In "Real Face Of Hinduism" , Dr. Raghavendra Katti,an eminent engineer bends the faculties of a scientific mind to a critical analysis of the 'Badarayana Suthras'... one of the Prasthana Thrayas and shows how exhilarating this spiritual journey could be.
Indian Philosophy has two main schools: The Vedantic absolutism and the Vedantic Theism. Both speak of primal richness of the Indian mind and spirit. Dr. katti refers to Dr. Radhakrishnan lament that "it is not easy to decide what the Upanishads teach. Studants Of Upanishads read them in the light of this or that pre-conceived theory."
A scholar differentiating the non-dualism of Acharya Shankara from the dualism of Acharya Madhwa said: "If the Advaita explains the prevailingly absolutistic standpoint of Upanishadic teaching by postulating only one reality and explaining the rest of the universe as its appearance, the Dvaita (of Madhva) does the same by postulating God as the only supreme entity and explaning the rest as altogether dependent upon him". Dr. Katti's illuminating study suggests that the distinction is more fundamental, rich and subtle. 'Real Face Of Hinduism' amply rewards the reader.
