Guest guest Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Namaste: Here is the correct link for the paper by Sri Raju Chidambaram. http://sunyaprajna.com/Raju/Advaitins_Adventures.pdf First I want to thank Sri Raju Chidambarm for his elaborate rigorous paper connecting advaita and quantum physics. He has provided me a copy of this paper about a couple of weeks back and I haven't read thoroughly. Since he has a strong mathematical background, he has applied geometry to explain advaitic concepts. Sri Raju's model structure uses the explanations provided by Swami Chinmayananda through his discourses and books. According to model structure, the Jiva slowly transforms into the Brahman, the symbol of perfection. (see for example, Fig-9 in page 24 describing the spiritual progress). Being a great devotee of Swami Chinmayananda, Sri Raju has sincerely followed the logic and presentations of Swamiji and has beautifully illustrated them through his innovative graphs. I believe that it is impossible to describe the essence of Sankara's advaita philosophy of the nature of Brahman either through words or through graphs. Swamiji's explanations using BMI chart are quite valuable for a layman to get some basic understanding of advaita philosophy. I am of the opinion that any exercise of explaining advaita philosophy either through words or through graphs may not be able to fully capture the subtle metaphysical message. The paper as it is presented is an interesting and valuable intellectual exercise and is quite enjoyable for those who are mathematically inclined. Since I have not gone through the paper carefully, I hesitate to provide any additional comments at this time. I do want to congratulate Sri Raju for a job well done. Warmest regards, Ram Chandran advaitin, Bob Freedman <rlfreed@p...> wrote: > Namaste, > > The Advaitin in the link requires an ending "s" The rest of the url Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
