THE ENIGMA OF RAMA SETHU

THE ENIGMA OF RAMA SETHU
BY
S. MAHESHKUMAR


DIVINITY and Science can go together in an amicable world where there is mutual respect for the sole benefit of mankind. It is unwise to deem Science as a dogma as theology is trying to deem Divinity. The relation between Divinity and Science is that the former is the culmination of the latter. India is the temple of the world where gods have been evolving, spreading the spirituality of the eternal Vedas. As Science is not complete enough to boast that it has conquered the Super-Science of Nature, how can scientific speculations about the Enigma of the Rama Sethu be accurate? India has been subjected to countless invasions for its treasures, from the recent past by the Moguls followed by the British, by the multinational companies, by the corrupt politicians, etc., at present, but the spiritual treasure of India has been protecting and acting as a guardian angel testifying the fuzzy courses of the world for ages!

The greatness of the Rama Sethu is that it has survived numerous natural calamities, such as the recent Tsunami, and still it stands erect as the divine testimony of the gods surpassing the incomplete wisdom of science. If Lord Rama really ever trekked on the Rama Sethu along with His clique leading to Sri Lanka, to retrieve his beloved consort Sri Sita Devi, that episode of the Divine alone could shield the Rama Sethu from the bastions of pseudoism who are neither scientific nor divine enough to adjudge the limitedness of science and appreciate the greatness the divine! Belief is to Divinity as enquiry is to Science, the inseparable tools of enlightenment! It is impious to cherish Divinity by mere enquiry only as it is nasty to practice Science by mere belief alone!! Actually, the spirit of enquiry matures into belief alongside the maturity of Science into Divinity!!!

Science is still combating to resolve many deadly diseases, trying to comprehend the vistas of the Universe, assessing the working of the Brain, decoding the DNAs, and so on. Even the meteorological science is uncertain as to the exact prediction of the weathers of nature. One faction of politicians points out at their convenience the immature scientific speculations that the Rama Sethu was not man-made and therefore be destroyed and the other faction suggests in favour of their beliefs in divinity citing alternate routes without affecting the Rama Sethu to effect the proposed Sethu Samudram Project.

If there are alternate routes apart from the Route of the Rama Sethu to accomplish the Dream Project of Sethu Samudram, what prevents some politicians to never yield?; are they trying to hurt the religious feelings of the Hindus?; are they under the influence of any international conspiracy by declaring for the international sea traffic a passage that is as close to the Indian Coastal Region as that of the Rama Sethu posing a severe threat to the National Security?; are they under pressure to return their share of commissions if they change their minds?; are they to garner affluence by illegally exporting the largest thorium deposits available in the world at the southern tip of India extending up to the Kerala beach?; and such questions line up to expose the culprits.

May Lord Rama protect His Sethu and His believers from the clutches of the wicked Ravanas in the disguise of nasty politicians and their baleful allies!
