the presence of god cannot be disproved

our philosophy describes brahmam with three main qualities of existence, consciousness and bilss. to disprove brahmam means to disprove existence which is self contradictory for something non existent can be inferred only by an existing object which proves existence and even if existence is construed temporary or momentarily i.e bound to wheels of time then time exists on some permanent existence beyond time. conscious is self luminous but that it gets sublated with death is a weak logic because consciousness has to be disproved before it leaves the body, for one cant show a stone to disprove consciousness no more than one cant show night and justify the non existence of sun. in vedic philosophy the jiva means soul not the body . none can disprove brahmam because brahmam is one defined as that which is not perceived by sense organs, that which cant be deduced by logic and reason , for logic and reason is limited but the brahmam is infinite. even atheists agree that they exist, they can never prove they dont exist and this existence (which seems temporary) has to rest on permant existence(brahmam) for even logic says some TEMPORAL thing cannot come from nothing. the upAnishads say " POORNAM ADAH POORNAM IDAH POORNAT POORNAM UDACHAYATE , POORNASYA POORNAM ADAYAH POORNAM EVAVASHISHYATE" THIS BRAHMAM IS COMPLETE (INFINITE) , BRAHMAM AS UNIVERSE IS ALSO COMPLETE, THOUGH UNIVERSE COMES FROM BRAHMAM THE BRAHMAM STILL REMAINS COMPLETE .
also energy is neither created nor destroyed and this energy is what philosophy calls as god.

THE ADVAITIN SCHOOL OF THOUGHT -a brief summary

THE ADVAITINS ALSO REFERRED TO AS VIVARTHA (MAYA) VADAS, BELIEVE THAT THE JNANA KANDA OF VEDAS ARE SUPERIOR TO KARMA KANDAS. THEY BELIEVE ALL OF UPANISHADS SPEAK ABOUT AN ATTRIBUTELESS(NIR VISHESHA) BRAHMAM, WHICH IS THE SUBJECT, WHICH IS SAT, CHIT AND ANANDAM ITSELF,WHICH IS UNDIFFERENTIATED CONSCIOUSNESS. THERE IS NOTHING APART FROM THIS BRAHMAM, AND THE WORLD AND ALL THE OBJECTS ARE DUE TO UPADHIS THAT GETS SUPERIMPOSED ON THE BRAHMAM WHICH IS CALLED AVIDHYA. THIS IS DUE TO A FORCE CALLED MAYA ( ANIRVACHANIYA) WHICH HAS THREE QUALITIES SATTVA, RAJAS AND TAMAS. THIS MAYA IS UNDEFINIBLE ELEMENT AND ANY DEFINITION RUINS THE CORE OF ADVAITHA. SAMKARA SAYS"BRAHMAM SATYAM JAGAT MITYA" - ONLY BRAHMAM IS TRUE AND ALL THE UNIVERSE WITH DIVERSE OBJECTS INCLUDING ISHVARA OR GODS ARE FALSE. SAMKARA OPINES THAT BRAHMAM DUE TO MAYA GETS AVIDYA AND UNDERGOES MODIFICATION(APPARENT) WHICH IS UNREAL(VIVARTHA). THUS THE ONE UNDIFFERENTIATED NIRVISHESHA BRAHMAM IMAGINES TO BECOME JIVAS AND MATTER . REALITY IS IN REALISING THE IDENTITY WITH BRAHMAM WHICH IS MOKSHA. EVEN ISHWARA IS LOWER TO BRAHMAM AND SOULS GOING TO HEAVENS OR BRAHMALOKHA FINALLY ATTAIN BRAHMAM AFTER DISSOLUTION. ISHVARA IS PARAMATMA BUT PARABRAHMAM WHICH IS DEVOID WHICH IS EXISTENCE ITSELF IS THE ULTIMATE REALITY. ALL SHASTRAS AND VEDAS ONLY HELP IN ATTAINING PARA VIDYA AFTER WHICH NEITHER VEDAS NOR THE WORLD EXISTS.
THE ADVAITINS THUS ESTABLISHED ON FIRM GROUND THE EXISTENCE OF A ATTRIBUTELESS BRAHMAM WHICH CANNOT BE DISPROVED BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING APART FROM IT TO DISPROVE OR VALIDATE.
THIS SCHOOL OF THOUGHT DEMOLISHED BUDDHISTIC AND JAINA PHILOSOPHIES WHICH WERE LOGILICALLY FLAWED. THIS SCHOOL BELIEVES THAT ONLY KNOWLEDGE IS THE ROAD TO SALVATION AND KARMA AND BKHAKTI ONLY LEADS A PERSON ON THE RIGHT PATH BUT ATE NEITHER ESSENTIAL NOR A PREREQUISITE FOR LIBERATION.

HOW TO READ INDIAN PHILOSOPHY

VEDIC PHILOSOPHY IS MORE VOLUMINOUS THAN ALL THE LITERATURE OF OTHER PHILOSOPHIES PUT TOGETHER, MORE ESOTERIC THAN QUANTUM MECHANICS AND AS OLD AS EARTH. CONSIDERING THE SIZE, MANY AN APPREHENSION WOULD TWART THE EFFORTS OF AN AVERAGE INDIVIDUAL FROM ATTEMPTING A COMPHRENSIVE STUDY. APPROPOS THE TOOLS NEEDED TO COMPHREHEND IT, ONE NEEDS A THROUGH KNOWLEDGE ON SANSKRIT TARKA, MIMANSA, NYAYA , VYAKARNAM , VEDAS, UPANISHADS, BRAHMASUTRAS, SMRITIS, ITIHAS AND PURANAS. VEDAS ARE DIVIDED INTO FOUR MAJOR BRANCHES RIG, YAJUR, SAMAN, ATHARVANA. VEDAS ARE CLASSIFIED INTO SAMHITAS, BRAHMANAS, ARANYAKAS AND UPANISHADS. THESE UPANISHADS ARE 108 IN NUMBER THOUGH ONLY ABOUT 15 OF THEM ARE DEEMED IMPORTANT. THESE UPANISHADS WERE CONSIDERED TOO ESOTERIC AND WERE CONDENSED INTO BRAHMASUTRAS BY BADRAYANA OR VEDA VYASA. THESE BRAHMASURTAS ALSO KNOWN AS VEDANTA REQUIRED AN INTERPRETATIVE TRADITION AND WERE COMMENTED BY VARIOUS SCHOLARS LIKE SHAMKARA, RAMANUJA, MADAVA, NIMBARKA, VALLABA, ..... AND SO ON . APART FROM THESE VEDANTA SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT THERE WERE NYAYA, VAISESIKHA, YOGA, SAMKYA, BUDDHA , JAINA..ETC SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT. BUT VEDANTIC SCHOOLS OVER A PERIOD OF TIME BECAME MORE PROMINENT THAN THE REST. ....MORE TO BE CONTINUED.
