Whitehead's approach to philosophy and in particular his definition of an entity which entails a process metaphysics. Having deeply studied the ultimate metaphysical positions of the Vedantic School of thought, he has subjected the three well-known systems of Advaita, Visistadvaita and Dvaita to a critical analysis in the light of rational metaphysics based on an adequate analysis of our common and immediate experience in its widest scope. This book is an original attempt which is bound to stimulate new thinking among protagonists of India's Vedanta philosophy.

Book Synopsis A Critical Analysis of Bhima Bhoi and the Mahima Cult by : Nishamani Kar
Download or read book A Critical Analysis of Bhima Bhoi and the Mahima Cult written by Nishamani Kar and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2024-05-15 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Critical Analysis of Bhima Bhoi and the Mahima Cult is a rare compendium of insightful essays by eminent Indian scholars on the Mahima Cult, its genesis, and its growth. The volume focuses on Bhima Bhoi, the poet-philosopher and the prime interlocutor of the Renegade Faith, who started a revolt from below to champion human rights. To critically appreciate the Saint-poet Bhima Bhoi and the Mahima Cult (Dharma of Glory), the history of the 19th-century Indian sociocultural system, especially that of Odisha and its adjoining states, needs to be reconstructed. Since there is no surviving oral and written text authored by the founder of the cult, Mahima Swami, it is only the unlettered genius Bhima Bhoi, who produced innumerable prayers, hymns, and poetic recitals of profound philosophical import, which made him the legend, the poet-archivist, and historiographer of the Mahima Cult. Bhima was simultaneously the poet of the soul and the soil, who used theology and social experience to provide a supportive sub-structure to a transcendent, ecstatic vision. This volume asserts that Mahima Dharma is an autochthonous reform movement and a regional variation of the Indian Bhakti tradition and mystical poetry.
Download or read book Adhyasa written by Dr. N. Usha Devi and published by Motilal Banarsidass. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few will dispute the fact that Sri Sankara, the most exciting philosopher of Advaita Vedanta has no clear-cut answers to the problem of reality. The shifting focus and emphasis on the various philosophical issues cited in the original exegetics of Sri Sankara by the modern thinkers certainly need a consensus on arriving at the meaningful and purposeful understanding of the true nature of reality. The concept of Adhyasa in its three variants has to be asserted from the non-contradictory ground of reality. In this context, there is a need to differentiate between 'mere appearance' and the 'actual appearance' or the unmanifest reality. The present work attempts to establish the valid tones of a sound philosophy of Advaita Vedanta at its best.

This book was released on 2023-07-19 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Philosophy - Philosophy of the Ancient World, , language: English, abstract: This term paper critically examines the concepts of the soul and eschatology as elucidated by Sankara, a renowned philosopher and theologian of ancient India. Grounded in Vedantic philosophy, Sankara's teachings offer profound insights into the nature of the soul, its relationship with ultimate reality (Brahman), and its journey through various stages of existence. Through a meticulous analysis of Sankara's texts, commentaries, and scholarly interpretations, this paper aims to shed light on key aspects such as the nature of the soul, its eternal essence, and its liberation from the cycle of birth and death. The paper begins by providing an overview of Sankara's philosophical framework within Vedanta, emphasizing his Advaita (non-dualistic) perspective. It explores Sankara's understanding of Atman (the individual soul) as an eternal entity that is distinct from the physical body but ultimately identical to Brahman. The concept of Maya (illusion) is also examined in relation to how it affects one's perception of reality and influences eschatological beliefs. Furthermore, this study delves into Sankara's interpretation of eschatology – the study of what happens after death – as outlined in his commentaries on sacred texts like Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita. It investigates his views on karma (action), samsara (cycle of rebirth), moksha (liberation), and their interplay in shaping one's spiritual journey towards self-realization. The critical analysis presented in this paper scrutinizes potential criticisms or challenges to Sankara's teachings on the soul and eschatology. It explores alternative perspectives within Vedanta itself, as well as contrasting viewpoints from other philosophical traditions or religious systems that may challenge or complement his ideas. Ultimately, this research aims to provide a comprehensive and critical understanding of Sankara's teachings on the soul and eschatology, highlighting their significance within the broader context of Indian philosophy and spirituality. By critically evaluating Sankara's ideas, this paper seeks to contribute to ongoing scholarly discourse on these profound metaphysical concepts, inviting further exploration and interpretation.

Book Synopsis Existence and Perception in Medieval Vedānta by : Michael T. Williams
Download or read book Existence and Perception in Medieval Vedānta written by Michael T. Williams and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2024-08-13 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on discussions of metaphysics and epistemology in early modern India found in the works of the South Indian philosopher Vyāsatīrtha (1460-1539). Vyāsatīrtha was pivotal to the ascendancy of the Mādhva tradition to intellectual and political influence in the Vijayanagara Empire. This book is primarily a philosophical reconstruction based on original translations of relevant parts of Vyāsatīrtha's Sanskrit philosophical text, the "Nectar of Logic" (Nyāyāmr̥ta). Vyāsatīrtha wrote the Nyāyāmr̥ta as a vindication of his tradition's theistic world view against the Advaita tradition of Vedānta. In the centuries after it was written, the Nyāyāmr̥ta came to dominate philosophical discussions among Vedānta traditions in India. The Advaitins argued for an anti-realist stance about the empirical world, according to which the world of our experience is simply an illusion that can be dispelled by a deep study of the Upaniṣads. This book reconstructs the parts of the Nyāyāmr̥ta where Vyāsatīrtha argues in favor of the reality of the world against the Advaitins. Philosophically, it focuses on the concept of existence in Vyāsatīrtha's metaphysics, and on his arguments about knowledge and the philosophy of perception.
