ସତ୍ୟର ସନ୍ଧ୍ୟାନେ ବୈଜ୍ଞାନିକ - Satya Ra Sandhane Baigyanika - Swami Virajeshwar Translated by Smt. Saudamini Das

This is the Oriya translation of the book Scientist's Search for Truth by Swami Virajeshwar. The Oriya translation is close to the original work in English as far as practical. As stated by Swamiji himself, representation of Hindu philosophies in a foreign language is always hard and finding the proper expression in a foreign language brings in that complexity. However, the original book has dealt with it really nicely. Reading the book in an Indian language made me feel more closely with the essence than I felt reading the book in English.

The translator has kept the context and essence of the original book in the translation without losing any significant aspects in the process of translation. I think this book will enlighten the readers about life of a great soul who is bestowing his divine grace, leading the life of a mere mortal.
