Guest guest Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Dear devotees, Acharya Madhva has quoted the "Brahma SaMhita" (aka BRhat-saMhitA) in atleast in two places -- Brahma Sutra BhaSya #1.1.1 and BhAgavata tAtparya # 11.11.5. Is this the same one that GauDiya VaiSNavas refer to? Yours, Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is another Pancharaatric text by the same name which has a completely different subject matter. I would hazard a guess that this is the one referred to by Madhva. If you want more info, you can ask Gaura Keshava das, an ISKCON devotee now turned Tenkalai Sri Vaishnava who resides in Hawaii. Unfortunately, I don't have his contact information.

In the list of Pancaratra works, there is a work called Brahma-samhita which may be what he is referring to. However that is definitely different from what we refer to. Furthermore, there is no indication the Brhat-samhita refers to either of these. ys Gerald ______________________ Check out AOL.com today. Breaking news, video search, pictures, email and IM.

K That makes sense. The philosophical contents of the GV Brahma-samhita can hardly be harmonized with Madhva´s philosophy. </rind_19> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
