Description
This comprehensive academic study examines the profound philosophical concepts of Purusa and Purusottama within the framework of Sankara’s commentary on the Prasthanatrayi, which comprises the Upanishads, the Brahma Sutras, and the Bhagavad Gita. Author Phani Mohanty provides a detailed analysis of how Sankara interprets these fundamental Sanskrit terms and their spiritual significance in Advaita Vedanta philosophy.
The book delves into the distinction between Purusa, representing the individual self or consciousness, and Purusottama, the supreme person or ultimate reality. Through careful textual analysis and philosophical exposition, the work illuminates Sankara’s non-dualistic approach to understanding the relationship between Brahman, the cosmic consciousness, and the individual Atman. This scholarly treatise serves as an invaluable resource for students of Indian philosophy, Vedantic studies, and those seeking to understand classical Hindu metaphysics.
