Studied science and received Ph.D. in theoretical Nuclear Physics in 1971 from the University of Calcutta and moved to Oslo in the same year. Since then he has lived in many countries in the world including Switzerland, Germany, US, South Korea, Thailand and Bangladesh. He is married to Ragne Birte Lund who has served as Norwegian Ambassador to S.Korea, Thailand, Burma, Cambodia and Bangladesh.

Besides Nuclear Physics and Elementary Particle Physics he has worked in cosmology and Astrophysics. Apart from physics he has delved in activities in many other areas.  His main works include books and writings about existential issues, mysticism and enlightened social-political order.  He has also produced artworks in the form of paintings, sculptures as well as written songs and composed music.  All his works bear the originality of a mind oriented towards cosmos and God.
