addendum to Notes on Brahmasuutra

[Guest guest]

I intended to add questions at the end of each sections for those who are

serious in studying the suutra-s.

 

1. After studying the lesson, my advice is fist to close the text.

 

2. Now try to answer the questions of the section

 

Here are the questions related to the lesson 1:

 

1. Why Brahamsuutra is called Nyaayaprastaanam?

 

2. What is a darshhaNa? What are the six topics all the darshhaNa-s

address? What are the darshaNa's discussed in the text? What is the

difference between 'aastika darshhaNa-s and naastika darshaNa-s?

 

3. Who is the author of Brahmasuutra?

 

4. How is Brahmasuutra outlined?

 

5. What are the definitions of suutra, bhaashya and adhikaraNa.

 

6. What are the five aspects that each adhikaraNa should have?

 

Now go back and study the text again to make sure your answers are right.

Repeat this until you are able to answer the questions without looking at

the text.

 

This is the exercise to check yourself how much you have grasped from the

lesson.

 

Hari Om!
