In the 18th and 19th centuries, the western world considered India to be a most mysterious land crawling with snakes, tigers and naked fakirs. Hinduism was regarded as the most pathetic of all religions. The Hindus were worshippers of weird gods having hundreds of heads and hands, believers in absurd superstitions and rituals. However in the late 19th and 20th centuries many of the great scholars of Europe like Voltaire, Max Mueller and so on, discovered the Vedas and Upanishads and realized that there was much more to Hinduism than was revealed on the surface. In fact the 20th century brought about a revolution in the minds of educated people all over the world in the way they perceived the world. With the discoveries of quantum physics, scientists were astounded to see the solid, implacable character of the world they lived in, disintegrating before their very eyes! Strangely enough the opposite was the case with those who had studied the various aspects of Hindu thought about the nature of the world. All these years, westerners had laughed in scorn at the idea that the world was “maya” or illusion as the Hindus proclaimed! Surely their own five senses were the best instruments to understand this world, they thought. However, with the discoveries of quantum physics they realized that their five senses were actually giving a distorted vision of reality. Those who were capable of reflection and those who had gone deep into the wisdom of the Vedas started to realize that almost everything about the world as depicted in the ancient Indian scriptures more than ten thousand years ago made perfect sense when seen through the lens of the quantum world.
Brilliant. All the fathers of quantum physics were deeply influenced by Indian philosophy and sought to create a cosmology of comparable parsimony and elegance.
Incredible write. So clear, logical and deeply spiritual. Thank you Maa for sharing this in such simple terms and yet opening our minds to appreciate the wondrous light our Rishis teach. Eager to read the next blog. 🙏

Challenge for the individual is to develop an intelligent awareness and receptivity to cognize.
