Critique Non-Advaita Schools (A Contemporary Research)
What constitutes a philosophy? What constitutes a critique? Are there sufficient common denominators on which one philosophy can critique another? Even if it is possible to critique, what could be the purpose of such a critique? Who could be the audience the critique is addressed to? What is a reasonable approach to critique?
Pursuit of truth is the most personal goal since it cannot be pursued for another’s sake; every philosophy boasts of siddhas who have made it; yet, truth varies from being one non-dual entity, to being non-existent, to being many which are self- contradictory aJl at the same time. Could aJl the siddhas have made it, despite truth being different for everyone? Is siddhi independent of truth? If not, how to know what the real truth is?
All philosophies either arrived at and/or enumerated their conclusions based on popular worldly models. However, the advent of Science has challenged many such conclusions; Is there a need to upgrade the traditional narrative in the light of scientific discoveries? Would that result in truth itself being upgraded?

The whole play of life on the earth is due to the assimilated carbon,it has been explored under the wedding of Aryaman. The living organisms at cellular level exhibits the same functions,it has been discussed under The race of Rbhus. Dr. Trivedi has given in his interpretation of Vedic hymns,The theory of chemical evolution of life on the earth as suggested by A.I. Oparin in 1922,which is the testimony that beyond this the scientists have not traced the theory about the life energy and Rebirth,the discovery of DNA by Watson and Crick in 1955 has opened the door of Biotechnology all over the world but they are silent on Rebirth,the Vedic knowledge of DNA can open new fields of Research in this direction,as Dr. Trivedi has also discussed the theory of Rebirth with reference to the Vedic knowledge. The work of Dr. Trivedi reveals the fact that once in the history,Vedic culture flourished on the earth,without it such work having global importance is not possible,it is also not possible that through meditation in the state of trance,such knowledge can be explored?
