increased awareness for cooperation and dialogue among humans, nations,

over many years. At present, his focus and interest is scientific
research and new technologies, particularly in the area of Bio-energy.
He is promoting and initiating dialogue among faith and reason, where
Bio-energy/Bio-energy Science will be a 'vehicle' for establishing
long-awaited friendly dialogue among science and religion and bringing
their thoughts closer for common good. Also, based on his 20+ years
research and experience in the bio-energy/healing field, to offer
