[Advaita-l] Evolution and Vedanta

[V Subrahmanian]

Dear Brown,

Welcome to this august forum.  When I read that your current area of
interest is 'evolution' and its relation/relevance with regard to Hindu
systems, I thought you might be interested in reading this article:

By the way, the word 'investigate' means:

in·ves·ti·gate  (n-vst-gt)
*v.* *in·ves·ti·gat·ed*, *in·ves·ti·gat·ing*, *in·ves·ti·gates*
*v.**tr.*
To observe or inquire into in detail; examine systematically.
*v.**intr.*
To make a detailed inquiry or systematic examination.

Warm regards,
