Brahmas tras [BS] is a corpus of Ved nta. Although an interpretation of the central teachings of Upanisads, BS has itself been a subject of numerous hermeneutical forays. It somehow suited the Orientalist and Hindu scholars since the early 19th century to promote one interpretation of this seminal text, viz., from the monistic view of Advaita. Radically different trajectories of Hindu cultural selfunderstanding were by and large ignored: one re-interpretative attempt comes from the Vaisn ava followers of r Caintanya.Sri Rampada Chattopadhyay in this volume attempts such a novel reading. His basic thesis is: the Bh gavata Pur n a or r mad Bh gav ta, a key scripture in Vaisn ava theology, was the best available commentary on the original BS. In other words, as Professor Matilal explains in his Preface, in order to understand the theistic and devotional nature of religious philosophy that underlies Ved nta, one has to depend upon the theological teachings of the Bh gavata.Chattopadhyay draws on these teachings to correlate with issues pondered upon in the Upanisads, and their subsequent influence on Ved nta, the Brahmas tras in particular. He follows the traditional pattern of commenting on each section and chapter according to which the s tras have been devided. While copiously elucidating on the Vaisn ava approach, he engages in criticism of amkara and other Ved nta commentators on BS. The book is of immense importance to scholars and students in this late phase of Indian thought. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
