Rangarajan, known by his pen name Sujatha, is well known to Tamil readers for more than 4 decades. His writings started with short stories in Kumudham, aTamil weekly, spread over to Ananda Vikatan etc., with novels and other articles. There was a time that there was no Tamil magazine which did not carry atleast one article by him. He revolutionised the writing style in tamil literature with new style of story telling. He also specialised in bringing out articles on scientific subjects, being himself an electronics engineer working with Bharat Electronics. Having been born in and brought up in an arthodox Hindu family of Sri Rangam, he also brought out Articles on Hindu religious subjects, specialising in Vaishnavite literature, being an ardent devotee of Azhvars.<br /><br /> In the present work named Kadavul in Tamil (Meaning God) he attempts to establish the connection between the present day explorations in science, especially Quantun theory by Einstein and other scientists and how the recent findings were related to God in Old religious literature of Hindu Religion such as Upanishads. Specially, he quotes in many places, the Pasurams of Nammalvar in Nalayira Divya Prabhandham, and tries to demystify the centuries old verses in relation to the recent scientific revelations. <br /><br />His efforts to relate physics to religion seems to be mostly supported by the book 'The Tao of Physics: An Exploration of the Parallels Between Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism' by physicist Fritjof Capra, as he rightly quotes in page 238/239 of his present book.<br /><br />This book is a 'Good read' for anybody who is interested in science, especially physics and in religious literature. <br />As this book needs more ponderance on each line of his writing than a fast reading like anovel, this book of 272 pages took more than week to study and complete. <br /><br />As usual, one more masterpiece of Sujatha.

Review: கடவுள் [Kadavul]

கடவுள்  [Kadavul] கடவுள் [Kadavul] by சுஜாதா
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rangarajan, known by his pen name Sujatha, is well known to Tamil readers for more than 4 decades. His writings started with short stories in Kumudham, aTamil weekly, spread over to Ananda Vikatan etc., with novels and other articles. There was a time that there was no Tamil magazine which did not carry atleast one article by him. He revolutionised the writing style in tamil literature with new style of story telling. He also specialised in bringing out articles on scientific subjects, being himself an electronics engineer working with Bharat Electronics. Having been born in and brought up in an arthodox Hindu family of Sri Rangam, he also brought out Articles on Hindu religious subjects, specialising in Vaishnavite literature, being an ardent devotee of Azhvars.

In the present work named Kadavul in Tamil (Meaning God) he attempts to establish the connection between the present day explorations in science, especially Quantun theory by Einstein and other scientists and how the recent findings were related to God in Old religious literature of Hindu Religion such as Upanishads. Specially, he quotes in many places, the Pasurams of Nammalvar in Nalayira Divya Prabhandham, and tries to demystify the centuries old verses in relation to the recent scientific revelations.

His efforts to relate physics to religion seems to be mostly supported by the book 'The Tao of Physics: An Exploration of the Parallels Between Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism' by physicist Fritjof Capra, as he rightly quotes in page 238/239 of his present book.

This book is a 'Good read' for anybody who is interested in science, especially physics and in religious literature.
As this book needs more ponderance on each line of his writing than a fast reading like anovel, this book of 272 pages took more than week to study and complete.

As usual, one more masterpiece of Sujatha.
