ABSTRACT
In the life of a nation, as in the life of a man, there are moments that have changed the entire course of its eventful history by the totally unexpected happening at an inordinate time. The defining moments of history are almost always inconspicuous situations that plays its assertive role in determining the final outcome of a grand design without in itself seeking prominence or due acknowledgement. This is very true when an individual is involved in the process.

The theory of colors according to the ancient Indians was rooted clear and comprehensively in the Sankhya-Patanjali system. As was known then, the theory was essentially metaphysical in concept and based on then prevalent basics of natural philosophy. What appears striking is that there has been a total failure to understand the role of the eye in the different perceptions. The attempt cannot also be summarily dismissed as it runs parallel to information processing approach in the metaphysical plane.
