posted here by Nanda, as well as the additional essay
you just put up.
Your subject heading is misleading in several different
ways.
First, "Vedic Creation Science" is your term, not
Nanda's. You created it with the intention of
conveying a highly misleading guilt-by-association
between MMY's Vedic Science and Christian Creation
Science.
Second, in neither essay does Nanda "debunk" even just
plain Vedic science. Her treatment of it is extremely
superficial and essentially polemical, not analytical.
(As I noted elsewhere, she is said to go into more
detail in part 2 of her book "Prophets Facing Backward,"
but one certainly finds no debunking in the essays.)
Third, although she mentions TM and MMY in passing, she is
clearly not familiar with MMY's Vedic Science (she refers
to it as his "Unified Science," apparently conflating
"Unified Field" and "Vedic Science"). She also refers to
Transcendental Meditation as if it were an integral part of
the Hindutva version of Vedic science, which is of course
not the case at all.
What she's actually debunking has very little to do with
Maharishi's Vedic Science. It's of interest to observers
of the Indian political scene, and to political-type
trends in the philosophy of science, but it has only the
most remote and fuzzy connection to anything TM-ish.
If I had been the one to post her essays here, I would
have noted this up front, so as not to misrepresent her
work or mislead readers into thinking MMY's Vedic Science
had been conclusively debunked by Nanda.
