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 presented there is coming from a reliable source. Dharmawiki accepts and references published works, original research is not within the scope of Dharmawiki. Content presented on this site refers to concepts that have been previously published and discussed in scholarly circles rather than the personal beliefs or experiences which have not been validated. Here we discuss "verifiability" in two contexts. One is with respect to the textual references or citations given to original sources on the site and the other is consideration of Vedas as the primary pramanas for the mankind.

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.

Verifiability (परीक्षणम्) in Bharatiya tattva shastras has been referred to extensively in the discussions about [[Pramana (प्रमाणम्)|Pramanas]]. Since the time of systematization of various darshana shastras, we have come to accept  the three kinds of Pramanas viz., 'Prathyaksha (Perception) Pramana' which is physical verifiability, Anumana (Inference) Pramana which is indirect reference and Shabda Pramana, which is a Vedic text. Thus Vedas are our Pramanas for all Sanatana Dharma concepts. The systematization of Pramanas (described in the Nyaya shastra) shows that our ancients were not blindly accepting any point of view, but they were discussed and debated extensively among scholars of those days, from which the whole shastra itself evolved.

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 a dogma. However, in Sanatana Dharma the vedic texts are a form of Pratyaksha Pramana, of higher sober physical verifiability. The followers of this ancient tradition do not consider the Vedas as "written texts" but as knowledge (jnana) "revealed" by rshis  who visualized and experienced it in higher conscious state of existence; thus Vedas are [[Apaurusheya (अपौरुषेयम्)|Apaurusheya]].

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.

Verifiability (परीक्षणम्)

Verifiability (Samskrit : परीक्षणम्) means that anyone studying an article can personally check that the information presented there is coming from a reliable source. Dharmawiki accepts and references published works, original research is not within the scope of Dharmawiki. Content presented on this site refers to concepts that have been previously published and discussed in scholarly circles rather than the personal beliefs or experiences which have not been validated. Here we discuss "verifiability" in two contexts. One is with respect to the textual references or citations given to original sources on the site and the other is consideration of Vedas as the primary pramanas for the mankind.

Verifiability (परीक्षणम्) in Bharatiya tattva shastras has been referred to extensively in the discussions about Pramanas. Since the time of systematization of various darshana shastras, we have come to accept the three kinds of Pramanas viz., 'Prathyaksha (Perception) Pramana' which is physical verifiability, Anumana (Inference) Pramana which is indirect reference and Shabda Pramana, which is a Vedic text. Thus Vedas are our Pramanas for all Sanatana Dharma concepts. The systematization of Pramanas (described in the Nyaya shastra) shows that our ancients were not blindly accepting any point of view, but they were discussed and debated extensively among scholars of those days, from which the whole shastra itself evolved.

Now, from the point of view of the Western philosophers Shabda pramana is discounted, if it is textual kind of teaching then it becomes a dogma. However, in Sanatana Dharma the vedic texts are a form of Pratyaksha Pramana, of higher sober physical verifiability. The followers of this ancient tradition do not consider the Vedas as "written texts" but as knowledge (jnana) "revealed" by rshis who visualized and experienced it in higher conscious state of existence; thus Vedas are Apaurusheya.

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.[1] In Kathopanishad, Yama instructs Nachiketa that even the words are limited when it comes to experience.
