Abstract
We are experiencing an exciting time of revived jeal and enthusiasm where we are preparing to defend, refine and preserve our heritage, physical, cultural and ideological. We understand that with centuries of disturbed history of our civilization in India, destruction of centers of learning and suppressed psyche, the tradition has often labeled and proved untrustworthy. We do understand that due to various vested interests the purity in Vedic interpretations is also lost. To be able to reach any Vedic jhana, the internalization or interpretation presupposes the freedom from any type of intellectual prison. The spillover between the states of mind has been one of the major stumbling block and cause of deteriorations in Vedic interpretations. The standard that can be set to accept the acceptability itself, is whether the interpreter has broken the walls of his intellectual prison before venturing into Vedic interpretation? In what follows we will be touching some pertinent issues which, if overlooked, may cause damage, possibly some time irreparable by the future generations
