Science
Dear Friends, I am a materials scientist by profession. I am in this profession since 1976 and my experience in analysis of non-living materials by concepts of materials scientist could give a very good sight in comparing materials science with spiritual science. Analysis of materials by any individual whether he/she is an easterner or westerner should give the same data from the analysing tool. Based on the analysis of data one materials scientist used to differ from other materials scientist because of the characteristic nature of interpretation the individual materials scientist will give. This is where concept of spiritual science comes - an important aspect to judge and differentiate between individual and institution (a team work). This prompts me to honour our father of nation Mahatma Gandhi who spoke about individual respect, simple technologies suitable to India. I can go on writing more on this because instability of our nation's economy bothers me for more than a decade. This is my first message and I shall continue depending on the response from other brothers and sisters in India. Now, I conclude with the saying that stability in India can be assured if both materials science and spiritual science are equally practiced for the goal of tranquility among mankind and emerging India as an example to all other countries in the world. Regards, Yours sincerely (K.Varatharajan)

Dear Friends, Please refer to my mail dated 25th September on the subject. Responding to my mail, one Ms. Seema has remarked that the topic is interesting and prompted to me continue. Actually, I wanted to do that yesterday itself. But in the course of actions on laboratory experiments, I after reading the rest of email messages forgetfully deleted all the messages and in that process, I just lost email address of Ms. Seema. So, for the sake of communication, I am continuing on "Science" in this mail and today's topic is "Great men think alike - Viewing through Tamil Scholar `Nakkeerar' and French Physicist,`de Broglie' - Spritual scientist and Materials scientist" Through his work, `THIRU MURUGATTRUPPADAI', Nakkeerar elaborated the spritual characters of Lord Muruga - Lord for Tamil. Eventually, he had touched upon the concept of `Mater and No Mater' in his explanations on Lord Muruga at Palani through the words, "ORU PER URUVIL IRU PER YAAKKAI" meaning that there exist only one body but appears to be in two forms. At Palani, Lord Muruga has assumed the form representing "No Mater". If we interpret this as mater converted into energy, Lord Muruga at Palani is 100% energy. Similarly, Nakkeerar's observation on Lord Muruga at Thiruthani will lead to the understanding that Lord Muruga at Thiruttani is 100% mater. So, Nakkeerar considers Lord Muruga to assume to two forms namely mater and energy with appropriate percentage of composition - i.e. - Dual Nature of Mater (Lord Muruga). This understanding has evolved in his period - aroung 200 to 100 B.C. ( The Period of Last Tamil Sangha). In 20th century, de Broglie's theory on mater - "Dual Nature of Mater" also states that for every moving body (representative of mater) there exists associated wavelength (representative of energy) defined by (h/p) where `h' is Planck's Constant and `p' is the linear momentum of moving body. The vibration associated with the wavelength is perpendicular to the direction in which the body is moving. de Broglie assigned mater and energy to moving bodies down upto the smallest particles like electron, proton, neutron etc. while Nakkeerar assigned all these to Lord Muruga. That is the only difference. But if one carefully looks at the nature of thinking by Nakkeerar and de Broglie, both these scholars think alike. Physicist de Broglie tries to understand the motion of various particles while Nakkeerar tries to understand the tranquility through `mater and no mater forms of Lord Muruga'. So, these two great men think alike. This induces me to interpret further that soul of Tamil scholar Nakkeerar has made a journey for more than 2100 years in the universe and has entered into the body of de Broglie, French Physicist in our days. Prior to him, I do not know in which scholar's body this great soul could have existed and done the spiritual/material duty for the sake of human kind and other constituents of nature, the gift from Almighty. In fact, I have tried to find solutions to various materials science problems through my article, "Tamil and Materials Science", which has already been published in a book, "Tamil and Interdisciplinaries" by Internation Institute for Tamil Studies. This article is in Tamil and I have already its English Version personaly with me. If any one is interested, I can send either Tamil Version or English version. With kind regards, (K.Varatharajan)
