Guest guest Posted May 24, 2000 Report Share Posted May 24, 2000 Dear Shree Nagaraj Mandya, Dvaita and Visistaadvaita are different. Dvaita does not accept the key point of Visistaadvaita which is Sareera-Atma Bhavam which the body-soul relationship between the universe and Brahman. Dvaita does not explain the Abedha surti properly as it gives importance only to Behda surti. It is again a partial purport of Veda like the Advaita which gives importance only to Abehda Sruti. Dvaita does not recognise that sentient soul can be the body of another sentient entity and says only insentient can be the body which gets contradicted with Visistaadvaita. Further, it stress Bedha in multiple ways and even between the reality (swaroopam) of one Jeeva with another. In Visistaadvaita only the Sajaateya bhedam between jeevas is accepted. It even says that the liberated souls does not get the same bliss and there is difference in class amoung the liberated souls. Dvaita also accepts the supreme self as Lord Hari, the Lord of Godess Shree Lakshmi which is a common point. Dvaita does not accept that the Brahman is also the material cause of universe but accepts that He is only instrumental cause which contradicts the Veda and hence Visistaadvaita. Visistaadvaita Shree Vaishnavam is the only purport of entire Veda. For details please write to me. Thanks & Regards M.S.HARI Ramanuja Dasan. ================================================================== "Nagaraj Mandya" <Nagaraj.Mandya wrote: > ------------ > Attachment: > MIME Type: multipart/alternative > ------------ Dear Bhakthas, I have read and heard a lot about the differences between our Vishishtadvaita and the Advaita philosophy. But I have not heard or read anything about the differences or similarities between Madhavcharya's Dvaita and our Vishishtadvaita. I am just curious to know what these differences or similarities are. Thanks. -- Regards, Nagaraj __________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
