Collum

"A very interesting account of the work of Sir Jagadis Bose." Oxford Magazine

This essay suggests that recognition of the ceaseless flow of the Dance of Civa (Life and Death) is the most promising cure for the misunderstandings that have arisen from a Western habit of assuming that conventional categories have tangible existence.
