This course discusses Nyaya Siddhanta Muktavali, a book written by Visvanatha Panchanan which gives the basic principles of the New Schools Nyaya and Vaisheshika.
Description:
The Nyaya and Vaisheshika schools of thought can hardly be differentiated except for a historical study of their lines of development. Nyaya has completely taken over the conception of a realistic universe as elaborated in the Vaisheshika. Nyaya-Vaisheshika is analytical in its methods. The Nyaya school was founded by the sage Gautama, also called Aksapada literally meaning ‘eye in the leg’. Kanada is the founder of the Vaiseshika school. Kanada lived in the forest and sustained himself by picking up grains (kana). That is how he got his name.
Making mistakes is good because this is how you learn. This is how you develop the muscles of your brain. That is why in sastra there are wrong examples given so you know what is wrong. To know what is pramana you also have to know what is error… Love means to make mistakes together. Then he went on to explain, Sanksrit is the language of love, so we join everything together.
