Overview

This book is an in-depth study on the philosophy of sankara, I.E. Sankaravedanta. This study focuses on a particular text from brahmasutra bhasya of sankara, namely apasudradhikaranam which discusses on the exclusion of sudras from the study of vedas. Exclusion from vedas implies excluding them from the quest for brahman (brahmajijnasa), because for the brahmanic tradition vedas are the only means for the realization of brahman. A cursory reading of this periscope might give an impression that sankara is on the side of exclusion. But a re-reading of apasudradhikaranam in the spirit of a true critique and in the light of his advaitic philosophy, reveals that his darsana is non-exclusive.
