An academic paper posted in a blog of science and technology magazine Discover’s website on July 6 is headlined as “Scientists Predict A Talking Elephant…”.

Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada today, said that in ancient times in Hinduism, Airavata, the four-tusked white elephant, was even capable of producing clouds.

Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, stressed that hidden scientific truths in ancient Sanskrit literature needed to be brought to light. Sanskrit should be restored to its rightful place and should to be brought to the mainstream.

Rajan Zed further said that Sanskrit provided the theoretical foundation of ancient sciences.
The talking white elephant blog was based on an article from journal “Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology”. Award-winning Discover, published by Wisconsin based Kalmbach Publishing Co. and whose tagline is “science for the curious”, reports “developments in science, medicine, technology, and the world around us”.
