Sastra Darpana by Sri Amalananda-By-Vid.MM.Brahmarishi Dr.Manidravid Sastri

Class-18 Sastra Darpana by Sri Amalananda-By-Vid.MM.Brahmarishi Dr.Manidravid Sastri he Śāstra Darpaṇa (शास्त्रदर्पणम्), or "Mirror of the Scripture," authored by Śrī Amalananda, is a significant philosophical treatise in the tradition of Advaita Vedānta. It should not be confused with the more well-known Sahitya Darpana on poetics. 🧐 Focus and Author Author: Śrī Amalananda, also known as Vyāsāśrama, was a prominent Advaita philosopher who lived in the 13th-14th century CE. He hailed from the Nashik-Tryambak region. Primary Work: Amalananda is best known for his massive and influential commentary, the Vedānta-kalpataru on Vācaspati Miśra's Bhāmati, which is itself a commentary on Adi Śaṅkara's Brahma Sūtra Bhāṣya. This work established him as a key figure in the Bhāmati School of Advaita. The Śāstra Darpaṇa: The Śāstra Darpaṇa is a stand-alone work that reflects Amalananda's deep understanding of the same subject matter—the Advaita interpretation of the Brahma Sūtras. 📜 Content and Style Core Subject: The text is a straightforward presentation of the established tenets of Advaita Vedānta, particularly those reflected in the Brahma Sūtras. Methodology: Unlike detailed commentaries (bhāṣya) or sub-commentaries (tīkā), the Śāstra Darpaṇa adopts a novel approach, presenting the settled position (siddhānta) of each philosophical argument (adhikaraṇa) found in the Brahma Sūtras in a discourse style (similar to a series of learned lectures). Purpose: Amalananda wrote this independent treatise, reportedly because he desired to compose a distinct work on the Brahma Sūtras beyond his monumental Kalpataru commentary. The text faithfully reflects the non-dualistic principles of the Advaita school. Key Feature: The author often includes Sanskrit verses (Ślokas) that summarize the main points of the opponent's view (Pūrvapakṣa) and the final conclusion (Siddhānta) of each Adhikaraṇa. These verses serve as mnemonic aids for the reader. The Śāstra Darpaṇa is highly valued for its clarity and masterly exposition of the complex philosophical arguments central to the understanding of the nature of Brahman (the Absolute Reality) and the path to liberation (mokṣa) according to Śaṅkara's Advaita system.
