ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the authors discussed the methodology and methods they are using for implementing research framework – the methodology the people have used for several centuries in the Adi-Shaiva tradition. The Shastras construct the idea of knowledge in a different multidimensional paradigm. The pramana system is used to understand and establish the truth in diagnostic observation, during the treatment of a patient, and while monitoring the post-recovery. The deficit of nature and the services the people lack largely are the field’s central theme. The liberating cognition, the people experience when operating from the roots of the pramana system enables the reader to remain steadfast in seeking higher possibilities and be alert while screening for false positives. Pramana system can help the reader decouple wicked problems or hopelessly tangled inter-related issues and provide significant breakthroughs for solutions.
