| Darshan: view, vision. Darshan, also darshana and darsan, is Sanskrit for "sight, auspicious viewing, vision". It is seeing, and seeing a glimpse. In Hinduism it is used for beholding a revered and saintly person, a deity or sacred object, and a blessing from viewing an eminent saint. A gesture of respect is often an integral part of darshan of a guru or saintly persons.. People will bend to touch the feet of a great guru. When 'darshan' stands for a "vision" it is used in a literal or the metaphorical sense. (Cf. Feuerstein 1990, s.v. "darshan"). Six philosophical systems of India. In Indian philosophy the term 'darshan' designates the distinctive way in which each of the six orthodox philosophical system looks at things, including its exposition of sacred scriptures and authoritative knowledge (EB, s.v. "darshan"). A glimpse of the Vedanta System. When signifying "viewpoint", 'darshan' is applied to any of the six orthodox systems themselves, and translates as both "viewpoint" and "philosophy". Vedanta darshan, then, is the Vedanta Philosophy, or the Vedanta viewpoint on things. It includes an exposition or take on sacred scriptures through one or more sets of views in Vedanta with its many subschools. It is rooted in the Vedas' Upanishad sections. Vedanta means the end of Vedas, from Veda and anta, end. [Cf. WP, s.v. "Vedanta"] |
