Description
"Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya’s given name was Vasudeva. He was the son of Maheshvara Visharada, a celebrated resident of Vidyanagara, a village which lies about two and a half miles away from both Navadwip and Champahati. Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya was a student of Pakshadhara Mishra, the head professor of what was at that time India’s leading school of logic (nyaya) in Mithila in Bihar. Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya memorized the entire body of learning available there and then returned to Navadwip to establish his own school for the study of logic. This caused a revolution in the history of this branch of learning, as the importance of Mithila was diminished to the profit of Navadwip, which to this day still has the reputation of being the leading centre of nyaya studies. According to some, the celebrated logician Raghunath Shiromani, author of the work Didhiti, studied under Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya. Whatever the truth of such statements, it is clear that Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya had tremendous learning in both Nyaya and Vedanta. Although he was a grihastha, he took the kshetra-sannyasa, vowing never to set foot outside of Jagannath Puri, and he taught Vedanta to students there. He gave discourses on Shankaracharya’s commentary on the Vedanta to Mahaprabhu Himself until he came to understand its real meaning by His grace."Our initiatives need your support: https://rzp.io/l/brajsundardasSupport our causePaypal: https://paypal.me/bdpayments?country.x=IN&locale.x=en_GB
