regarding the name abhinava gupta

[Guest guest]

Dear members,

 

According to Shri Veluri Sivarama Sastry, what exactly was the name of Shri

Abhinava Gupta is a mystery. Shri Veluri Sastry, like Dravida Rajeshwara

Sastrigal, mastered Kevala Advaita siddhanta of Sankara School as well as Siva

Advaita of Kashmir Trika School.

 

Given below is the opinion of this great scholar of Andhra, Shri Veluri

Sivarama Sastry, who did extensive research on Kashmir Trika Siddhanta and also

was an ashtAvadhAni in Telugu. A scholar of Alankara, Natya Sastra apart from

traditional Sankara Vedanta. Also wrote a commentary on “Dehastha Devata

Chakra Stotra†which was a wonderful composition by Acharya Abhinava Gupta.

 

Please note that this was an opinion ie., could be regarding the naming of

Acharya Abhinava.

 

Abhinava Gupta in his work “Tantraloka says that “abhinavasya kritisseyam

yasyoditAgurubhirAkhyA†ie., this christening of “Abhinava†was done by my

gurunatha.

 

Now, observing the Abhinava’s great scholarship in Vyakarana Sastra, the

then scholars coined the word “abhinava gopAnasE guptapAdah†thereby

Abhinava is identified with the Great Sanskrit Grammarian Patanjali. He was

also called Abhinava Patanjali. Now, Patanjali was an amsa of Adi-sesha who had

“gupta-pAdaâ€.

 

So, he concludes that “gupta-pAda†is the adjective to Acharya Abhinava to

indicate his scholarship in Vyakarana and recognizing him to be on par with

Patanjali. And hence the name “Abhinava Guptaâ€. This was the view of Shri

Veluri Sivarama Sastry.

 

Some of the works of Acharya Abhinava Gupta are : Anuttara Trimshika

Laghuvritti, Paratrimshika Vritti, Anuttarashtika, Anubhava Nivedana, Ishwara

Pratyabhijna, Kathamukha Tilaka, Kavya Kautuka Vivarana, Krama Stotra or Keli,

Ghatakarpara Kulakavritti, Tattvadhva Prakasa, Tantra Vatadhanika, Tantra Sara,

Tantraloka, Tantrocchayam, Devi Stotra Vivarana, Dehastha Devata Chakra Stotra,

Dhwanyalochana, Natya Sastra Vivritti, Padartha Pravesha Nirnaya Tika,

Paramartha Charcha, Paramartha Dvadasika, Paramartha Sara, Purva Panchika,

Prakarana Vivarana, Prakirnaka Vivarana, Prabodha Panchadasika, Bhagavat Gita

Sangraha, Bhedavada Vidarana, Bhairava Stotra, Mahopadesa Vimshatika, Malini

Vijaya Vartika, Laghvi Prakriya, Sivadrishtyalochana, Siva-sakti Avinabhava

Stotra, Bimba Pratibimba Vada, Natyalochana, Anuttara Sataka etc.

The Parents Names of YOGINIBHUH Abhinava Gupta were Vimala and

Narasimha gupta.

 

YOGINIBHUH is one whose father is a " Siddha " and Mother is " Yogini "

one born in the union of Siddha and Yogini is known as YOGINBHUH.

 

 

He belonged to Advaita School the most pure and elevated form of

Kashmir Shaivism.

 

As Jagadguru Adi Shankara is for shakteya . He was for Kashmir

Shaivism Complete in himself.
