Subject: Nyayaparisuddhi -- A must book for all Srivaishnavas

Respectful Swamin, adiyEn is happy to introduce a beautiful book based on research on Swami Desikan's Master piece, nyAyapariSuddhi by a scholar, Dr. Vedavalli Narayanan. This book has been published by Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers Pvt. Lid.,
New Delhi.
adiyEn is gving a brief on the book and the author for the knowledge of all to enable them to get a copy so that they will know the fundamentals of our siddhanta VisishTAdvaita, that is, the epistemology of VisistAdvaita Vedanta.
 
About the Contents:
 
"The soundness of any system of Philosophy depends on the logical foundations over which it is built. As such epistemology plays a crucial role in the course of its development. This book is an attempt at presenting the epistemology of the Visistadvaita Vedanta based on the thirteenth century classical text, NyAyapariSuddhi composed by the eminent poet philosopher Vedanta Desika. It deals with the pramAnas as accepted by the system.
After a brief introduction, the second chapter discusses the concept of knowledge. The following three chapters closely follow the text in their treatment of konowledge, i.e., Percption, Inference and Sabda (scripture). The sixth chapter, titled 'Memory, Compariso, Postulation and Non-Cognition, analyses the desirability of other pramAnas as independent source of knowledge and concludes by showing how these can be subsumed in the three main pramAnas.
 
This book represents an attempt at delving into an area that has not received much attention ealier.
