Swami Budhananda explores the question of whether science and religion coexist. From the standpoint of Vedanta Philosophy, the answer is a definite 'Yes!'
Science and religion will meet and shake hands. Poetry and philosophy will become friends. This will be the religion of the future, and if we can work it out, we may be sure that it will be for all times and people. -- Swami Vivekananda

Pages: 78 (B&W.illus.:15)IntroductionMan has a natural tendency to love. He cannot do without loving somebody or something. If he does not have any human being to love, he will love a dog or a cat but love he must and give expression to his powerful emotional faculty.Love stories are popular all over the world, perhaps because in those stories people find echoes of their own sentiments. But most love stories are not inspiring, to say the least. Some are definitely degrading.And yet there are great love stories, which inspire and uplift. They help aspirants to move onward and foreword on their God-ward pilgrimage.Mira's is such a love story. In this we find that her total emotional faculty is entirely directed towards God the Beloved, as a result of which, mankind is enriched with having a transformed person, a saint and a mystic of a singular character. Mira was mighty in her love of Krishna in the expression she gave to her love. The songs she composed and sang have the power of opening the springs of divine love in every heart, which is not a piece of flint.One cannot read this story without being surprised to notice, that notwithstanding one's supposed imperviousness to devotion, the holy contagion of Mira's Love did not leave one untouched and unmoved.With a feeling of blessedness we present to the reading public this immortal story of divine love.
