" The Vedas and Computers By RVSS Avadhanulu gives a lucid exposition

of some basic principles laid down in Mimamsa philosophy vis-à-vis

the modern computational systems. Further it asserts that some of

the latest principles of computer science were already recorded in

the Mimamsa texts. To corroborate with the above statement the

author selects the FORTRAN language of computer to demonstrate the

value of expression by an assignment statement together with the

control transfer statement; form of simple variable; applicatory

injunction; physical & logical sequence with due analysis of the

concepts; Subprogram in the Vedas; data transmission; categorization

of statements; job step concept in computers; queues/stacks &

paurvaparya & vitati; time sharing systems; processing time

computers; Avilamba of Mimamsa; and password concept in light of

Adhikaravidhi.

 

I find the publication the Vedas and Computers highly relevant to

our quest for significantly upgrading modern computational

capability by incorporating the profound wisdom of Vedic computing

into the future algorithms for high performance computing. The value

of Vedic computing , in fact, lies in terms of improved logistic and

faster algorithm. The work of Avadhanulu is highly innovative and

largely original for its applicability and relevance to the modern

computational science. "

" This is a book on an unusual topic of linking the past and present.

It deals with a very new and interesting area. While computers

represent the modern era, the Vedas have a hoary past. While much is

known about the world of computers, the Vedas still have on aura of

mystery. Many Vedic statements have astounded scientists and

astronomers, but there has been no serious effort to unravel the

real meanings behind all the chanting.

 

What the author has done here is to look at some striking

similarities between Vedas and Computers. The book gives an overall

view of some of the areas where computer language and Sanskrit meet.

It takes up to the point where the knowledge embedded in Vedic

Mimamsa can contribute to modern computers in their concepts and

definitions.

 

The author has done a remarkable work in opening up a whole new

world for researchers who could explore whether a system for

processing the statements existed during the Vedic period.

I am sure that this could be the launching pad for those who are

ready to push the idea further. "
