About fifteen years ago he came across the works of Pandit Madhu Sudan Ojha and Pandit Moti Lal Shastri on Vedas. He came to Jaipur and devoted lot of time to study them. He came to the conclusion that both the scholars had done in the past. Dr. Ramanathan goes to the extent of saying the Pandit Madhu Sudan Ojha was the greatest scholars and is still doing. He is completely dedicated to Vedic works. For, the past few years he has been writing in English on Ojha’s works. He thinks that the works of Ojha must come to the notice of world scientists and scholars because Ojha has highlighted the scientific aspect of Vedas which deals with the creative process of the universe and evolution. Never before this kind of work was done. Dr Ramanathan firmly believes that Ojha’s work can contribute a lot to the scientific understanding of the Vedas and can lead to more organized studies and research today.
