Did the Spaceship Appollo Land on the Moon ?
Publisher's Note :
This is a brief report of the public speeches delivered scientifically, by the research scholar, Rev. Muni Sri Abhaysagarji Maharaj Gani, on the subject ; -"The Spaceship Appollo did not land on the Moon", with penetrating intellect, at the Jain Monastery of Indore (42, Peepali Bazar) on the first February 1970 for the benefit of the eager souls.]
The people at large are prone to raise a question out of curiocity when they find no accord with their trust and faith nurtured by religion or scriptures, but are not permitted to enter into any sort of wrangling.
The so-called advocates of modern science has made loud proclamation of their landing on the moon and bringing from there some soil and pieces of rocks as are found from our earthly crust. This has unfolded a new horizon of thought for a thinking man, which has impeded him from varifying the varacity of science. Though the scientists are far remote from the things as they are, they are able to retain their hold on the strength of their net-work of imaginary words.
The classical meaning of the word science is technology or scriptures. The aim of technology is to add to material wealth and that of science is to promote spiritual welfare.
With the aid of technology the scholars of the west went on amassing material wealth, where as the great sages of India went on ruminating on science only with a view to fulfil their spiritual mission.
This does not mean at all that Indians dissociated themselves from the material flow of science, but rather they did not allow their intellect to be confused in the pros and cons of science.
As a matter of fact, philosophy unfolds before us the total perception of an object where as Science reveals only the partial perception on experimental basis only, which can be pithily equated as under
Philosophy is an eye ; science is a lens, Philosophy is a soul ; science is a body, Philosophy is an eye ; science is hands and legs, Philosophy is a right leg ; science is a left leg.
