Paper Title
The Concept of Jiva, Brahman and Maya in The View of Vallabhacharya
Authors
Kirti Chandrika
Abstract
The philosophy of Sri Vallabhacharya is Suddha Advaita or pure monism, because he does not admit Maya like Sankara, and believes that the whole world of matter and souls is real and is only a subtle form of God. Those who bring Maya for the explanation of the world are not pure Advaitins, because they admit a second to Brahmin. Vallabha holds that Brahman can create the world without any connection with such a principle as Maya, but Sankara traces the universe to Brahmin through the power of Maya. Hence the philosophy of Vallabha is called pure monism or Suddhadvaita. Vallabha says that the entire universe is real and is subtly Brahman. The individual souls and the world are in essence, one with Brahman. Jiva, Kala (time) and Prakriti or Maya are eternal existences, but they have no separate existence apart from Brahman.
Keywords- Vallabhacharya, Suddha Advaita, Brahman, Jiva, Maya.
