Advaitins with a mathematical or scientific bent of mind are invited to review

and comment on a recent paper posted in the following website:

 

http://sunyaprajna.com/Raju/Advaitin_Adventures.pdf

 

The paper represents geometrically some of the fundamental principles of Advaita

and analyzes the resulting model to bring out some interesting relations between

Advaita and Modern Physics. I hope you will find it worth your time and

interest.

 

Hari Om.

Namaste,

 

The Advaitin in the link requires an ending "s" The rest of the url

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
