Scientific Secrets of Jainism
(ISRO),' 'Vikram Sarabhai Community Center' etc. of Ahmedabad, look upon Dr Vaidya with full respect and regard his opinions as authentic. Dr Vaidya has been an honorary member or chairperson of many foreign institutes dealing with relativity, gravitational force and mathematics. He has also graced the chair of a good many science conferences
In order to make students take interest in mathematics, he established' Gujarat Ganit Mandal'. Through it, he publishes the magazine, 'Suganitam'. Since 33 years 'Gujarat Ganit Mandal' has been regularly publishing 'Suganitam'. All the credit for it goes to Dr Vaidya and his nephew Prof. Arunbhai Vaidya who is also a mathematician. He has also published as many as seven books. Frequently, he wrote articles in the magazines Kumar, Buddhiprakash, Navchetan etc. The letters that he wrote to his daughters are of such high value that they serve as special articles. Even today he regularly writes every week one letter on an average to one or another of his daughters.
It is a great fortune of India and especially of Gujarat to have such distinguished mathematician. By giving to Dr Vaidya in July, 1993, the Dr Vikram Sarabhai Award for science out of the seven awards meant for the best persons in seven different fields, the Gov. of Gujarat has rightly appreciated his services and research contribution.
It is a happy coincidence that the Bose-Einstein statistics of Dr Satyendranath Bose and Dr P. C. Vaidya's research regarding the field of gravitational force of radiating stars substantiates the concept of physics of Jain Philosophy.
In February 1991, a conference about Jain philosophy and modern science was organized by the Jain Centre of Ahmedabad. Two important research papers about Jain philosophy and physics were presented in the conference. 1. Limitations of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity--- a paper written by Munishri Nandighoshvijayji and presented by Prof. H. F. Shah, Professor of the famous St. Xavier's College of Ahmedabad. 2. Jain philosophy and Bose-Einstein statistics' --- a paper written and presented by Prof. Parasmal Agrawal (Madhya pradesh).
Bose-Einstein statistics enlightens on particles of ideal gases and photon particles. In the whole of the universe, space-units are limited in number and pudgala particles are infinite in number according to the Jain philosophy.
