praNAms Sri Putran prabhuji
Hare Krishna
As I understood his comments, he makes the important traditional point that the Brahma tattva cannot be realized/known without recourse to Veda pramana and through the type of methods employed by Buddhists.
Ø Some would argue this point like this : those who can use veda pramANa is / should be dvija (twice born / those who have upanayana saMskAra) only brAhmaNa, kshatriya and Vaishya can use this veda pramANa and talk / approach brahman as per veda pramANa. But for the stree and shUdra-s (non-dvija-s) they don’t have the eligibility to study veda, for them smruti and purAna which are in accordance with shruti are the valid means to get the ‘same’ result. So veda and veda permitted other paurusheya texts would be valid to do brahma jignAsa and they would get the realization from these texts / means. Now, the question is if the bible or any religious text in their own native language talking about ‘veda brahman’ ( ofcourse without directly mentioning it brahman or Atman but as some or the other tattva/power) and those who have taken this tattva enquiry for realization, would not get the realization which is as good as vedAntins ‘mOksha’?? if not and veda / shAstra is the only recourse then mOksha enshrined in it is restricted to ONLY dvija-s. Since bhagavatpAda said ALL are eligible to get mOksha and also said shAstra eva pramANaM, shAstra and shAstra tattva could be in any form or any language and the eligible jignAsu without resorting to traditional exposure towards shAstra ( veda and Vedanta in devanAgari) in his / her own language texts / guru upadesha may get the realization which is on par with Upanishad brahma realization. And some arguments even clarifies further even though those who do not have the direct exposure in their current janma but realized brahman ( like ramaNa, rishi vAmadeva etc.) they must have completed this shAstra adhyayana in their pUrva (previous) janma/s. So that traditional verdict that shAstra is the only pramANa is maintained.
Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
bhaskar
