Prof Kolsetermaier, professor of comparative religion,
University of Manitoba, Canada, predicts: "Hinduism will
spread not so much through the gurus and swamis, who at-
tract certain number of people looking for a new commit-
ment and a quasi-monastic life-style, but it will spread
mainly through the work of intellectuals and writers, who
have found certain Hindu ideas convincing and who identi-
fy them with their personal beliefs. A fair number of
leading physicists and biologists have found parallels
between modern science and Hindu ideas. An increasing
number of creative scientists will come from a Hindu
background and will consciously and unconsciously blend
their scientific and their religious ideas. All of us
may be already much more Hindu than we think."
