Advaita & Mithya: Vijaya Yatra Website Update

September 16, 2012

The Jagadguru’s seventh Bhashanam of the Chaturmasya Series has been added to the Vijaya Yatra website. In this Bhashanam, the Jagadguru deals with the objections that arise when the Jiva is stated as being non-different from Brahman (the Absolute Reality), and when everything except Brahman is stated as Mithya. How can the experiencer and experienced be non-different to each other? If everything is Mithya, are not the Vedas Mithya too? How then can true knowledge be attained by Vedic statements? The Jagadguru addresses these questions and gives an understanding of Advaita and Mithya.
