Articles: Philosophy | Science Vs Vedas
- Mr. Bhuvanendra Bhupala

Vedas provide us with systematic knowledge in readymade form. However, human beings for whom they are meant do not agree when it is said that the Vedas are beginning less (‘Anaadi’) and authorless (‘Apourusheya Granthas’). There are also others who are not prepared to believe what cannot be proved by the observation and experimentation – things such as other worlds and spiritual beings.
Vedas, being identical with God’s knowledge of external things and beings, it would be foolish to ask when He framed Vedas. During the period of ‘Maha Pralaya’ they remain compressed in the form of ‘OM’, and find _expression again when a new creation begins. They are indestructible in their nature.
Some would call as fictitious whatever they cannot see or experiment upon. But historical points cannot be summarily rejected although such facts may not be routine matters. For example, it is said that Tansen, the court musician of King Akbar, had such mastery over ‘Deeepak Raag’ that he could make the wick of an oil lamp catch fire and get lighted up by virtue of music. It maybe hard to get another Tansen, but what is said of him is history. It really did happen and scores of people witnessed that event in the king’s court then.
Can any singer of the present times do this fete successfully?
According to science, to light an oil lamp, you need a fire source that has the capacity to burn the oil to flash point and then to fire point in order to continuously burn thereafter.(Flash point of a combustible fluid is that temperature at which the vapors just catch fire momentarily but at fire point which occurs at a still higher temperature when the burning of flame is continuous.)
