In a lighter vein

Bhikku-ji wrote:

I used my meditative insight and found that reading the

Veda is not different from reading a book on history or

mathematics.

 

 

VK: Obviously, from the train of thought of the writer, it

appears he has assumed that reading history or mathematics

is easy. Bhikku-ji, maybe you should read

 

"Dawn to Decadence" by Jacques Barzun (2000)

or

COSRIMS (ed.) "The Mathematical Sciences - A collection of

essays" (1969)

or William Dunham "The Calculus Gallery -Masterpieces from

Newton to Lebesgue"

or

Major Gen. Gurcharan Singh: "A Military History of Ancient

India" (2000)

 

The first one is History, the second is Mathematics, the

third is History of Mathematics and the fourth, Mathematics

of History!

 

PraNAms to all of a lighter vein.
