My posting NEVER meant to foist the impression of Sri
Chandrashekarendra Sarasvati as a Scientist. There was a shade of
name calling in one of the postings and my posting just meant to
remind the folks of the stature of the person. Personally my
respect to every individual is for who he is, and not what he is.
In the case of Sri Chandrashekarendra Sarasvati too, my respects are
for his attainments in the domain of spirit and insights into them but
certainly not for his views on science.
Further, if he meant to garner credit for the Hindu mind, it was
his opinion and to defend which, the person not being around - name
calling with personal biases is certainly not the bent of mind
to be displayed.
In the spirit of true discussions, Shri Rajan has posted his
apology for name calling and so the matter ends there as far as
I am concerned.

This certainly was uncalled for, but you have every right to
say so.

I think I am clear. It is just that there is no point in quoting
religious texts with apparent scientific leanings, in scientifc
contexts. Even if it is a book, it is still worthwhile to cite
the name and chapter than just lift text and post it. I still
hold that reading much more than what the Hindu mind has
actually achieved is going a way much overboard.

Certainly I did not mean it that way, unless you personally had
something against Sri Chandrashekarendra Sarasvati himself to
imagine that I am doing so.
