This page relates ‘Conclusion’ of the study on the Prasthanatrayi Swaminarayan Bhashyam in Light of Swaminarayan Vachanamrut (Vacanamrita). His 18th-century teachings belong to Vedanta philosophy and were compiled as the Vacanamrita, revolving around the five ontological entities of Jiva, Ishvara, Maya, Aksharabrahman, and Parabrahman. Roughly 200 years later, Bhadreshdas composed a commentary (Bhasya) correlating the principles of Vachanamrut.
6. Conclusion
Parabrahman Svāminārāyaṇa revealed the existence of the five eternally distinct ontological entities; 1. jīva 2. īśvara 3. māyā 4. Akṣarabrahman (also Akṣara or Brahman) 5. Parabrahman (or Puruṣottama). Through the revelation of the above essential principle and the identification of these five distinct entities, Svāminārāyaṇa gifted the world with a novel Vedic darśana.[1] Within the Svāminārāyaṇa Bhāṣya these five eternal entities are discussed in detail. The Bhāṣyas and Svāminārāyaṇa Siddhānta Sudhā contain the śāstrīya form of the documented teachings of Svāminārāyaṇa. We analyzed in this chapter that this teaching of tattvapanchak is elaborated upon in great detail by Bhadreśadāsa, the Prasthānatrayī Bhāṣyakāra.
So, in light of Prasthānatrayī Svāminārāyaṇa Bhāṣya, this chapter explored to illuminate the phenomenon of the high substratum of the philosophical tenet; means the five eternal entities
- jīva,
- īśvara,
- māyā,
- Akṣarabrahman (also Akṣara or Brahman),
- Parabrahman (or Puruṣottama), found in the Prasthānatrayī.
As a result of this study of this chapter, the inflection point is marked that the Svāminārāyaṇa Bhāṣyas follow the teachings of the Vacanāmṛta.
