This book sets Gaudapada in Historical context and develops a commentary that makes that meaning and significance of the Alatasanti text clear. In the Alatasanti Gaudapada uses Vedantic Philosophy. It places him at the watershed between Mahayana Buddhism and Vedanta.
Among the important issues discussed are Gaudapada’s radical doctrine of non production that is the view that despite appearances nothing is ever actually brought into existence his notion of the illusory nature of sensory experience his conviction that reality is not two his theory of knowledge and the touchless yaga he hoped would dispel our illusions about ourselves and our world. His logic and the content of his arguments are examined critically.
This is a very useful and valuable work. The topic is a central one in Indian philosophy yet not many books and none in recent times have ventured to explore it. The author does a persuasive job especially given the controversial nature of the topic. The book’s chief merit is its clear and readable style. The format clearly elucidates the Ajativada of Gaudapada through critical and historical introduction summaries translations and commentary. This is a work which will not only draw general readers who are interested in Indian philosophy but also serious scholars who are concerned about textual interpretations. The translation of the text is very well done both in terms of readability and authenticity Deen K. Chatterjee University of Utah.
