Sri Ishopanishad Lesson 015

[Kiran Sanghani]

#4834

01. A clarification on the following is humbly requested.

1. Chronologically when we see Sripad Visnu Swami appeared even before Sripad Adi Shankaracarya, and refuted Buddhism. Then how it is that quite often we prominently read Sripad Adi Shankaracarya as the acarya who reestablished the authenticity of Vedas after Buddhist defiance of the Vedic Authority?

2.Can you please elaborate teachings of four Vaishnava Sampradayas with specific reference to their commentary on Vedanta Sutra. Please explain in the chronological sequence of appearance of the acaryas as to how they are meant for progressive evolution of theistic revelation.

3.Acintya Bheda Abheda tattva is the ultimate reality presented by Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Why it was not revealed before? We see many exalted Vaishnavas (four sampradayas)even before Lord Gauranga’s appearance in Kaliyuga and many many in other three Yugas. Did they lack understanding of acintya bheda abheda? Did this understanding exist amongst devotees when Lord Sri Krishna was personally present.

4. When Srila Vyas Deva taught vedas, 6 systems of philosophy emerged. We heard often about Vedanta and various vedantic philosophies presented right from Sripad Adi Shankaracarya to four Vaishnav Acaryas and finally by Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. However, why we do not find bonafide practitioners of other 5 theistic schools of thoughts apart from their propounders.

5. Is it appropriate to say that teachings of Lord Chaitanya harmonizes with the 6 theistic schools of thought?
