Hindu Six Pramana (Six Ways of Knowing)

Knowledge

The six-pramāṇa framework distinguishes six means of valid knowledge in Bhāṭṭa Mīmāṃsā and Advaita Vedānta. It helps separate different warrants for claims, including perception, inference, and testimony. Its application to executive communication is a contemporary transfer, not a universal Hindu communication model.
