Terms and Concepts in VedantaIntroduction
Statements expounding particular terms and concepts in Vedanta are found
scattered at different places in the Upanishads and the
commentaries thereon. For
example, if we take the concept of mukti
(liberation), the answers to
questions such as, what is mukti
and what are the means to it,
are found in various places. It was felt that if statements relating to
each topic were collected and put together, that would be of
considerable help in getting a total view about that topic. This is the
task undertaken in this work. This is not by any means an exhaustive
collection of all the statements relating to any particular topic. The
attempt has been to gather together as much as is necessary to get a
clear idea about each topic. Another purpose that this topic-wise
grouping would serve is to make it easy to trace the exact place where a
particular point has been elucidated. Back to contents
