Brahman and the World

The Vednta Has Been Rightly Called The Finest Fruit Of Indian Thought And The Upaniads As The Finer Flowers. Vednta Grows Out Of The Teachings Of The Upaniads And Passes Into The Various Systems In The Writings Of akara, Bhskara, Rmnuja, Madhva And Vallabha, The Great Founders Of Advaita, Bhedbheda, Viidvaita, Dvaitdvaita And uddhdvaita, Respectively. However, There Is A Perception Among Orientalists That While The Upaniads Favour The Monistic Doctrine, BdaryaaS Brahmastra Fundamentally Opposes It On Some Of The Most Crucial Points. The Book Thus Delves Deep Into The Philosophies Of Both Bdaryaa And akara In Enunciating The Essential Features Of Brahman And Its Association With The World. It Thus Discusses Topics Such As What Sort Of Cause Brahman Is?, And What Sort Of Material Causality Is To Be Ascribed To It? It Also Addresses The Conflicting Views On The Nature Of Brahman Like That Of Vivarttavda And Of RmnujaS SaguaBrahman. This Book Proposes To Take Up The Question Of Universal Causation To Examine Thoroughly As How Far It Is Right To Regard Brahman As The Universal Cause And How Far Strakra Himself Lent His Support To Each Of The InterConflicting Schools Of Vednta. This Book Should, Therefore, Benefit All Who Are Devoted To The Philosophic Teachings Of Advaita Vednta And Its Preceptors.
