Subject: Re: [Oppiliappan] Fwd: [T'venkatam] Socrates: The "vEdAntin" of Athens -- #1

It is indeed a beautiful presentation -- comparing the thoughts of Scrates with that of Vedanta. It proves the fact that right thinking people always think similarly. Right thinking -- that is the basis. Morover, in ancient times there had been some sort of interaction between our land and Greece. Hence, it is no wonder for such similarity in thoughts of renowned thinkers, like Socrates and Plato. Such thought glows at times of crisis like facing death punishment. True thinkers do not fear death and they continue to think dispassionately. It is our luck that the thoughts of thinkers like Socrates are available to us, unlike ours as many of our vedantic works have been lost because of lack of due preservation. Many works in 'chuvadis' are still awaiting scholars to bring them to light. They may perhaps give us more insight into our siddhanta.
