− | You say parikshanam. It means viewing something constantly to ascertain for yourself, not verify, to ascertain for yourself. Whether what you see or hear is true or not. The word verifiability is another form of veracity, it comes from Latin roots. Now in Indian philosophy since the time of systematization of vedanta, we have come to accept 'prathyaksha,' that is physical verifiability and then inference anumana and then shabda pramana, that is a Vedic text.
| + | Verifiability (Samskrit : परीक्षणम्) means that anyone studying an article can personally check that the information present there comes from a reliable source.

− | Now from the point of view of the Western philosophers sabda pramana is discounted, if it is textual kind of teaching then it becomes dogma, you can't question what is use of dogma what is the use of anumana? I will simply end this. The vedic text are also a form of Pratyaksha, but of higher sober physical verifiability. Music for example music is not verifiable in terms of your physical ears. if it is good music if it appeals to you you delight on the bliss that you get out of it, you simply not very verifiable. Your experience has to be tallied with experience only. Not textbook of logic and this and that. and therefore prathyaksha if the speciality of into thought sanatan Dharma is that we are ideal to the basic Vedic text is it infallible, unquestionable they can only be understood they can only be rationalized they can only be tallied with other ones, but you cannot throw away, you cannot throw them away. Show that is the distinction of sanatan Dharma, the vedic text. | + | Now this aspect of Verifiability (परीक्षणम्) in Bharatiya tattvas shastras has been referred to extensively in discussions about [[Pramana (प्रमाणम्)|Pramanas]]. Since the time of systematization of various darshana shastras we have come to accept 'Prathyaksha (Perception)' which is physical verifiability and then Anumana (Inference) followed by Shabda Pramana, which is a Vedic text. This shows our ancients were not blindly accepting any point of view, but they were discussed and debated extensively among scholars of those days, from which evolved the whole shastra itself. |

− | So denying the Vedas is supposed to be one of the seven great sins, sapta patakas, Veda dushanam. if you don't agree you have to prove that some other experience is superior.
| + | Now from the point of view of the Western philosophers Shabda pramana is discounted, if it is textual kind of teaching then it becomes dogma. However, in Sanatana Dharma the vedic texts are also a form of Pratyaksha pramana, but of higher sober physical verifiability. |

− | Experience to experience not word for word, and therefore logic is subsidiary to experience. Shabda pramana any other kind of pramana if it is experience, experience is non questionable. Even you have, even whitehead Western philosophers says, to deny experience there is nothing nothing nothing. Experience is data. philosophy is starts withthe data, assembly of data even physical science scholars may say, your physical science, where do you verify an experiment in the laboratory you assemble the data put a hypothesis put it in experiment and that you have it if you question the data nothing will come out.
| + | This is explained taking music for example. Music is not verifiable in terms of your physical ears. Good music is delightful and the bliss that one gets out of it cannot be verified. It is an experience. Experience has to be tallied with experience only, not a textbook of logic or any other action. |

− | Off you play test match in some state, you can't question why there should be a player, there will be a player. If you want to enjoy, if you don't want don't enjoy don't go to the green room and examine whether this boy acted in this way and that way, data is not to be question, arrangement can be questioned.
