Hello profile name 'an observer" .

Since you claim "Rambachan has independent scholarship lasting several decades..he has found his own voice".

My question to you and Rambachan is: Where did Rambachan use his Voice and what good it did to the Hindu cause?

1. Has Rambahan ever lobbied thru his Western Scholar friends clan to take on other side who undermines Hinduism all over the academia, media and think-tanks?

2. What are Rambacchan's achievements in setting the record streights thru his scholarship?

3. Vatican and evangelists with whom Rambachan have cozy relationships and have show off meetings don't give a damn about What Dharma means but they demonize it in broad day light to Global accidence.

Watch here and show it to Rambachan, please.

As far your further read request is concerned : If you want to see and understand what Rambahan says in his thesis (read full thesis first, over 500 pages), read his books, and then Read Paul Hacker, Agehanand Bharati, Wilhelm Halbfas, Ursula King, Brian Pennington, Richard king etc. to know what they say about India as a Nation, a culture, a civilization and its dharmic traditions, then look at Rambachan's thesis again to see how it fits in the neo-hinduism thesis fabricated by western crooks. If you really want to find rebuttal of Rambachan's 13 points, people have done it already here on this page. You got to see and understand it. I can't make you see. This whole defense drama is about the forthcoming meeting where haf is promoting Rambachan as undisputed leader to represent dharma and India to deal with Vatican when Rambachan is already in the good books of Vatican supported scholars.

Its a dangerous game Vatican is playing among Hindus. Hindus are stupid, still.

Rambachan writes: "The author characterizes me as the person who the Vatican regards as “its Hindu expert.” Such characterizations reveal ignorance of my personal history and have no place in any work that seeks to be regarded as serious scholarship."



Why does not Rambachan come clean and say what he is doing mixed up with the Vatican? How is that helping Hindu cause?

Way too many advaita ashrams appearing/setting up shop. And all breakaway sects (Dayananda) from breakaways (Chinmayanda). And then the final ones (Dayananda's) end up aligning with the Vatican. Guess Vatican doesn't even need a De Nobili any more. Christian writers on the history of the mission in India, quoting De Nobili, did indicate he thought the church should concentrate on subsuming Vedanta.



Some of the attempts are not dissimilar to how historical (hence also present-day) Hellenismos is being rewritten by christianism. But then, christians did suggest that the same methods ought to be attempted on Vedanta and the Tao after all.





Oh this comment's a hoot:

Rajiv Malhotra is an activist who engages in polemics against what he sees as anti-Hindu scholars. He tends use a broad band and sometimes overstates his case. He is not a scholar who goes to the primary sources but depends on other people's interpretations. So his opinions on fundamental issues like Advaita have to be treated with caution. He is doing valuable work but Malhotra's limitations need to be recognized-- his focus on personalities rather than on fundamentals.

"Malhotra's opinions on fundamental issues like Advaita have to be treated with caution" says Rajarant.

Pot. Kettle. Black.



Am not at all saying that Malhotra is an authority on the subject - and I don't think/don't know that he claims that for himself, besides his being a student of the Dayananda school which is problematic in its own right, as revealed in the comments section of the swarajyamag link. But as I recall, Rajarant flitted about churches and other western venues lecturing to aliens and christians on pseudo-"Vedanta". Meanwhile, here is a traditional Shankaracharya (the Kanchi Paramacharya, now in samadhi), on how the veda-hater Rajarant is the last type of person to speak on the Vedanta along with all aliens/dabblers.

Here some more ignorantly distorted scholarship produced by Rambachan, his advisor Ursual King and the gang:

" Hindu reformers of the 19th and 20th century like Swami Vivekananda, who again spoke of Vedantic monism, but

“did not so much describe what Hinduism is but, influenced by a western model of religion, they prescribed what Hinduism

ought to be” (King, 1989, p. 80). We cannot so easily explain what

is “Hindu” and what is not. Perhaps the most delicate issue of the study of modern Hinduism is the debate over monotheism and polytheism. Hinduism is undoubtedly polytheistic."

Did Rambachan ever defend this non-sense spread by his Advisor Ursula King?

How can he defned when he himself reduces srutis to mere mental knowing hence allowing any type of distortion by anybody?

Reference:

King, U. (1989, June). Some Reflections on Sociological Approaches to the Study of Modern Hinduism. Numen, 36(1), 72-97.

It's a neo-Hindu view to reject the fact that Hindoos (the ancestral Vedic Religion itself) have many Gods.

But it's true that Hindoo heathenism=Vedic religion=Sanatana Dharma is Not a monopolytheism. Hindoo heathenism is whatever Taoism is. And both are similar in some ways to Hellenismos.

In any case, Hindoo heathenism is of course a theism, like Taoism and Hellenismos and Shinto etc etc. Which is why Hindoo heathenism may not be lumped with certain other prominent Indic religions/spin-offs/movements, which all appeared later.
