| | IMC India - Western Indology versus the Indic Tradition: |
 | | The Indic tradition is aiming at spiritualizing western civilization, which means accepting its validity particularly in the realm of science, but integrating that into a deeper spiritual view which accepts the spiritual sciences of Yoga and Vedanta as well. | | | Indic civilization is not necessarily hostile to western civilization but it does proceed by different values and according to a different perception of humanity, nature and the universe, apart which we cannot make sense of it. | | | The Indic tradition sees itself as closer to true world civilization, which is also cosmic civilization, and is one of spirituality and Self-realization, not of mere mastery of the external world. |

| |
| | The need for a new Indic school of thought |
| | The Indic tradition arose from the rishi tradition of spiritual endeavour, characteristic of the Vedic-Sarasvati culture and related cultures, reflected in the continuity of Vedic literature from the Vedas to the Mahabharata, Buddhist and Jain literature and the Puranas, which all reflect the same principles, peoples and dynasties of kings. | | | This requires a revival or renaissance in the Indic tradition and its great spiritual systems of Yoga, Vedanta, Buddhism, and Jainism, and also in its political, artistic and scientific traditions. | | | In the Indic school of thought, the whole idea of an Aryan invasion/migration is a sign of ignorance. |

| | Indo-Iranian -> Indic Group on Encyclopedia.com 2002 |
| | The oldest written form of the Indic group is Vedic (or Vedic Sanskrit), in which the Veda were composed. | | | While the vocabulary of many Indic languages derives primarily from Sanskrit, Muslim influence over the centuries has added loan words from Arabic and Persian to such Indic tongues as Urdu and Sindhi. | | | Most Indic languages are written in some modified form of the Devanagari alphabet. |

| | `Indic Religions in an Age of Science' - Fall 2004 Series By Metanexus Senior Fellow V.V. Raman |
| | Many secularist Indian intellectuals and scientists regard some of the traditional belief systems like astrology and vastushastra as unscientific, and reject the claims that the insights of modern science are derived from ancient Indian scriptures. | | | The vast majority of Hindus practice their religion in its multifaceted modes, while little about it is taught formally in schools and universities. | | | In the remaining three lectures of the series, which will take place in the winter/spring of 2005, Dr. Raman will continue his exploration of Indic religions with talks on the nature of consciousness, levels of reality, and theories of knowledge and future visions. |
