Brahmalakshana: How to Define the World’s Cause
Brahmalakshana
How to Define the World’s Cause
The second Brahmasutra defines Brahman as “that from whence the world’s origin (as well as sustenance and dissolution) take place”. However, various Acharyas, though still adhering to the Advaita philosophy, have adopted differing views regarding what this causalily actually entails. These two talks will present a few of these views and elaborate on their tenets, where they differ, and where they find unity.
