Vedic ScienceVedic science is the science of self (atmavidya). Veda means knowledge and it is understood that there are two kinds of it: lower or outer, and higher or inner. The Vedic system recognizes that one needs traditional modes of reasoning to obtain outer knowledge. But to obtain inner knowledge, special methods are enjoined in the Vedic way.
