Dear Professor GirijaVallabhan,
>>
>> I am a scientist and also a student of Vedanta. I recently came
>> across your paper "Indian Influence in the Development of Quantum
>> Mechanics" which I found informative and fascinating. I was writing
>> to ask a question. Currently I'm interested in doing some research
>> on the slightly broader question of the influence of Eastern
>> philosophy on Western science (in general). I wanted to ask whether
>> you are familiar with other examples of this stream from east to west
>> in the realm of science. You mentioned Oppenheimer and, of course,
>> David Bohm was very influenced by Krishnamurti. If you have the time
>> could you point me in the direction of other examples? Thanks for
>> any help you can give.
>>
>> Sincerely,
>>
>> Robin Weeks
