Book Description

About the Book This volume presents the Advaita philosophy with special reference to the teaching of Bharatitirtha-Vidyaranya. Bharatitirtha is an outstanding name in the history of Advaita after Sankara. The volume of Advaita literature has grown enormously in the post-Sankara period, necessitated by charges and counter-charges. Amidst numerous such works, Vidyaranya develops his Advaita position in a striking way. While dealing with all the quintessential concepts of Advaita philosophy, the book is an attempt to present systematically the philosophy of Advaita as expounded by Bhāratitirtha-Vidyaranya and to assess the contribution of that great scholar-saint to the Vivaraņa school in particular and to Advaita metaphysics in general. It thus encompasses all major topics of Advaita such as its epistemological position including six pramāņas, truth and error, reality as existence and bliss, the concepts of witness-Self, Mäyä, path to perfection and release. The present treatise would thus help students of Indian philosophy in getting to know the main concepts of Advaita doctrine vis-à-vis other philosophical systems of India, making it a must need collection, enabling them widen their horizon of knowledge.

About the Author Dr T.M.P. Mahadevan (1911-83), a prominent Indian philosopher and Advaita scholar, was a prolific writer and an orator. He was professor of philosophy at the University of Madras and had authored a number of books. A great devotee of Ramana Maharshi, he was well dedicated to spread Maharshi's Advaita philosophy. Outlines of Hinduism, The Hymns of Sankara, Sankaracarya, Perceptors of Advaita, The Quintessence of Wisdom, Upanisads: Selection from 108 Upanisads, Thousand Glories of Sri Ramakrishna, Ramana Maharshi and His Philosophy of Existence and Talks with Ramana Maharshi are some of his works.

Preface THIS is a revised edition of my doctoral thesis first published in 1938. The thesis was written during the years 1933-35 under the guidance of the late Professor S.S. Suryanarayana Sastri. After the publication of this work which represents an important phase of the post-Sankara dialectics, I have had occasion to bring out a study of the philosophy of the great pre-Sańkara Advaitin, Acārya Gaudapāda. This work entitled Gaudapada: A Study in Early Advaita was published by the University of Madras in 1952 (second edition, 1954). Just at present a translation of Sureśvara's Sambandha-Värttika, with introduction, notes and extracts from three unpublished commentaries, is in the press, and will be released shortly by the University. Thus my studies in Advaita which started in 1933 have been a source of solace to me; and it is my conviction that they will continue to inspire me. The scope of the present work is indicated in the Preface to the first edition. While revising this work I have made no substantial change. The first edition was sponsored by Messrs Luzac & Company, London. The present one is published by Messrs Ganesh & Company, Madras, who are well known for their books on Indian philosophy and religion. Dr V.A. Devasenapathi and Shri P.K. Sundaram, my colleagues in the Department of Philosophy, University of Madras, have helped me in preparing the revised edition for the press and by reading the proofs.

Introduction In these pages an attempt is made to present the philosophy of Advaita from a study of the Vivarana-Prameya-Samgraha, Pañcadaši and Drg-Drśya-Viveka. Tradition ascribes the authorship of the Vivarana-Prameya-Samgraha to Vidyaranya whom it identifies with Madhava, the son of Mayaņa and the brother of Sayaņa and Bhoganatha. The Pañcadaši is thought to be the work of Vidyaranya and Bharatitirtha. With regard to the authorship of the Drg-Drśya-Viveka, opinion is divided. Brahmananda Bharati, one of the commentators on the work, regards Bharatitirtha as its author. In some manuscripts bearing the commentary of Anandajñāna it is found that Śrī Śańkarācārya is saluted as its author. Niścaladāsa, in his Vrtti-Prabhakara, ascribes the book to Vidyaranya. Vidyāranya seems to have lived in the fourteenth century CE as the family guru of Harihara I and Bukka, the founders of the Vijayanagara kingdom, and appears to have occupied the gaddi of the Śrngeri Matha from c.1377 to 1386 CE. Tradition attaches great importance to Vidyāranya. He is regarded as having been the friend, philosopher and guide of the early rulers of Vijayanagara, and in the field of religion and philosophy he is classed with the greatest of the post-Sankara Advaitins.
