Guest guest Posted March 31, 2001 Report Share Posted March 31, 2001 I noticed there was a recent enquiry about the meaning of "akasha". The May/June issue of "Hindusim Today" that I received yesterday has an interesting story on Swami Vivekananda and the famous inventor-scientist Tesla. It seems Swamiji asked Mr.Tesla (in 1893) to confirm own view that the two Vedantic concepts of "akasha" and "prana" -which Swamiji understood represented matter and energy respectively- are really one and the same. Tesla, who the article says knew that akaska was matter in "tenuity" (subtle form?), however could not confirm Swami Vivekananda's intution about the unity of matter and energy at that time. This is an interesting article not only for revealing the scientific intuition of Sw.Vivekananda which foreshadowed Einstein's theories to come some twenty years later, but also for the real genius that Mr. Tesla was. The article also sites a website www.pbs.org\tesla\. Hope this might help some and whet the appetite in others.
