management’ than as a stakeholder in its
own right. The single most promising area
of Vedic knowledge for the future is in vast
realm of mind sciences. This should be the
ongoing research topic for all of us.

While most of the Vedic scientists have been
negligent in doing purvapaksha to understand
the digestion of depths of Vedic thought
thoroughly, the western scientists have been
frantically busy in their mining expedition
to extract and digest Vedic thought and
knowledge. Many Vedic scientists, gurus and
politicians have foolishly been serving such
enterprises in the name of ‘becoming global’.

The Abrahmic religions are disconnected
from both ‘Sruthi’ and modern science.
They do not allow the notion of rishi – state
as a human potential. Therefore, what we
call ‘Sruthi’ is simply unavailable in their
system. Humans, according to them, are
inherently limited only to the ‘Smruti’ level
of knowledge. “To transcend this human
limit of conditioning and context (i.e. to go
beyond the Smriti level), one has to receive
messages from God sent through prophets.
As a result of this the history and texts of
the lineage is all we have to know the higher
truth. This is why the Abrahmic religions are
stuck in the past history and fight to death
over minute details of that history. There are
no Rishis available to them to rediscover the
higher truth for them, because the human
potential does not include such higher states.

The Abrahamic religions have also never had
an adequate frame work for science. On the
contrary, being history – centric has made
them persecute free – thinking. Hence they
cannot even allow new smrithis based on
new contexts and new human experiences.

Dharma-based Metaphysics of science

and spirituality – The Vyavaharika and

Paramardhika

Frame work propped up as Universal

Templeton foundation has been pioneering

on behalf of Judeo-Christianity to bridge

separate worlds of science and religion.

This project was bringing into academic

world the Dharma-based metaphysics of

science and spirituality the vyavarharika

and the paramardhika respectively. This

was hijacked from infinity foundation of

California University. After getting funded

for three years by Infinity foundation,

Templeton Foundation learned about it

and came with much larger funding offers

to take over the project. The direction

was changed and it switched back over to

becoming another Abrahmieat Fanatic one

of digestion projects. They recruited many

Hindu thinkers. Including some prominent

ones that Infinity Foundation had nurtured

for several years.

The above narrated unfortunate turn of

events on to the wrong path is one of several

examples where our intellectuals have been

co-opted by those who want to impose their

world view – a world which is usually based

on the western Judeo-Christian frame work

and propped as the universal. The most

saddening aspect here is that our intellectuals

have, lacked the vision to pursue research

that would be in our best interests. It is the

right time now for our intellectuals to align

and associate with those who are already

doing fundamental foundational work to

imbibe and inculcate our time tested heritage

of universal values.
