This is a post about dvAdashadarshanakAnanapa~nchAnana jayama~NgalAchArya svAmI kAshikAnanda giri ji on this forum.

I have spent some moments with this great soul. He was a great scholar, without comparison.
He continued to write till last days. He past due to brain hemorrhage caused by falling.
He had written on many branches of philosophy, mostly in Sanskrit.
He has written :
vArttika on IshopaniShad,
advaitaparshuddhiH to refute shatadUshanI, which is precise and in prose (anantakRishNa shAstrI has a bulky volume to refute the same work.) It has some new thoughts also regarding naiShThika brahmachArI-s seen in sannyAsa sampradAya, etc.
a prakaraNa for navyanyAya....name not in mind,
a prakaraNa for Vedanta......forgot name,
Commentary on bhaktisUtra,
Commentary on yogasUtravivaraNa of sha~NkarAchArya,
Commentary on pa~nchadashI (1 chapter published, refutes achyutarAmoDaka-s commentary at places),
sannyAsavidhivichAraH,
mahiShAsuramarddinistotravyAkhyA,
pata~njalikRta-charaNashR~NgarahitashivastotravyAkhyA,
rudrAShTAdhyAyavyAkhyA,
jAgadIshI vyAkhyAna,
gAdAdharI vyAkhyAna,
advaitasiddhivyAkhyA,
laghuchandrikAvyAkhyA,
khaNDanavyAkhyA,
chitsukhivyAkhyA,
mImAMsAsutravyAkhyA,
two commentaries of subhagodayastutiH of gauDapAda,
Etc.

He didn't have money, so many of books were not published. When his Ashrama building collapsed due to rain, many books were destroyed. Some were stolen by people. Even then his room was full with new manuscripts of his works always. I saw mImAMsA sUtra vyAkhyAna last time.
In his last days he was working on brahmasUtram.

He has written many books in Hindi too, which are mostly translations according to commentaries.

I had a few talks with him regarding specific type of daNDa which are seen nowadays in sannyAsa sampradAya.

He was upAsaka of tripurasundarI in mUkAmbikA form. Actually, there was a rumor that he was not so bright student in early days and due to strength gained by upAsanA he became great scholar.

He was related to nira~njanI akhADA (not ranjani akhADA as the news link mentions).

It is true that he answered advaitasiddhiH paper in prose while he was in kAshI.

I've posted a few pictures of this great saint on http://www.facebook.com/lalitaalaalitah.blog

The fate of books written by him is now uncertain. Pray that those are published some day out at least saved by successor.

Namaste.

Thanks for sharing images and videos of a great soul of our times, that is departed.

I had a few talks with him regarding specific type of daNDa which are seen nowadays in sannyAsa sampradAya.

With regard to tridanda, they are said to be vAgdaNDa, kAyadaNDa and manodaNDa etc. Are there any such ekadaNDa/dvidaNDa kind of concepts in yati sampradAya?

 

It is true that he answered advaitasiddhiH paper in prose while he was in kAshI.

As per the given link, I think you wanted to say 'it was written in verse style.'

 

The fate of books written by him is now uncertain. Pray that those are published some day out at least saved by successor.

I echo the same concern.

Thanks and regards,

Prasad

With regard to

​​

tridanda, they are said to be

​​

vAgdaNDa, kAyadaNDa and manodaNDa etc. Are there any such

​​

ekadaNDa/

​​

dvidaNDa kind of concepts in yati sampradAya?

​This is Known ​ekadaNDa is advaita order among Sanyasis and  ​tridanda is more prominent among the vaishnavas

According to the Vedic injunctions, only a brāhmaṇa may be offered sannyāsa. The Śaṅkara-sampradāya (ekadaṇḍa-sannyāsa-sampradāya) awards the sannyāsa order only to  brāhmaṇas, or born brāhmaṇas, but in the Vaiṣṇava system even one not born in a brāhmaṇa family may be made a brāhmaṇa according to the direction of the Hari-bhakti-vilāsa (tathā dīkṣā-vidhānena dvijatvaṁ jāyate nṛṇām).

daNDa denaotes renunciation hence ​ vAgdaNDa, kAyadaNDa and manodaNDa etc. can be explained

I have not heard about  dvidaNDa

 

Thanks and regards,

Prasad

​Yes, ekadaNDa represent GYAnam as tridaNDa represents vAk-kAya-manaH-saMyama.

Please read poetry at the place of prose everywhere.​

 

​Sorry for erring.​

The Śaṅkara-sampradāya (ekadaṇḍa-sannyāsa-sampradāya) awards the sannyāsa order only to  brāhmaṇas, or born brāhmaṇas

 

------There are many advaita sannyāsis who were non-Brahmins in their pūrva āśrama. 

 

nāga sadhus/sannyāsis of advaita affiliation do not all come from  brāhmaṇas.

 

This is not about ēkadanḍa or tridanḍa issue. This is only about whether there were /are non-brāhmaṇa advaita sannyāsis or not.

namste,

Is there any information regarding the Brahmadanda? Vashishtha had one and it could even thwart the Brahmashtra of Vishwamitra.

Regards,

[श्रीमल्ललितालालितः]

I think that we had some discussion clearing that:

there is nothing called advaita-sannyAsa, (a search of advaita sannyasi or sannyAsa will be enough)

there is adhikAra of traivarNika according to shurti, smR^iti, etc., supported by sureshvarAchArya, etc.

So, please don't drag this thread to any such discussion.

Please, start some other thread to discuss these things separately.

​Ekadanda Sanyasis in Shankara lineages are Brahmanas in purvashrama.  Naga Sadhus don't carry any danda. So  Ekadandins normally support advaita.  I don't know of any Advaita Dvaita or Visitat advaita Sansyasis as an order of Sanyasa probably Prof Paturi can shed light on this and clearly explain if possible whats ekadanda, Tridanda and if there exists dvidanda order among sansyasis Thanks

[Nagaraj Paturi]

Suggestion to start a new thread on the issue of sannyasa, advaita, visishtadvaita, ekadandi, tridandi etc. is fair enough. Let us allow this thread to remain dedicated for the Brahmaleena of the mahaneeya swamiji.

 

I am starting the new thread as suggested.

Namaste,

Naga sanyashis do not carry any danda as from Akbar's time they have to carry the weapon "Trishula", supposedly to save the Hindu pilgrims during the Kumbha-mela, from being slaughtered by the anti-Hindu forces and that too was started  probably at the suggestion of the emperor himself. Kindky correct me if I am wrong.

I  feel that the Danda of a Brahmaleen can be called Brahmadanda and the sage Vashishtha carried his Brahmdanda with him and he has supposedly told about the might of the Brahmadanda.

His work, in metric form on twelve darshanas titled द्वादशदर्शनसङ्ग्रहः gives a good idea of each of the darshanas.  He has rendered each darshana in verses in Sanskrit and given Hindi meanings too.  The book, published in 1988 and available in Anandavan Ashram, Swami Vivekanand Road, Kandivali (pashchim) Mumbai 400067 and Sri Dakshinamurti Maṭha, Mishrapokhra, Varanasi 221010, priced Rs.80 (paperback) and Rs.98 (hard bound) then, also contains a long introduction in Hindi in the form of essays on each darshana dealt with in the book.  Quite a useful book.
