@Tezz I've book "Ishadi nau Upanishad" which contains nine Upanishads with Adi Shankaracharya Bhashya. Svetasvatar is included in it. How I can provide it is by capturing images, combining to pdf and sending you. It is Sanskrit+Hindi
@Pandya can you provide me a photo of commentary of Shwetashwatara 1.4 which describes Brahman Chakra. This verse is the most difficult verse ever which I've seen. I want to know how Shankara intreprets it...(you may post that image in this chatroom):
4 The sages saw the wheel of Brahman, which has one felly, a triple tire, sixteen end−parts, fifty spokes with twenty counter−spokes and six sets of eight; whose one rope is manifold; which moves on three different roads; and whose illusion arises from two causes.
@sakthi "advaita and visistadvaita look the same to me as there is no difference as Visistadvaita is jivatma's inner self parmatma and advaita as jivatma has paramatma as its soul (INNER SELF) what is the difference" No, Visistadvaita is the one where the Jivatma has Paramatma as its soul or inner self. Whereas in Advaita, Jivatma and Paramatma are literally the same. One is not the soul of the other. There is just one Atma called Paramatma.
@Tezz Note that the Shwetashwatara Upanishad Bhashya is not considered to be an authentic work of Adi Shankaracharya.
@Tezz @KeshavSrinivasan Chaganati Koteswara rao says "urdhva mulam adhah Shaayi".. which means The one who is present up, down and everywhere is called Shaayi. He says veda has this? Which veda has this?
@TheDestroyer No, Advaita makes a distinction between Jiva and Jivatma. Jiva is different from Paramatma. Jivatma is the same as Paramatma. Jiva is Jivatma + Avidya.
@TheDestroyer Or to put it another way, Jiva = Jivatma + Causal Body
@TheDestroyer The Sthula Sharira and Sukshma Sharira are formed out of both Karma and Avidya, whereas the Karana Sharira is formed out of Avidya alone.
@TheDestroyer It is the Karana Sharira alone that provides the Jiva its identity. In waking stake the person has all three Shariras. In dreams the person wanders around with their Sukshma Sharira. Whereas in deep sleep the person has no Karmas and only has Avidya, i.e. it only has its Karana Sharira.
@TheDestroyer The Sthula Sharira and the Sukshma Sharira are not part of the Jiva, they are things that the Jiva inhabits.
@TheDestroyer By the way, all of this is different in Visistadvaita. We only believe in 4 Koshas and 2 Shariras, whereas Advaitins believe in 5 Koshas and 3 Shariras.
@TheDestroyer In Visistadvaita there is no such thing as the Anandamaya Kosha. Instead the term Anandamaya used in the Taittiriya Upanishad refers to the supreme Brahman, not to a Kosha. And we don't believe in a Karana Sharira.
@TheDestroyer Also, Visistadvaita makes no distinction between Jiva and Jivatma.
@KeshavSrinivasan @TheDestroyer - wht is the difference between Tantra and kriyayoga , even in kriyayoga the Tantra part is there , so are these two terms somewhat same of completely different.
i was finding answer abt. yoga in bhagvatam , there i came across kriyayoga told by shree krishna to uddhava , in that found pooja vidhi and other things like Naivedya , aachamana etc. so are these things called tantra or they are vidhi ?
