About the Book

This book is a collection of twenty-four (24) articles written by the same author dealing with various aspects of Indian Philosophical thoughts. Attempt has been made in these articles to acquaint the reader with different philosophical concepts. The articles included in this book deal with Advaita Vedanta, Buddhism, Vaisnavism, Saktism etc. Some articles are comparative in nature. Three articles dealing with the philosophy of Sankaradeva are included here which are all comparative studies.

Preface

Indian Philosophy is undoubtedly a treasure trove of Indian wisdom that has developed over many centuries of Indian heritage. There are nine well known schools, viz., Sämkhya, Yoga. Nyaya, Vaiśeşika, Mīmāṁsā, Vedānta, Bauddha, Jaina and Cärväka of which the first six are regarded as orthodox and the last three, heterodox. Apart from these nine, other schools like Vaisnavism, Saivism, Saktism etc. also make major contributions to make Indian Philosophy richer. For centuries these systems developed through a long series of sūtra, bhāsya, vārtika, țīkā, prakarana etc. and through their mutual interactions. My interest to explore the myriad treasures of Indian Philosophy was piqued when I was a student of the subject. Now, after teaching the subject for many years, this interest has become a fascination and I have been trying in my humble way, to satisfy my own doubts and to resolve the problems faced by me when teaching these philosophical systems. The articles included in this treatise are the outcome of this endeavour of mine.
