There is no doubt we need that kind of clarity for understanding our beautiful yet bewildering universe, especially when we as observers are interacting intimately with what we are observing. Scientists understand this complexity and are continuously attempting to internalize the external variables in their models, but there is still a vast ground to cover. Like the scientists, \u003cem\u003eMi͆ma͆˙saka͆s\u003c\/em\u003e are firmly grounded in physical reality. They do accept the science's \u003cem\u003ePrat̾yaks͚a \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eAnuma͆na\u003c\/em\u003e, but when it comes to \u003cem\u003eD̰̾arma\u003c\/em\u003e, they rely only on their solid exegesis of the \u003cem\u003eVed̾a \u003c\/em\u003eand embody it through \u003cem\u003eVed̾a's\u003c\/em\u003e mandated ritualistic way of life. In fact, in the discussion on \u003cem\u003eApu͆rva\u003c\/em\u003e, the \u003cem\u003eMi͆ma͆˙saka͆s\u003c\/em\u003e say that only when \u003cem\u003ePrat̾yaks͚a \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eAnuma͆na \u003c\/em\u003edo not show a physical benefit of an action enjoined by the \u003cem\u003eVed̾a \u003c\/em\u003eshould one ascribe that to \u003cem\u003eApu͆rva\u003c\/em\u003e. In this interesting succinct work of practical significance, the author outlines the science of the Ved̾a along those lines. It is essential to note the preposition \"of\" in the title of the book. The title is \"\u003cstrong\u003eThe Science of \u003cem\u003eArun̻apras̰na\u003c\/em\u003e: \u003c\/strong\u003e\" and not \"\u003cstrong\u003eThe Science in Arun̻apras̰na: \u003c\/strong\u003e.\" This is not just the view of the \u003cem\u003eMi͆ma͆˙saka͆s\u003c\/em\u003e alone. World over most ethnic-religious systems embody this perspective in their own unique way. Deist, nature worshipper, and the father of the American independence movement, Thomas Paine, in one of his most famous works, \"The Age of Reason\" said, \"\u003cstrong\u003eIt is from the study of the true theology that all our knowledge of science is derived, and it is from that knowledge that all the arts have originated.\u003c\/strong\u003e\" The author's goal in this work is to foster collaboration amongst the \u003cem\u003eMi͆ma͆˙saka͆s\u003c\/em\u003e, other \u003cem\u003eVed̾a\u003c\/em\u003e scholars, scientists, and engineers to understand the science of \u003cem\u003eVed̾a\u003c\/em\u003e for everyone's benefit. In fact, the subject matter is such that it demands this kind of cooperation. It is helpful in this context to quote \u003cem\u003eRa͆ja͆ R̰t̾uparn̻a\u003c\/em\u003e, from \u003cem\u003eMaha͆b̰a͆rat̾a\u003c\/em\u003e 3.7.72.8. \u003cem\u003eR̰t̾uparn̻a\u003c\/em\u003e, before demonstrating his statistical estimation skills says to \u003cem\u003eBa͆huka \u003c\/em\u003ehis charioteer, who is none other than great \u003cem\u003eNala Maha͆ra͆ja\u003c\/em\u003e. \"\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSarva: Sarvȧ Na Ja͆na͆t̾i Sarvajn͚o̺ Na͆st̾i Kas̰cana । Ne̾kat̾ra Parinis͚t̰a͆st̾i Jn͚a͆nasya Purus͚e Kacit̾ ।।\u003c\/em\u003e\"\u003c\/strong\u003e Everyone does not know everything. There is no one who knows it all, and so complete knowledge is never established in any one person. This book is an excellent resource for academicians looking for new avenues of research especially considering today's world of interdisciplinary studies. Its lucid style combined with structured presentation makes it a wonderful book for students of all ages from middle schoolers to graduate students. For the lay readers, it sheds clarity on various scientific concepts while offering a deeper understanding of the \u003cem\u003eVed̾ic \u003c\/em\u003erituals. In closing, we remember what \u003cem\u003eA͆ca͆rya Arobind̾o\u003c\/em\u003e said in one of his great essays, \"\u003cstrong\u003eI believe that Veda to be the foundation of the Sanatan Dharma; I believe it to be the concealed divinity within Hinduism, -but a veil has to be drawn aside, a curtain has to be lifted. I believe it to be knowable and discoverable. I believe the future of India and the world to depend on its discovery and on its application, not to the renunciation of life, but to life in the world and among men.\u003c\/strong\u003e\" We hope you enjoy this work and it inspires you to research the \u003cem\u003eVed̾a\u003c\/em\u003e scientifically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAyyagari, Sitaram:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Sitaram Sarma Ayyagari is one of those guys who was lucky to be educated both in Ved̾a and Science. Like many of his generation who had limited career paths, he had to satisfy his passion for core sciences while studying engineering. Bachelors in Electronics and Communications Engineering was followed by Masters in Electronics Instrumentation and finally culminated with an MBA to climb up the ladder in Corporate America. The informal and probably more important education he got was in Ved̾a. He underwent initial training in portions of Kr̰s͚n̻ayajurved̾a and R̰gved̾a from his father, Sri Sreerama Murty, and his uncle Sri Bheemasankaram. Later, he was trained with Pandit Sri Ramesh Rajamani in Dayton, Ohio, and from Late Brahmas̰ri͆ G̰ana͆pa͆t̰i͆ Gullapalli Udayakumar Sarma in Houston. Meanwhile, his insatiable scientific curiosity fueled his self-study all along, and it was in quantum physics that he discovered a connection to the Ved̾ic Rituals. Sitaram is the co-founder of Bharateeya Vaahini, a non-profit organization that promotes the learning of Ved̾a Va͆n̰maya with a scientific perspective.","brand":"Kovidanam Vani","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51325372465426,"sku":"9780981759609","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_d3e4cf26-895f-40c5-83c1-cf8036fd6f35.jpg?v=1748729467","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-science-of-arunaprasna-cosmology-to-quantum-physics-9780981759609","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
