P. N. Rangan (1951– 8 November 2011, known by his pen name Manu) was an Indian scientist and Kannadiga author.
Career
Manu wrote more than 9 books in 9 publications in Kannada, Telugu and English languages.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
"The incidents, anecdotes and themes delineated in the Rigveda, Purusha Sookta, Upanishads, and the Mahabharata involving immortals, mortals and demons with varied landscape and ambience emphasised by magical realism and the undercurrent of political realities disturbed me to the core. Being a student of science and culture, I struggled to find a balanced answer. Established scientific theories and several interpretations of Rigveda helped me discern a method of understanding the relative relationship between the two great texts."
"I am too small a person to speak authoritatively and affirmatively on the issues involved. I am aware it demands hard work from great scholars and scientists as Rigveda can only be understood by complete scientific approach. Complete scientific approach means authentic and comprehensive understanding of innumerable faculties of science. Maha Samparka is a humble attempt in this direction. Now I am all set to devote the rest of my life to work on Bruhad Bharata, a logical extension of Maha Samparka. I feel I am blessed if my work stands the test of the time."
