Indeed. (Read the attached post first, then till the end of this post). Carl Sagan (Legendary Cosmologist) - "The Hindu religion is the only one of the world’s great faiths dedicated to the idea that the Cosmos itself undergoes birth and death in cycles." Neils Bohr (Atomic model) - "I go into the Upanishads to ask questions." Robert Oppenheimer (Father of Atomic bomb) - "Access to the Vedas is the greatest privilege this century may claim over all previous centuries." Erwin Schrodinger (Quantum mechanics) - "Atman = Brahman. The multiplicity is only apparent. This is the doctrine of the Upanishads." Nicola Tesla (Legendary inventor) - "All perceptible matter comes from a primary substance, or tenuity beyond conception, filling all space, the Akasha or luminiferous ether, which is acted upon by the life-giving Prana or creative force, calling into existence, in never ending cycles, all things and phenomena." Fritjof Capra (Particle physicist) - "For the modern physicists, Shiva’s dance is the dance of subatomic matter." Albert Einstein - "When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous" Carl Jung (Analytical psychology) - "Our unconscious definitely prefers the Hindu interpretation of immortality." Nietzsche (popular philosopher) - "There are so many dawns that have not yet broken" (from the Rig Veda). Arthur Schopenhauer (pessimistic philosophy) - "In the whole world there is no study so beneficial and so elevating as that of the Upanishads. It has been the solace of my life—it will be the solace of my death." Then there are so many other legends in science, philosophy, and other fields who were highly influenced and inspired by Indian philosophy, like - Mark Twain, Victor Cousin, Alfred North, Romain Rolland, Rudolf Steine, Humboldt, Voltaire, Huxley, Emerson etc. But the average Indian ignorant programmed by communists, imperialists, and racists by education, then thinking they are very educated and smart - "The vedas are mythology, Indian scriptures are religious rubbish, there is no use for them, we need to burn the bhagavat gita and eradicate sanatana dharma." If you are someone still thinking like the above, or asking "what's the use now", first find out for yourself why some of the greatest modern minds read them and swear by them. And they do this even in the age of AI. Ask Sam Altman what he believes is the ultimate truth. -
