Hardcover. Zustand: New. This is an annotated English translation of Vijnanabhiksu s commentaries on the first five Brahmasutra (BS) of Badarayana called the Vijnanamrtabhasya (VijBh). This is a pioneering work as no translation of the VijBh has been done so far. Bhiksu is perhaps the only known Vedanta scholar who has argued for Brahman along with his prakrti-sakti being the cause of the world. He calls his Advaita philosophy as Avibhaga-Advaita and sets himself against Sankara s Advaita which argues for Brahman alone being the material and efficient cause of the world. Bhiksu is also an unique Advaita scholar as he interprets Vedanta using Samkhya/Yoga principles. One of the reasons for choosing to comment on only the first five sutras was because the VijBh is a huge work and also because Bhiksu s Avibhaga-Advaita can easily be understood from his commentaries on these first five sutras of the BS. Even though the real reason for Bhiksu s commentary on the fifth sutra (BS I.1.5) should be clear to anyone familiar with Vedanta s objection to prakrti being the cause of the world, it needed to be seen as to how Bhiksu, as a committed Samkhya-Yoga-Vedantacarya, defends prakrti s role in being the cause. Just as writing commentaries on the first four sutras of Sankara s BSBh done by some eminent scholars present the main features of Sankara s Advaita, the commentaries on the first five sutras of the BS by Bhiksu could adequately present Bhiksu s Avibhaga-Advaita Vedanta.…
