Adhyasa bhasya of Adi Sankara
$300.00TAT4000 – (C.P.H.S – Core Course) This course will unfold the adhyasa bhasya, considered perhaps to be the magnum opus of Adi Sankara. This text finds its place as the introduction to Sankara’s exhaustive commentary of the brahma sutras, known also by different names such as Vyasa sutras, bhiksu sutras or saririka sutras.
Adhyasa means superimposition, which causes the appearance of a thing on a locus other than its own. This is the main source of bondage due to the ignorance of the Self and subsequently taking the non-Self to be the Self. Sankara outlines adroitly the different intricacies of Adhyasa for the very purpose of removing it through knowledge and realize the oneness of the jiva and Brahman.
