Guest guest Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Is wonder whether there are philosophical schools of Vedanta developed by Shaivas or Shaktas. As far as I know all philosophical traditions other than Advaita were developed by Vaishnavas: Visisthadvaita by Ramanujy Dvaita-Advaita by Nimbarka Dvaita by Madhva Suddha-Advaita by Vallabha Achintya-Bheda Bheda by Chaitanya Or am I wrong and one of them was a Shaiva? I think not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Saiva Siddhanta according to many of its adherents considers itself as the true Vedaanta. Likewise with the Trika/Pratibhijnyaa system, commonly known as Kashmir Shaivism. I do not think that Bhaaskara, the bheda bhedavaadin par excellence, was a Vaishnavite. Vijnaana Bhikshu who too commented on the Brahma Sutras was a Saamkya philosopher and not a Vaishnavite. > Is wonder whether there are philosophical schools of Vedanta developed by Shaivas or Shaktas. > As far as I know all philosophical traditions other than Advaita were developed by Vaishnavas: > > Visisthadvaita by Ramanujy > Dvaita-Advaita by Nimbarka > Dvaita by Madhva > Suddha-Advaita by Vallabha > Achintya-Bheda Bheda by Chaitanya > > Or am I wrong and one of them was a Shaiva? > I think not. > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
