Once He was camping in the mines area in Vassangere in Karnataka which belonged to Sandur Maharaja. On that day He was sitting on a tarpaulin along with the other devotees. Annathurai Iyengar of Veda Raksha Nidhi Trust was also there with a few
students from his Veda Patashala. It was around 10.30 in the night. The Sandur Maharaja, Maharani and their son were also there. His son was a Reader in the Department of Mathematics at Yale University in the US. He had a PhD degree in Maths. His parents were standing there
respectfully before Him but he appeared to be quite casual. Periyava conversed with the Maharaja and Maharani in Kannada for a while. After a while He turned towards their son and asked,
"Where do you live? What are you doing?"
"I am a Reader in Maths Department at the Yale
"Where do you live? What are you doing?"
"I am a Reader in Maths Department at the Yale
University", he replied.
"What have you studied, you have done your PhD in which branch of Maths", He asked.
Their son did not answer for a minute, hesitating to reply as he was unsure if Swamigal could make sense of what he had studied. His father goaded him to reply.

Their son did not answer for a minute, hesitating to reply as he was unsure if Swamigal could make sense of what he had studied. His father goaded him to reply.
"Quantum
Theory”, he said, matter-of-factly.
Swamigal drew a +ve sign on the mud and circled it; He also drew a -ve sign and circled it. Pointing to the two signs Swamigal asked him,
"Did you use the positive or the negative approach in your Quantum Theory PhD thesis study?"

"Did you use the positive or the negative approach in your Quantum Theory PhD thesis study?"
Their son who
was a bit indifferent until then, was startled to hear this from Him. He was trembling for words and suddenly became more respectful and replied,
"Positive Approach."
"Why did you not take the Negative Approach, will you do you it later", He asked.
"It is difficult to use the
"Positive Approach."
"Why did you not take the Negative Approach, will you do you it later", He asked.
"It is difficult to use the
Negative Approach", he said.
Swamigal looked at Annathurai Iyengar and said, "He is saying it is difficult; can you ask the Veda students to recite this particular verse from Rig Veda?"and prompted them with first two words. The students recited that particular verse for 5minutes

After this He turned to their son and said, "You must have obtained your PhD in your 24th or 25th year correct?"
"In my 25th year", said he.
"Rig Veda, the verse which you heard now, talks both about the Positive and the Negative approaches", He said. The son was astonished and
"In my 25th year", said he.
"Rig Veda, the verse which you heard now, talks both about the Positive and the Negative approaches", He said. The son was astonished and
requested the students to recite the verse again.
"Are you now thinking that you need not have spent lakhs and lakhs of rupees for your 25 years of education and if only you had studied the Vedas you would have learnt this Truth in just 7 years?!", replied Lord Parameshwara."
