Advaita Siddhi (#अद्वैतसिद्धि)
The "Vada" Grantha

Third Granth of बृहत्- प्रस्थानत्रयी. This book has a very interesting story.

The refutation of Nyaya Philosophy led to the weakening of Dualism. Madhvacharya ji(anandTirtha) was born and established his philosophy.

An acharya of Madhvacharya samprdaya "Vyasatirtha"{1447-1539} collected all the books that were written in the Khandan of Advaita Vedanta as शतदूषणी of Vedant desikar , वादावली of Jayatirta and based on these books he wrote independent "न्यायामृत refuting advaita philosophy.

He took the books of Advaitins from शांकरभाष्य to तत्वशुद्धि and all 3 siddhi granthas and refuted their theories in this legendary book "न्यायामृत" This Refutation was not ordinary it was an excellent purvapaksha,an encyclopaedia of all the logics and claims. It created waves.

Madhusudana Saraswati(1540-1647) was a very excellent paramhansa and acharya of नव्य-न्याय and Vedanta. He took the work of Refuting न्यायमृत. He wrote "अद्वैतसिद्धि"

Madhusudhan saraswati took every single line of the न्यायामृत and refuted it . The surprising thing is "Nowhere in this grantha he has mentioned the name of न्यायामृत" he has just used "यत्तु" "केचित्तु" . The language of this Grantha is sweet the words like "सखा" are used.

But...The debate didn't stopped here. According to the legends disciples of Vyasatirtha mainly "रामाचार्य" and "ananada" pretended to be Advaitins and went to study Advaita Siddhi from Madhusudhana so they can refute it. Madhusudhan saraswati taught them without hesitation.

Ramacharya wrote "न्यायामृततरंगिणी" in refutation to "अद्वैतसिद्धि". The story adds "when Ramacharya was finishing the तरंगिणी Madhusudhan saraswati said:- I already knew it why you are here, but as a guru I promise that my disciples will not raise questions on your book"

But years later after the demise of madhusudana his disciple "बलभद्र भट्टाचार्य" wrote "सिद्धिव्याख्या" and refuted the तरंगिणी.

Brahmananda Saraswati wrote "गुरु चंद्रिका" and "लघु चंद्रिका" as refutations to न्यायामृततरंगिणी

Still the debate didn't end. A book called "न्यायामृतसौगन्ध्य" was written by Vanmali Mishra in the refutation of चंद्रिका. Then "विट्ठलेश उपाध्याय" wrote a book "विट्ठलेशी" and did the refutation of this book. The debate lost its intensity after this.

There are other books as "न्यायामृत कण्टकोद्धार" "तरंगिणी सौरभ" "मध्वचंद्रिका खण्डन" "सौगन्ध्यविमर्श" " न्यायभास्करखण्डन" "ब्रह्मानन्दीयभावप्रकाश" from both the sides. The debates about Nyayamrita and advaita siddhi are still going from both the sides.

This Vakyartha was about the meaning of just one vakya "तत्त्वमसि" it lasted for more than 5 hours no one deviated from topic a bit.

Similarly many Discussions are there on the different topics of both the granthas.

I will upload the introduction to all three granthas on my website.
End.

😂😂 Try debating such with an arya samajis. They will shift the topics from advaita to murtipuja to puranas in just 5 minutes.
