Drig-Drishya-Viveka, as the name indicates, is a Vedantic treatise of 46 verses inquiring into the nature of the ‘Seer’ (Drig) and the ‘See’ (Drishya), an inquiry which is of utmost importance for understanding the conclusions of the Vedanta philosophy. This brief treatise compresses much information into its body of few verses. The book contains the original text in Devanagari, its word-by-word meaning in English, a running translation, and exhaustive notes by Swami Nikhilananda. Three names are generally associated with the authorship of Drig-Drishya-Viveka, a prakarana treatise of the Vedanta philosophy, one of them being Sri Sankaracharya. The author of this translation is led to believe that the author of the treatise is Bharati Tirtha, head of the Sringeri Math from 1328 AD to 1380 AD. Published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication house of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, India.

An Inquiry into the Nature of the ‘Seer’ and the ‘Seen’

Drig-Drisya-Viveka

This book, first published in 1968, comprises five articles on the immortality of the soul. According to Hindu tradition this immortality cannot be proved by the scientific method of reasoning – it is based upon scriptural evidence and on the direct experience of enlightened souls. These articles examine the Hindu tradition and provide reasoned support to the scriptures and experiences.

This collection features five essays from noted theologians, philosophers, geneticists, and biologists who discuss the sweeping impact of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species on their respective fields. This volume, edited by Ralph Buchsbaum, professor of biology at the University of Pittsburgh, was published to celebrate the centenary of Darwin's announcement in 1858, along with Alfred Russel Wallace, of their independent discovery of the process of natural selection. Darwin's book was published one year later.
