As the title suggests, The Inevitable Zero revolves around the zero (0). Is it merely a number? What else does the zero mean? The zero symbolizes nothingness as well as completeness. Much research has been done on its invention; but, we are yet to arrive at a conclusion as to who invented the zero. There has been much debate as to where the zero took birth. However, what do The Vedas say about it? Kaushik Acharya, author of the much acclaimed book, Mumuksha, has categorically documented the sources on the invention of the zero. Acharya, in this book, upholds The Vedas that bore several links and clues to the mysteries that surround the zero. The exploration will also enlighten the readers on how the people of the Vedic era found the nuances of self-realization through their tryst with the zero.
