Aamir Khan pays heartfelt tribute to the legendary Jain Saint scientist, Professor Dr Mahendra Kumar ji

Sometime ago, actor Aamir Khan met Muni Mahendra Kumar ji and had a deep conversation along with producer Mahaveer Jain and Sr IRS Ashok Kothari about Jain philosophies, spirituality and science. They discussed that harmony is urgently needed today to unite science and spirituality.

Muni Mahendra Kumarji was often referred to as Human-Computer. He had demonstrated Avadhana Vidya, the rare ancient science of memory power and oral mathematical calculations, at several universities and international conferences.

His book "The Enigma Of Universe" was launched by respected late-ex president, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.

Renowned scientist and Professor Stephen Hawkins's guru and mentor, Sir Roger Penrose, used to have a close discussion with Dr Mahendra Kumar ji.

He was a versatile scholar of diverse disciplines like physics, biosciences, parapsychology and meditation, besides being conversant with modern languages including English, German, and ancient languages including Sanskrit, Prakrit, and Pali. He has learnt as many as 18 languages!

Mahaveer Jain and Ashok Kothari shared that Aamir Khan himself admires and follows Jain principles like Anekantavada (respect the different perspectives), non-violence & Aprigraha (the virtue of non-possessiveness, to use only what you need) 

The disciple of Jain Terapanth Acharya Mahashramanji, Prof Muni Mahendra Kumarji, passed for heavenly abode on April 6 in Mumbai.
