Raison D'Etre of Bhakti Schools of Vedanta
By Swami Tapasyananda, 48 pages, Paperback.
This volume is the Introductory essay of the book 'Bhakti Schools of Vedanta'. A clear understanding of its contents can be had only against the back-ground of the whole book in which the systems of the great Acaryas of Bhakti Vedanta—Ramanuja, Nimbarka, Vallabha, Madhva, and Caitanya—are dealt with. Why such systems are opposed to Sankaracarya's Advaita, and whether they could be reconciled with Advaita are the questions discussed in this volume.
