Abstract

The name of Gauḍapāda may not be familiar to an ordinary Indian, but one who is really interested Vedānta will surely know him. Who was Gauḍapāda? Śrī Gauḍapāda is one of the greatest Vedāntins India has seen. Gauḍapāda is the solitary philosopher known to us, who, before Śaṅkara gave a rational explanation of the Advaita Vedānta, which is the objective of the Upaniṣadic teachings; and now what is that teaching? The world is a dream. The aim of Vedānta is to hypnotise the mind which has been hypnotised into the belief that duality really exists. But the knowledge of Truth makes all the difference in his attitude towards the world. He then sees everywhere the non-dual Brahman.
