Outstanding debate by a teenager with stalwarts

Thanks to Professor for sharing this video.

An absolutely brilliant debate – Vakyartha sadas – (in sanskrit) with a young Madwa scholar talking about Dvaitha in front of 4 giants of Advaitha school. The young vidwan’s arguments are based on Nyayamrutham by Sri Vyasaraya. This incredibly nurturing culture by opposing schools of philosophy represents the essence of our Dharma. The giant, Bramhasri Mani Dravid, is sitting second from the left on the dias.

The beauty of any sadas is not to prove who is right or wrong. This fearless young scholar is taking the inputs from the great scholars and incorporating in his reply to complete his view point. Apart from the young scholar’s erudition, what is great to watch is how the senior scholar’s take him seriously and also encourage him. This is our tradition!

After seeing this video, we all feel like toddlers!

May Mahaperiyava bless this child with everything!

Our namaskaram to this scholar and other giants on the stage!

    Not necesarily viruddha bhava : satya-asatya : if “svalpArthe ~n” is siddha, a-satya means svalpa-satya, svalpatva condition of satya, not viruddha of satya. Then?

    Namaskar
