The paper examines the influence of Advaita Vedānta on Sarvajña –one of the most renowned Vīraśaiva saints. He was a Kannada poet and philosopher of the 16th century. He is famous for his three-lined vacanas or poems called ‘tripadi’.
After giving a brief background of the saint-poet, the paper talks about various Advaitic ideas in compositions of Sarvajña. It deals with concepts like Brahman,īśvara,jagat,Jīvanmukta,māyā,jñāna,Sādhana-Catuṣṭaya, and mokṣa as discussed by Sarvajña with appropriate citations.
These central philosophical themes in the Hindu tradition as enunciated by Sarvajña in his vacanas not only reflect the Upaniṣadic teaching, but also closely follow the philosophy of Ādi Śaṅkarācārya.
The paper makes a significant contribution to understanding the influence of Advaita Vedānta on other religious and spiritual traditions of India in general, and on Vīraśaiva tradition- indictoday.com/research/onene… #Advaita #Spirituality #Hinduism
