About the Book
From time of cognitive revolution, man was curious to understand the creation and its relationship to him. His primary goal was to be happy. He wanted to know and experience how the creation - its true light - can direct, teach, contribute and hold him to reach that goal. This untiring search for the true light, resulted in the blossoming of the thoughts enshrined in the Vedas. Vedas rested mostly on intuitive ideas, power - reinforced by faith. Over the centuries, the search also took an alternative route based on analytical and experimental discoveries, generally covered under "Science". Both are in search of the common ideals yet their approaches have been sometimes parallel and divergent on a few other occasions. The truth and basics being same, both contributed to each other knowingly or unknowingly. The search still continues.
There are students devoted to either of the schools - Science and Vedas - and they can see
commonalities in thought, method and principles. This book aims to strengthen their belief both in
intuitive logic and analytics based on observation. It further explores such commonalities with an
open mind, however accepting the intermediary divergences as is.
The approach taken in this book is to keep the granules of the elements as a mixture (i.e., each
maintaining its identity) and not as a alloy (losing their original properties to form a new idea itself) -
leaving scope for newer developments.
