The reasons it would be important would be the same or very similar
reasons it was important to question teaching intelligent design in
our schools. In other words, it raises the question 'should Hindutva
based initiatives be allowed to teach Vedic Intelligent Design in the
public school system of India?' Of course that's probably already
what's happening at schools like the Maharishi School for the Age of
Enlightenment--it's just that they hide behind buzz-phrases like "The
Science of Creative Intelligence". And of course as anyone who has
heard even a fraction of the 100's of hours of rambling on about
Quantum mechanics, the Rig Veda, Vedic literature, the sequential
unfolding of creation, etc., etc. should be able to immediately sense
the relevance. A Christian Intelligent Design curriculum is doing
basically the same thing, except they're not waxing Quantum on Agnim
ile...but using Bereshith/Genesis instead. You say Rig Veda, I say
Genesis...it's a similar spiel.
