What influences the development and religious identity of a tradition like Visiadvaita Vedanta? This volume examines the multifaceted formation of Visiadvaita Vedanta and its interactions with other Indian philosophical and religious traditions, including Mimasa, Sakhya, Yoga, PaƱcaratra, and Pasupata. It highlights the tradition's influence on and integration of these schools, addressing theological, epistemological, and metaphysical issues. Key contributions analyze the work of seminal figures in this tradition like Yamuna, Ramanuja, and Vekaanatha (Vedantadesika), focusing on their systematic integration of Purva Mimasa principles, the concept of prapatti (self-surrender), and their engagement with scriptural interpretation. Essays also delve into the role of the goddess, free will, and the complex relationship between God, the Veda, and the cosmic aeons. This collection offers profound insights into the theological and philosophical dynamics of Visiadvaita Vedanta, making it essential for scholars of Indian philosophy, comparative theology, and intellectual history.
