Why should the teachings of Vedanta be trusted?
Because they are not the philosophy of an individual nor are they the contentions of a particular religion
or a philosophical school of thought. Although they appeared in India, there is nothing Indian about
them. They are revealed truth. Revealed truth by definition is not authored by people nor does it
belong to any particular religion. It comes directly from the Self. During revelation the individual's
prejudices and personal views are suspended because he or she is 'ecstatic'...outside the small self.
Even then the words that are used to convey the sense of the truth must be verified by many others
over a long time before they can be accepted.
Revealed truth usually needs additional revelation because the people who hear it tend to interpret it
according to their own tastes. The notion that there is a my truth' is and a your truth does not wash in
the Vedanta world. The Self is one and the knowledge of it can only be one. Is it possible to simply read
these texts and come away enlightened? It may be possible but it is unlikely because truth, like
anything else, is only as good as ones understanding of it. Therefore the teaching tradition of Vedanta
has evolved. It requires a mature qualified mind seeking to know and a teacher established in nonduality who can skillfully wield the means of knowledge. It is hoped that if your study of Tattva Bodha
awakens a desire to realize the Self you will approach someone established in non-duality and request
teaching.

Apratyaksha Sastra is only speculative, being provable only by theorizing and discussions. Jyotisham
is a Pratyaksha Shastra as Surya and Chandra are its witness.
Why Sun and Moon are called visual proof for above? It is a fact that a Tithi (a lunar day) is
calculated from the relative distance between Chandra and Surya, as viewed on the celestial equator.
Anyone can see Sun and Moon from earth and their relative distance (in degrees) can be measured
by Spherical Trigonometry.
Moon is given at par importance with Lagnam (Ascendant). Moons strength plays important role in
giving strength to all planets.
