In one of the very first
introductory sessions one of our lecturer warmly welcomed ‘welcome to the
museum..whatever you read, learn is all history, which has very minimal
relevance to your life and future’ I was shocked. What am I doing here?
And all these years we have been taught the
atmosphere is composed of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen. Human body
consists of 206 bones, there is blood, lymph, muscles, brain, spine, heart,
lungs in it. That’s what science is all
about, that’s how we have been taught. Suddenly you are being told that this
universe or prapancham is composed of 5 mahabhutas. And you have thri doshas, 7
dhatus in your body. I was bewildered, confused.
