Hinduism does not impose its values on anyone nor is it involved in evangelist practices. So dont be put off by some persons who might have bugged you with their beliefs. Yes, there would be misconceptions in the understanding of the ancient hindus but give them a break my friend. They have actually tried to understand various physical and biological processes scientifically and you need to give them credit for getting quite a few things right. Hinduism has got the concept of a singularity from which everything originates and ultimately ends - 'big bang' anyone. Their cosmological timescale is pretty accurate given that they did not have the benefits of modern science. Sure, modern human evolution timescales don't fit into their calculations, but parallel universes do. Of course we can argue that a very abstract idea can lend itself to many inferences. <br /><br />Ayurveda, meditation etc have all had their origins and developments in Hinduism. Ayurveda has got concrete medical science behind it - take a look at the NIH papers and you can see proofs. <br /><br />I appreciate your effort to separate the wheat from the chaff, but do open your mind up a little more.exploringdukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18158378158065347520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467541529999311681.post-64734704970079085732013-09-11T23:48:29.468+05:302013-09-11T23:48:29.468+05:30I am not contesting the views of the reviewer here...I am not contesting the views of the reviewer here as everyone is permitted their own view of anything not withstanding what is true or not. My question here is about the heading where a Upanishad is used to call the vedas as primitive. Upanishads are not vedas nor are vedas derived from Upanishad.<br />- AVGSBKRSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467541529999311681.post-8520627753683101662012-06-25T12:21:37.551+05:302012-06-25T12:21:37.551+05:30The reviewer is probably unaware of the panchikara...The reviewer is probably unaware of the panchikarana process by which five mahabhutas are supposed to evolve. These are not exclusively and necessarily material objects; they are perceptual qualities (tanmatras) and their associated physicality which when intermixed gives us full-blown sensory data of five senses in the form of earth. So, here tanmatras are nothing but later day (18th century) monads of Leibniz. In essence, since th theory does not talk about exclusive physical objects but perceptual entities this becomes a meta-theory and applying science to it is superfluous. ...

I’m not contesting that."<br /><br />Why don't you admire the valid points, considering how much empirical observations must have gone into it before all that was written? That too in the distant past, without benefit of modern equipment like microscopes, all with naked eyes?Water Engineerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00713301838563219216noreply@blogger.com
