Light on the truth For the first time, this 18th Century manuscript has now been published and this edition includes the Sanskrit text followed by a lucid English translation and extensive notes.
In this original treatise, Srila Vidyabhusana summarizes 15 different philosophical systems: Buddhism, Jainism, Lokayata, Madhyamika, Vaisesika, Nyaya, Samkhya, Yoga, Aikabhavika Mimamsa, Prabhakara Mimamsa, Bhatta Mimamsa, Bhaskara’s Bhedabheda, Pasupata, Hairanyagarbha and Advaita, and after pointing out the shortcomings and contradictions of each of these schools, he establishes the supremacy of Vaisnava philosophy.
This is an essential book for those who wish to acquire a deeper understanding of Lord Caitanya’s philosophy in comparison with other schools of thought.
Most of the time what people call love is just attachment, because they are doing it for their own pleasure. You can only see this when you become free from attachment. When there is attachment, our perception becomes disturbed and we don’t see things clearly. That is why they say love is blind – you can’t see because of your attachment.
