Navya-nyāya is the name given to the new school of Nyāya that developed in Navadvipa, which preserved the traditions of both Nyāya and Vaiśeṣika. Its main focus is to define terms in a precise manner and then to formulate or evolve a language as a precise medium of communication. It is keen on rationally explaining human behavior based on cognition, which necessarily refers to relation – an essential concept in this school of thought.
This course introduces the basic concepts of the Navya-nyāya literature and many technical terms which are systematically explained in Navya-Nyāya-Bhāṣā-Pradīpa, a primer of Navya-Nyāya language and methodology. This is followed by a study of Tarka Saṅgraha, which is an entry-level book that is a systematic overview of Nyaya/Vaisheshika in its newer (navya) period.
If you chant one round in Vrindavan it is equal to chanting 100 rounds outside. It is not just one-sided though. You have to remember that if you make a mistake here, it is also 100 times. If you perform a sinful activity here, then there is no solution for that. You must suffer heavily. If you do some mistake here it implicates you heavily. If you do something good here then you will benefit.
