	Vedic Physics: Scientific Origin of Hinduism by Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Ph.D. - Reviewed by Allen Gaborro - Eclectica ...
		Roy however, resuscitates the scientific value of the Vedas by arguing that the ancient Vedic sages discovered the existence of a Vedic physics and cosmology centuries before the advent of modern science.
		Roy may think that he has ultimately transcended competing interpretations of the Vedas, but this does not give him the objective right to disregard or de-emphasize previous interpretations, or shun another reader's venture at undermining his understanding of the scriptures even if an equally rational and in-depth case for interpretive license is made.
		Roy's smug confidence in his interpretations has turned Vedic Physics into a condition where the readers are first shown the narrative of their interpretive rejection, a narrative that is used to marginalize or extinguish any differing perspectives they may have.

		Raja Ram Mohan Roy counterpetitioned that Sati was inhuman and unjust.
		Roy's main reason for not supporting Bentinck's decision, however, was probably his conviction that it was society's attitude toward widows that needed to be changed.
		Amidst the kudos which is showered on Raja Rammohun Roy for his role in the advocacy of the abolition of sati, one crucial fact is often overlooked: that when Lord William Bentinck sought his advice on the matter of the British prohibiting the practice of sati, he advised Lord William Bentink against such a step.

		Roy is aware of the argument by skeptics that the attempts at finding scientific meanings in scriptures is that they are made only after the discovery of those scientific facts.
		The work of Roy is important in that he tries to figure out the hidden meanings in the Rig Veda by drawing careful analogies and comparisons, and telling us when he is not sure of a particular meaning of a particular word or hymn.
		All of Roy's claims are buttressed by relevant hymns, and he also provides interesting asides on how the myths and fables of other cultures and religions were borrowed from the latter Brahmanas and thus were misreadings and wrong or partial interpretations of Vedic knowledge.
