Brahmasutra lectures

[putran M]

Namaskaram,

Are there online lectures or talks in Tamil or English that cover 2.2.18-27 in depth where “Bauddha realists” are refuted? A lot of the argument seems to be about their idea of momentariness. I want to know in what sense we have difference and alignment with their ideas on internal and external (material and mental) world. We also accept in vyavaharika, gross and subtle bodies, viraat/vishwa and hiranyagarbha/taijasa. Do these match the Buddhists? We also talk of causal body and of course of the Atma as the underlying unchanging reality. So, are we saying that the Buddhist model is incomplete without these, leading them to wrong notions of momentariness etc.? (If so what is and why exactly is a causal body needed?)

Dear Putran ji,

Here is a link where the first sutra in that series you have mentioned starts with the explanation of the bhashyam by the renowned scholar Sri Mani Dravid Sastrigal in Tamil:

https://www.centreforbrahmavidya.org/acharyas/dr-mani-dravid-sastri/brahma-sutra-bhashya-0350-sutra-02-02-18.html?filter=dr-mani-dravid-sastri%27s-brahma-sutra--bhashya-classes--adhyaya-2-pada-2&back=/acharyas/sri-shankara-bhagavatpada.html 

from here onwards you can listen by clicking the link numbered next.  This one is no.350 and the next will be 351 and so on.  

warm regards

subbu

Namaskaram Subbu-ji,

Thanks for the link for these sutras. I had earlier seen the page for chp 1 sutras but thought he may have stopped there. Very valuable resource. Will listen to carefully to see if I can get a better grip on these theories and resolve some doubts.
