Guest guest Posted October 3, 1999 Report Share Posted October 3, 1999 Hi, My name is Hari Kumar & I am a new member of this list. I suppose I am required to say a few words about myself prior to posting anything here. I am really sorry that I was tempted to send my little contribution (a spiritual poem - A touch of the Ocean) without giving any formal introduction. Other than my deep interest in Science and Spirituality, I really don't have much to say about myself. I am neither a master in Vedanta nor a Sanskrit scholar. But I honestly do not think that mastering the Vedas would necessarily grant one complete knowledge. On the contrary, I think that it would only make one miss the forest for the trees. What has probably propelled me to Advaitic thought was my deep yearning for Truth. Or may be it was the fact, that I hail from the same proud soil of Kerala which gave the world the unequalled genius of Shri Shankara. Moreover, my scientific background, and my mercilessly and untiringly inquiring mind could not be sated by the "fix-all" philosophys of other schools of thought. On the other hand Advaita stood like a brilliant Sun in a candle-flame field. It answered my every probing query to complete satisfaction. The only other philosophy, or should I say Science, which equal Advaita in giving all the answers, though from a different perspective, is ... Mathematics. I would go to the extent of calling Mathematics as Symbolic Advaita and Advaita as Lyrical Mathematics. Oops! I think I better stop before my paragraph becomes an essay! Any way please do visit my website at : http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Aegean/6917/ where I have discussed similar things. Thank you Hari Kumar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
