Book Description

A Study of the Upanişads, Bhagavadgita, Brahmasutra and Sankara's Commentaries on them

About the Book This book is a pioneering study to give complete information on the aspects of social philosophy as found in the basic scriptures of Vedanta. More than one thousand quotations and references from source books are noted. There are enlightening discussions on human personality, class relations, human rights, ethics, education, social order, women, etc., which will enrich the general reader. University teachers and scholars of Philosophy, Religion and Sociology will find much herein "the Social thinking found in certain classical texts of Advaita Vedānta, is well done. Chapters I to V demonstrate a comprehensive, scholarly and critical grasp of the salient references in the Upanisads, Bhaga-vadgitä, Brahmasūtras, etc..... as a descriptive essay detailing the content of Vedanta sources specifically as it reflects social norms and realities, it is a creditable effort. Clearly Victor is aware of and sensitive to vital and critical social issues such as class, sexism, racism, elitism, etc., and quite properly sees those as issues which a social philosopher should critically address."

About the Author Born on November 22, 1953, Dr. P. George Victor was a student of Philosophy in B. A and M. A.. The present work which earned him a Ph. D is a fundamental research under the guidance of Padma-bhushan Prof. K. Satchidananda Murty. He writes on public issues with philosophic touch in newspapers. Since 1981 he has been teaching in Andhra University, Waltair. He has attended some International Conferences in India and U.S.A.

Preface It is generally acknowledged that Vedanta has been the dominant philosophy of life of the majority of Indian intellectuals in modern times. It has not only inspired the religious life of many, but has influenced the social and political thinking and action of almost all the Hindu personalities who have shaped the recent Indian history)

This book expounds the Social Philosophy found in the scriptural triad the Upanisads, Bhagavadgitä and Brahma sutra, and the commentaries of Sankara on them, and also the works of his disciples-Sureśvara and Padmapāda.

An effort has been made to catalogue the social reali-ties, social duties and social ideals with reference to the scope of Social Philosophy. The individual and his relations with family and society, and the social practices are brought together. Certain critical issues such as classicism, sexism, racismand elitism are clearly expounded being neutral to the controversies. More then one thou-sand references have been noted from the original texts.

Introduction Vedanta is the leading and dominating theology of Vedic religion and tradition in India. The term 'Vedānta' means' the end of the Veda (Veda+anta) and refers to the Upanisads, the concluding portions of the Vedas. Further the most important source for the ideals and doctrines of Vedanta and which tries to systematise the teachings of the Upanisads is the Brahmasutra, popularly known as Vedāntasūtra. In addition to these texts the exponents of different schools have considered the Bhagavadgitä as the essential source of the knowledge of Vedanta. Thus the system of Vedanta was developed from the scriptural triad, called the 'prasthanatrayi' covering the Śruti, Sutra and Smrti literature of Vedic religion and tradition.

There are, of course, many schools of Vedanta. One of the most important of these is that of Advaita, so brilliantly and forcefully expounded by Sankara. Before him, during his time and after him there have been other types of Advaita also; but since his time what he formulated has been the dominant Advaita school.
