Research on Sastras in Contemporary Times: Methodological Strategies for Indigenous Research
By : Dharm P S Bhawuk
Page No: 509-522
Abstract
In this paper, nine strategies for doing research on œÀstras that have allowed the author to develop constructs like lajjÀ, œraddhÀ, prem, lokasaÉgraha, and adhyÀtma, and also develop models that explain the Indian concept of self, the process of anger generation, the process model of peace, and so forth have been presented. It is hoped that people interested in pursuing a program of research in Indian Psychology will find these methodological strategies useful.
