Jaideva Singh Livres

Siva Sutras are considered to be a revealed book of Yoga: the supreme identity of the individual self with the Divine. Here an English translation of the Siva Sutras has been provided, together with an abstract of each sutra, which throws a flood of light on the entire system of Saiva Yoga. A glossary of technical terms and index are appended for the convenience of the reader. Four commentaries on Siva Sutras are available at present, the Vimarsini commentary of Ksemaraja in prose, the Siva-sutra-vrtti by some anonymous author in prose, the Siva-sutra-varttikam by Varadaraja in verse. The Siva-Sutra-vrtti is so close to Vimarsini that it appears to be either a preliminary draft or a later abstract of the Vimarsini. There is a strong presumption that the author of the Vrtti was Ksemaraja himself. For more information, please head to www.mlbd.co.in

The Prasthana-traya , or three sources, of Vedanta are the Upanishads , the Brahmasutras and the Bhagavad Gita . These ancient texts have been interpreted by each archarya in the light of his own sectarian views. Because of the undoubtedly great stature of Adi Shankara, Advaita Vedanta has often come to mean the philosophy as propounded by Shankara. In an effort to see what the original source tells us, Dr. Singh interprets the philosophy of Vedanta strictly from a reading of the Upanishads . According to Dr. All have admitted that it is the Upanishads which constitute Vedanta. Vedanto nama Upanishad is the dictum that is respected by all.
