Namaskara,

 

There is an organization in Bangalore called

Karnataka Haridasa Scientific Research Center.

Prof. Ranganath Bharadhwaj (founder) has done

a mathematical interpretation of verses in

Harikathamrutasara of Shri Jagannatha Dasaru.

 

More details can be found at

Interesting.

Not sure about what other commentators have to say

about these, but i know one such institution in

Bangalore (by name Sri Vedavyasa Sanskrit Research

Foundation) headed by Sri. Pejavara Swamiji is doing

research into similar areas such as

a) Western and oriental approaches

b) Philosophical problems and their solutions

c) Physics greets philosophy

d) A study of Mathematics and philosophy

e) Application of modern technology etc.....

 

You may be able to contact them for additional

details.

 

Their email id is vinay_acharpv

 

Address is:-

291, 52nd cross, 4th block, Rajajinagar,

Re: [sVBM:] Fwd: Sri Madhvacharya on Theory of

Mr. Aditya:

 

I am totally ignorant about the Dvaita's contribution to mathematics. I still

like to call out

your attention to a minor point.

 

As you may know, a Madhavacharya (14th-15th century, note the 'a' before the

'v') is well known in

Hindu Philosophy for his acclaimed work, " Sarvadarshanasamgraha. " He was an

advaitin yet is known

to have provided a systematic and an accurate summary of the major Hindu

philosophical systems in

his time, and certain writers hold that the MADhva system's (Dvaita) claim to

general attention

was through Madhavacharya's inclusion of it in the above referred work.

 

So, are you sure that the Madhavacharya of

 

" * Madhavacharya discovered Taylor series of Sine and Cosine function about

250 years before

Taylor. "

 

is the same as our SrI MaDhvAchArya?

 

Thanks,

Vijay

Another point worth mentioning may be the gact that

Srimad Acharaya in his MBTN has talked about Paramanu

(atomic matter) and the concept of divisibility of

matter into infinitesimally small particles. If

understood properly, this may be a key factor in

deriving some of the emerging discoveries in quantum

physics and nuclear science.

Vijay,

 

As I read thru' Aditya's email this morning, I thought

he may be confusing madhavacharya for madhvAchArya and

responded to that email with a question for him. That

email still did not show up in vms group.

 

Going slightly on a tangent...,

In a separate email Mr Raghu mentioned about

divisibility of space and time. THis can be read from

Dr BNKS Philosophy of madhvAchArya latest edition page

126

 

quote begin-- "

This is supported by a passage from the Bhagavata

(iii. 30.43) quoted by Madhva. He holds that space and

time are

infinitely divisible, into further spaces and further

parts of time,

each such part being held to be a 'natural' part of it

and not merely

conditioned by Upadhis. "

----stop quoting here.

 

This chapter (X1) gives a greater detail of concept of

*space and time* as viewed by achArya (and obviously

he does not make things up but quotes it from correct

*places*....although not everything is quoted in the

text book, one will have to read thru' either the

original terse work of achArya or his commentators).

 

Regards, Jayaprakash
