Jai Ma!!!!!

 

 

Dr. Vijay P. Bhatkar -- chairman of ETH Research Lab and architect of

India's first super computer, the Param 10000 -- presented a stirring

speech about Amma today, saying, "Amma is fusing science and

spirituality."

 

"As a scientist many people ask me why am I following Amma? The

answer, sisters and brothers, is that Amma is a unique person who has

made a grand synthesis of science and spirituality. I have grown to

see science and spirituality are but two sides of the same coin."

 

Dr. Bhatkar elaborated, saying, "Amma presents these truths in a very

simple way everyone can understand. Amma does not preach a philosophy

but has fused science, knowledge and religion in a way all of us can

understand."

 

Dr. Bhatkar described MIT language professor and author Dr. Noam

Chomsky's concept that "there is a centre in the human brain that

represents the meta language of humanity." When Dr. Bhatkar was

working with computers, he felt that there was a similar unique

quality capable of those systems. When he was introduced to Amma, he

felt that She had the true key to communicating with the world

through Her language of love. "Her language of love can communicate

with everyone across the world whatever their language, race or

religion. `The eternal religion of the world is love,' says Amma,

and `the creator and creation are one.'"

 

Dr. Bhatkar invoked Swami Vivakanada, the great sannyasin and teacher

of Indian spirituality, who said, 100 years ago, that in 100 years

India would rise again and show the world the path of enlightenment.

 

He sees Amma as the Satguru bringing this enlightenment to India and

to the world. "Amma represents the coming of a unique saint who

dissolves the barriers of East and West, North and South. The

devotees here from 190 countries represent the dissolution of these

barriers. This is not merely a celebration but the spiritual

resurgence of not only Kerala, but the entire world."

 

Amma represents to us what no other saint or leader of the world has

ever been able to do for us. Though Her unique integration of all

yogas: karma yoga, bhakti yoga and more She is fulfilling the

predictions of Swami Vivakanada, the great teacher of Indian

spirituality. She is ushering in a new path of enlightenment to the

world." -Jagadeesh Parr
