Ritual Critique

Ritual Critique is a hermeneutic approach within Upanishadic Studies that critically examines Vedic ritual practices by interrogating their symbolic, philosophical, and soteriological assumptions in order to foreground the Upanishads’ prioritization of knowledge (jñāna) over sacrificial action (karma).
