On March 22nd 2005, Swamiji met with Dr.Charles Townes, a Nobel Laureate from the University of California. Dr.Charles is a distinguished Professor of Astro Physics at the University. He won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1964 for his research on principles underlying the LASER (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) and MASER (Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation). Below you can see pictures of Swamiji discussing 'Science and Spirituality' with Dr.Charles Townes at the Berkeley Faculty club. Swamiji and Dr.Townes discussed wide-ranging topics such as Cosmic Intelligence, revelations that both have encountered in their own lives, Astronomy, The Big Bang and each others' perspectives on the Creation of the Universe. Dr.Townes had at that time just won the prestigious Templeton Prize for his life time pursuit of convergence of Science and Spirituality. Later Swamiji answered questions from the public through a live radio interview aired by the 'Siliconsolai Tamil Radio program'. He answered questions on Aethism, Religion and Spirituality. Amidst other messages, He stressed the relation between one's mental state and the happenings in the world. He said that while there are various things happening in the world, depending on what we tune our minds to, our own world takes shape. This he said was the 'Power of Coincidence'. Swamiji's interview received enthusiastic response in the form of feedback from listeners.
