About the Book

Vallabhacarya. the founder of Suddhadvaita Vedanta, is less known outside of India than founders of other Indian philosophies schools. He is among the latest (1473) to found a wel-known Vedanta school. Although devotion (bhakti) is central importance in his system, this by no means implies a lack of philosophies acumen on his part or among his followers. The school produced many works of philosophies analysis, and we may count among Vallabhacarya's followers a master of philosophical analysis, Purusottama, of the eighteenth century. Purusottama is one of the most prolific authors in the history of Indian philosophy. Over seventy of his important works are treated in this volume, and he probably wrote one hundres more.
