Philosophy is the systematic study of ideas and issues, a reasoned pursuit of fundamental truths, a quest for a comprehensive understanding of the world, a study of principles of conduct, and much more. It contains different fields of study like Metaphysics, Ethics, Logic, Epistemology etc. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, through his direct followers, the Six Goswamis, established a unique school of philosophy, which they called Acintya bhedābheda. They compiled texts in which they explained different fields of philosophy and theology. Chaitanya Siddhanta Parishad attempts to present this philosophy through the elaborate writings of different scholars of the tradition.

Acintya Bhedābheda

The relationship of the World, Living entities and God has always been a mystery to the philosophers around the world. Indian Philosophers have tried to explain this in the terms of difference and non-difference based on the statements of Upanishads etc but have failed to give any satisfactory answers to the seekers of the truth. Srila Jiva Goswami uniquely approaches this problem and, after exploring all possible solutions to this problem, comes to the conclusion that it is not possible to explain this relationship through the available language of logic instead this relationship transcends all the boundaries of logic and can only be known through the self revealed texts like Srimad Bhagvatam etc.

The greatest minds of the world have always been curious to know about “How this world was created” but failed to reach any conclusion that can be established through valid knowledge. Caitanya Vaishnaism provides a framework for the creation of the world which solves all the problems of philosophy and is also based on valid knowledge. Caitanya Vaishnavsim establishes that it is Love, which is the most important aspect of the absolute reality and underlying principle in its philosophy.

Acintya Khyātivāda 

In Indian philosophy, Khyātivāda refers to theories of error or theories of illusion/misperception. The word “Khyāti” means appearance or perception, and these theories attempt to explain how and why errors in perception and understanding occur. Caitanya Vaishnavism gives a unique perspective on this problem and answers seemingly unanswerable puzzles.
