  • Aesthetic Philosophy of Abhina V Agupt A
    AESTHETIC PHILOSOPHY OF ABHINA V AGUPT A Dr. Kailash Pati Mishra Department o f Philosophy & Religion Bañaras Hindu University Varanasi-5 2006 Kala Prakashan Varanasi All Rights Reserved By the Author First Edition 2006 ISBN: 81-87566-91-1 Price : Rs. 400.00 Published by Kala Prakashan B. 33/33-A, New Saket Colony, B.H.U., Varanasi-221005 Composing by M/s. Sarita Computers, D. 56/48-A, Aurangabad, Varanasi. To my teacher Prof. Kamalakar Mishra Preface It can not be said categorically that Abhinavagupta propounded his aesthetic theories to support or to prove his Tantric philosophy but it can be said definitely that he expounded his aesthetic philoso­ phy in light of his Tantric philosophy. Tantrism is non-dualistic as it holds the existence of one Reality, the Consciousness. This one Reality, the consciousness, is manifesting itself in the various forms of knower and known. According to Tantrism the whole world of manifestation is manifesting out of itself (consciousness) and is mainfesting in itself. The whole process of creation and dissolution occurs within the nature of consciousness. In the same way he has propounded Rasadvaita Darsana, the Non-dualistic Philosophy of Aesthetics. The Rasa, the aesthetic experience, lies in the conscious­ ness, is experienced by the consciousness and in a way it itself is experiencing state of consciousness: As in Tantric metaphysics, one Tattva, Siva, manifests itself in the forms of other tattvas, so the one Rasa, the Santa rasa, assumes the forms of other rasas and finally dissolves in itself. Tantrism is Absolute idealism in its world-view and epistemology.

  • Tairthika Philosophy in the Maha̅bha̅rata
    RESEARCH PAPER Philosophy Volume : 5 | Issue : 6 | June 2015 | ISSN - 2249-555X Tairthika Philosophy in the Maha̅bha̅rata KEYWORDS Samim Ahmed Assistant Professor, Belur Ramakrishna Mission Vidyamandira (An Autonomus PG College) Belur Math, Howarh ABSTRACT The Maha̅bha̅rata is the second epic of India. From A̅ca̅ryaA̅nandavardhana to Rabindranath Tagore there is consensus that though the main story of the Maha̅bha̅rata is the tale of war, yet warfare is not its ulti- mate end or goal. The philosophical war between Na̅stika and A̅stika is important here. The former is Purvapaks̟a or opponent and the latter is Siddha̅nti̅ or deponent. There are many opponents in the epic. Some are Ca̅rva̅ka, Jaina, Bauddha and Vaiśes̟ika. The Siddha̅nti̅ has mentioned their views and refuted. This battle actually is a theoretical battle which was also held in the Kuruks̟etra. One of such atheist school is Tairthika. We shall see their view. In the AśvamedhaparvaParva, we come across one school which is Tairthika. Tairthika holds that all is beyond doubt. According to Ni̅lakant̟ha, this school believes that nothing can be doubted. A̅ca̅ryaSukhamayaBhat̟t̟a̅ca̅rya comments that the Tairthikas admit that all things are free from doubt and everything has different existence. Max Muller takes Tairthikas as ‘great teachers’ who say that nothing can be doubted. In the dictionaries and according to other texts, the term ‘Tairthika’ has many meanings. From all these descriptions we can conclude that this school is atheist and one of the pu̅rvapaks̟as of the Maha̅bha̅rata. Some think that Kapila and Kan̟a̅da are Tairthika or heretic. Surendranath Dasgupta holds this position. This is atheist because they are heretic ac- cording to the epic.
