DRDO chief invokes Vedas to explain intel importance

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

The country’s scientist and DRDO chief Avinash Chander on Tuesday invoked mythology to explain the importance of intelligence network, days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi cited Karna’s birth in Mahabharata to suggest “genetic science” existed in India even in ancient times.

Chander, the man behind the Agni series missiles, while addressing the Intelligence Bureau sleuths said “information gathering and intelligence have been emphasised even in Vedas and Puranas”, and invoked “Rig Veda and Atharva Veda” to send across his point that intelligence gathering had to be abreast with technology.

NSA Ajit Doval, new IB chief Dineshwar Sharma and outgoing IB chief Syed Asif Ibrahim were present on the dais when the DRDO chief addressed the function.

Delivering the 27th Intelligence Bureau Centenary Endowment Lecture, Chander, who is also the scientific advisor to the Defence Minister, said, “Information gathering and intelligence have been emphasised even in Vedas and Puranas. We find the invocations in Rig Veda and Atharva Veda, where it talks how the spies of Agni came down from the sky with thousands of eyes. The son of Brahaspati, teacher of gods, Kaccha was sent as a spy to Sukracharya to know the Sanjeevani mantra as explained in Mathsyapurana.” His term expired on December 1, but he was retained for two more years by the NDA government to head the post.

Chander, a IIT graduate, said, “In Sabhaparvam of Mahabharata ‘Lokapala Sabhakhayana Parva’ explains the importance of information gathering, establishing the spy network and related instrumentation in connection with the armed forces.”

To make his point, Chander said, “Arthashastra by Kautilya defines it as an integral part of court craft. The first of two chapters on establishing an intelligence system explain five kinds of spies for gathering internal intelligence.”

To get funds i guess it is appropriate to talk in the language which sounds bell to the ear of PM. Mr Modi has deep belief in ancient hindu mythology and if DRDO chief uses that context to gain more fund i guess that is fine..nothing more i can read from this.

The Link Between Ancient and Modern required; That would be Best.

More over Karna Birth was not due to genetic science but due to Mantra given to Kuntima, Its still known to some person I know, and it is said the mantra is enough to conceive the child, the Mantra is different then science.

We have Two kind of the Spiritual Knowledge, One is "Para" and Second is "Apara"; The "Apara" is the knowledge for the "Bhautik Sukha" (Material/phisical happiness); The Purana and Vedas are mostly related to the such Apara Knowledge; But there is Para Knowledge which is related to the Science Beyond Science. The Physics always said they have knowledge of Physics, which is the existence after the Big bang of Egg; But not Before It and they dont care for that what was before it. known as "Adi bhautic" Upanishad and gita is related to the Para knowledge.

Considering No. of Vedas, Upvedas, Purans, Uppurans, which are Bulky; To know the Best Knowledge of Apara and Self I would prefer the Bhagwat Gita; Just once read it; All vedas are came from Ved Vyasa; But Gita is from mouth of God; and you willl be found what is in that small pocket size book..............how god has given the knowledge of self and ultimate; read it and feel it............
