There were those who accepted a principle of orderliness in all possible domains of experience from cosmology to music and mathematics in The Pythagorean spirit and in acceptance of ‘rta’. In India mathematical theories have been written in verse and after the term for the poet kavi is used as a synonym for the Philosopher Darshanik. Brilliant contemporary scholars like Prof. D.P. Chattopadhyaya, Prof. G.C. Pandey, Prof. Jayant Vishnu Narliker, Prof. A. Rahman, Prof. Projit Basu and others have in the past two and half decades specially highlighted the point that Philosophy, science, technology and culture are in-fact an interwoven fabric of human civilization and their speciation, differentiation or compartmentalization is mainly due to theoretical need for specialization. It is interesting that a response of awe and wonder at the beauty and charming complexity of the universe is not uncommon among scientists who see religious implications in the intelligibility of the world. As religion seeks meaning and purpose in the interpretation of our being in the world, science helps us to find regularities.
