sum total of these interacting waves whose interference patterns yield the holoscape, the neural hologram which is the perceptual image. He was trained as a neurosurgeon and received his M.D. from the University of Chicago in 1941. He served as President of the International Neuropsychological Society (1967), Division of Physiological and Comparative Psychology (1967-1968) and Division of Theological and Philosophical Psychology (1979-1980) of American Psychological Association. He has received several honors and awards including honorary Ph.D.’s in psychology from the University of Montreal, Canada (1992) and in philosophy from the University of Bremen, Germany (1996). He has authored several books including Languages of the Brain: Experimental Paradoxes and Principles in Neuropsychology (1971) and Brain and Perception: Holonomy and Structure in Figural Processing (1991).
T. D. Singh (1937-): A scientist and spiritualist known for his pioneering efforts to interface between science and religion for a deeper understanding of life and the universe, he received his Ph.D. in Physical Organic Chemistry from the University of California, Irvine in 1974. He has contributed many papers in the Journal of American Chemical Society and the Journal of Organic Chemistry in the field of fast proton transfer kinetics in model biological systems using stopped-flow technique and NMR spectroscopy. He also worked on gas phase reaction mechanisms using Ion Cylotron Resonance (ICR) spectroscopy. He underwent Vaishnava Vedanta Studies (1970-77) under His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada and was appointed as Director of the Bhaktivedanta Institute (1974-) which is a center to promote studies about the relationaship between science and vedanta. He has organized three International conferences on science and religion — First and Second World Congress for the Synthesis of Science and Religion (1986 & 1997) and First International Conference on the Study of Consciousness within Science (1990) where a galaxy of prominent scientists and religious leaders including several Nobel Laureates participated. He has authored and edited several books including What is Matter and What is Life? (1977), Theobiology (1979), (Ed.) Synthesis of Science and Religion: Critical Essays and Dialogues (1987) and Thoughts on Synthesis of Science and Religion (2001).
Jagdish N. Srivastava (1933-): A leading statistician from Colorado State University, he earned his Ph.D. (1961) from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and served as Professor of Statistics & Mathematics (1966-99) & CNS Research Professor (1999 onwards) at the Colorado State University; Fellow of Third World Academy of Science (1992), Institute of Combinatorial Mathematics (1990), Institute of Mathematical Statistics (1972), International Statistical Institute (1972), American Statistical Association (1970); Editor-in-Chief and Founder (1975onwards) of the Journal of Statistical Planning & Inference; President of Indian Society of Agricultural Statistics (1977) session, Forum for Interdisciplinary Mathematics (1994-96), International Indian Statistical Association (1994-97); two 65th birthday Felicitation Volumes published respectively by: (1) Jour. Comb. Inform. & Sys. Sc. (2) Marcel Dekker; discovered ’Srivastava Codes’, ‘Bose-Srivastava Algebras’, ‘Srivastava-Estimators’; listed in Marquis Who’s Who in the World.

He earned his M.A. (1952) and Ph.D. (1958) from the University of Rochester, USA. He served as Corporation Fellow (1957-1959), Harvard University. He received D. Sc., Honoris. Causa in Wisconsin in 1969. Among several honors and awards, he also received Padma Bhushan decoration by the President of India in 1976 and first Third World Academy of Sciences Prize in Physics in 1985. He has coauthored three books: Introduction to Elementary Particle Physics (with Robert Marshak), Fundamentals of Quantum Optics (with John Klauder) and Classical Dynamics (with N. Mukunda).
