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.
Krishna is the source of the Self. Naturally, the part has attraction to the source. Just like the water comes from the ocean, and once it reaches the ocean, it finds peace. We are part of Krishna. And we will find peace only when we are united with Him. Uniting can only happen through love. Otherwise, we are a lost child wandering here and there.
