STUDIES IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF MADHUSUDANA SARASWATI #by Dr Sanjukta Gupta# ~Sanskrit Pustak Bhandar~ [1966]


DOWNLOAD (ENG):



English annotation by Vishnudut1926: The book is more for the collection, I am not fond of such kind of Granthas: too much dry, rigid philosophy, definitely not for Bhaktas. 

A part of the book has very good comparisons of Shree Vaishnava-Siddhanta with Adwaita, for example, from page 45 the excellent synopsis of "Saptadha anupapatti" by OM VishnuPad Ramanuja Maha Acharya is made ("Saptadha anupapatti" is 7 blunders of Adwaita-Vedanta, which OM VishnuPad Ramanuja Maha Acharya had designated in "Shree Bhashya").   

Anyway, I read in 1 hour in speed read mode, but the last chapter will be of much interest for Bhaktas, as it dwells on Bhakti-Siddhanta of OM VishnuPad Madhusudana Saraswati (his Bhakti-Siddhanta maybe designated something as "Bhakti-Rasa-Adwaita-Siddhanta", as it borrows heavily both from the epistemology of Adwaita-Vedanta as well as Shree Rasika-Vaishnava Sampradays).
