This video discussion between the eminent scholar Sri Andrew Holecek and
the eminent monk Sri Swami Sarvapriyananda (RKM Order) provides a
critically analytical synthesis cutting across multiple philosophical
domains
1. केवलाद्वैतवेदान्त उत्तरमीमांसदर्शन हिन्दुसनातनधर्मस्य
(kevalādvaitavedānta uttaramīmāṃsa darśana hindusanātanadharmasya  -
absolute non-dualistic final wisdom posterior inquiry philosophy of Hindu
eternal spirituality)
2. परमाद्वैत सिद्धान्तत्रिकाशैवदर्शनहिन्दुसनातनधर्मस्य (paramādvaita
siddhāntatrikāśaivadarśana hindusanātanadharmasya – supreme nondualistic
final accomplishment philosophy of Hindu enternal spirituality)
3. माध्यमकमहायानदर्शन बौद्धसनातनधर्मस्य (mādhyamakamahāyānadarśana
bauddhasanātanadharmasya - middleway-great vehicle philosophy of Buddhist
eternal spirituality)
4. विज्ञानमात्रमहायानदर्शन बौद्धसनातनधर्मस्य (vijñānamātramahāyānadarśana
bauddhasanātanadharmasya – consciousness-only great-vehicle philosophy of
Buddhist eternal spirituality)
5. Modern western psychology (philosophy)
6. Modern science
Although both the participants belonged to specific philosophical schools,
and naturally they will have their personal favoritism and affinity, there
was a fairly balanced open-minded discussion and critical appreciation to
alternate schools.  True signs of matured spirituality. My hats off and
humble pranams.
IMHO, is an ideal candidate for ज्ञानमार्ग जिज्ञासा (jñānamārga jijñāsā –
wisdom path inquiry) involving श्रवण (śravaṇa - listening), मनन (manana –
reflection) & निदिध्यासन (nididhyāsana - absorption) for an holistic
research
