ABOUT THE BOOK

The Ashyasabhasyavichara is based on an important concept in Advaita Vedanta called Adhyasa. Sankaracharya declared that Brahman is the only reality and that the world is false. But this view is contradicted by our daily experience of the plurality of the world. What them is responsible for the appearance of polarity? The answer is ignorance, nescience or maya, which is already mentioned in the Upanishads but was elaborated by Sankaracharya in a systematic doctrine which became famous as the Adhyasabhasya.
