Professor DS Kotharis Reflections on the Parallelism between Epistemological Foundations of Modern Physics and Philosophical Thought Part I: The Gita and Modern Physics

摘要

My first meeting with Dadaji, as Professor DS Kothari was dearly known to us, began with a question. I was engaged to his grandson (Ranjan) and after the engagement ceremony we went to him to get his blessings. Dadaji asked me: "Whowas Shri Rama's father?" I was taken aback at the question but when I replied that it was Dashrath, he was very happy and blessed us both. I soon learnt that he had this habit of asking simple questions to people to evoke interest in our ancient culture and heritage, especially the Bhagvad Gita.
