MOST SPURIOUS METAPHYSICS OF ANCIENT INDIA !
• The Vedanta and its works are a compilation of quasi-religious opinions of the variety of the most absurd and bizarre speculative fantasies on cosmology, ontology and monastic life.
• In the view of some critics like Lala Hardayal and VR Narla, in their obsessive quest for Absolute truth, these treatises with their absurd conceits, quaint fancies and chaotic speculations represent some of the most spurious metaphysics of ancient India.
• While BR Ambedkar was more generous in giving the Upanishads some benefit of doubt, about its pockets of abstracted reformism, he yet ultimately concluded that these works were a “totally inconsequential piece of speculation with no beneficial impact on the Hindu society”.
• All or most of the doctrines of Vedanta are resting on the foundations of the ‘castles in the air’ type of flimsy scriptural and religious apologetic without any care or concern for its implications on the real world.
• In its current form, Vedanta is inspiring an orthodox Hindu revivalist creed riding on the bandwagon of cultish movements that are leading multitudes of Hindus into a wild-goose chase of Vedantic fantasies.
