METHODS OF VEDIC SCIENCE
Look for knowledge within and not through external translation of Mantras Use Mantras to sharpen your mind, enhance thinking process and discover deep essence. Know the purpose of enquiry. Know why you exist. Know your goal. And know k now how truth brings you closer to your goal.
C AUTIONS IN VEDIC SCIENCE Do not try to deliberately twist mantras to suit modern scientific frameworks. Example: Satva/ Raja/ Tama - Electron, Proton, Neutron Example: Atom = Paramanu Practical Science cannot be discovered without experiments Be unbiased. Do not assume anything - even that Vedas are best. Let that be conclusion.. a conclusion Never fight on definitions. defi nitions. Analyze relationships relations hips between definitions.
DO NO NOT T BE TOO SCI SCIENT ENTIFI IFIC! C! Know the purpose Know that everything cannot be measurable by available methods Know that final truth can be known only by omniscient Know that Vedic physical world includes tangible world PLUS emotions PLUS all feelings. So seek more generic laws. Hence the VEDAS!
