yes godTell us something unexpected about yourself!

I always stood out in a crowd, rather the other way round. For instance, during my engineering days, I would go to the gym, around five in the morning and would do yoga, when others were toiling and sweating profusely with their push-ups and sit-downs.

 

How did you get into writing?

The writing – God blessed me all of a sudden during my early thirties. It started with poetry, when all of a sudden, words came like a “battalion of saints”.

 

Where did the idea for your current book come from?

I was fascinated by the huge temple towers of South India and always thought that there are some mysteries shrouding within those huge structures. I started researching on it and got into many relevant texts. The ancient Indian writings have a touch of secrecy embodied within them. Nearly as old as the civilization itself, it concerns itself with one of the most fundamental questions faced by any society. That question is – what is the relationship between the Creator and human beings? Indeed, this question appears to be a frequent point of debate. There is a whole bunch of different ways to refer to it.

Surprisingly, the scriptures of Vedas have an answer to this fundamental perplexing question. Unfortunately, this idea could be understood only by those who got initiated into a spiritual life. What I unfold here through this book, ‘Yes, God is a Mathematician” is that another scripture, Vedic architecture really encodes a mathematical and physical model of this relation.

 

How long did it take you to write this book?

Writing this book has been a rich, intriguing, challenging, puzzling, and exhilarating experience. It involved a lot of research. Not to mention, the research consumed a lot of time.

Further, to complicate the situation, I have decided to make this idea accessible to all in a story format. All these factors culminated in consuming six long years to write this book. However, Research has been an extremely delightful experience for me, and I had the opportunity to learn many exciting new things.

 

Have you got any writing rituals?

Yeah, I need complete silence to write. Mostly, I write during the night.

 

How important is marketing and social media for you?

Marketing and social media are certainly unavoidable in the current scenario. For a writer, this is challenging as well, because after getting exhausted with writing, he or she has to divert to a totally different footing. It was difficult for me at first to attune to this challenging proposition.

 

What advice would you have for other writers?

Writing is mostly a challenging profession. Building a successful book requires one to see the big picture. At the same time, one has to go into the minute details. Coincidentally, I’m explaining about this procedure in my book, ‘Yes, God is a Mathematician’.

“A book,” Dharman said, leaning backward on his desk, his arms crossed. “What a concept! First – a single idea. Ideas start to flow, one by one. Then clearly several ideas – all connected to one another. If all these ideas, characters, and actions are in perfect unison, then there is the possibility of a great novel. This possibility becomes a reality if the author is able to transform all these into great words, sentences, and paragraphs. Then, a great book is born.”
Last but not least, if you have an unshakable confidence in what you do, no one can change your course.

 

Do you read your book reviews?

Yes, I do. They are valuable because they act like a mirror for you. They give many valuable insights and provide one with another perspective of one’s own writing.

 

What are you reading now?

To tell the truth, I’m not reading anything now. Marketing consumes a lot of my time. I’m into writing my next book as well.

 

What's your next step?

 ‘Yes, God is a Mathematician’ has a religious tone in it. It’s also in a story format. That makes it difficult for a section of readers. I’m now trying to make it accessible to the scientific fraternity. There, you have to change your verbiage. You have to use ultimate reality instead of God (laughing) and have to make so many changes accordingly. In this book, I’m introducing a ‘new theory of everything’ which is easily accessible to all. Surprisingly, my theory of everything proves Max Tegmark’s hypothesis.
