An embodiment of truthfulness, righteousness and patriotism. Gewali had inner passion to serve the country and propagate the universal significance of the ancient wisdom. He saw an immense undercurrent of perfect science, the direct explanation of ultimate truth and flawless wisdom of the cosmic consciousness in the treasure trove of Indian. The thought-provoking science books entitled 'We are not the first' by an UFO scientist Tomas Andrew, 'The Tao of Physics' by an eminent American physicist Frijof Capra and ‘The discovery of India’ by Jawaharlal Nehru had deeply inspired him to this onerous task of compiling the unrivalled anthology. From his early age Gewali was aware of the less-known facts that great many modern scientists and philosophers had not only acknowledged Indian wisdom but had drawn sufficient intellectual nourishment from the ancient literature of India.
