Paroksha knowledge and Pratyaksha knowledge by Dr.

N.R.Joshi

I respect Dr. S.Bhattacharya for his sincere efforts

in interpreting and presenting the knowledge from ancient Indian scriptures.

However reference to Paroksha knowledge is opening door to all kind of

scattered interpretations. I experienced this always when I attend lectures of

Swamis, Gurus. The sad part is that highly educated doctors and engineers are

attracted to intangible when they spent their whole life in discovering

tangible knowledge. There is something in Hindu character that attracts him to

intangible. My friend (chemical engineer) used to give talk on Vedas. I asked

him few difficult questions about Vedas. He said “Joshiji, 99% Hindu people do

not know Sanskrit. They have vague idea about greatness of Vedas. So I just

throw names of sages like Atri,Vasistha, Agastya and describe their greatness

along with greatness of ancient India. And this works. They invite me to give

talk, take me home and feed me. Look what else I want other than respect and

company of our educated people”. On this background Dr.Bhattacharya is making

some good efforts. I personally will not go for Paroksha knowledge. This is so

because I read how Yask (Nirukta fame) Patanjali (Mahabhashya fame) are

fighting with interpretation of Sanskrit words. In the book that I am reading

at present by the respected author from Japan on Mahabhashya, there are pages

after pages to work out correct meanings of Sanskrit words Kriya, and Bhaava.

Oral transmission of Vedas is the greatest achievement of Indian Brahmins and

Sages. I respect them and feel proud of India. However I, as a scientist and

engineer, cannot go in front of educated Indian people and talked to them

Parokska knowledge. During my power point presentation on “Mahabharata history

or myth?” and on “Internal Beauty of Sanskrit”, I tell audience that I am

standing in front of with necktie and not with saffron color clothes, so you

can ask any question and I will answer. If I do not have answer, I will say I

do not know. But I will never say that I cannot tell you Paroksha knowledge. In

my presentation there are references of books. People can look into them. I say

clearly, I am either right or wrong. I do not have any hidden knowledge because

my whole life is gone in discovering technological knowledge Thanks. Please

pardon me for a bit long e-mail. N.R.Joshi.

This mail of Mr N.R.Joshi does not prove anything at all, it is only a

character assassination of Mr Sunil Bhattacharjya.
