[Advaita-l] [advaitin] Re: pratiyogI-jnAna being mandatory for abhAva-jnAna

[Kuntimaddi Sadananda]

Venkatraghavanji - PraNAms.

You made an interesting statement. Tomake a statement related to harn's hare. One should have knowledge that Haresdo not have horns, and for that, one should have the knowledge of what is ahorn too. 

 

Can I just say hare's do not have'gaagaabuubu' without knowing what is that 'gaagaabuubu'? -I am reminded of thestatement –

 

Existence of an objects is establishedby the knowledge its existence'. 

 

Conversely 'Nonexistence of an objectmust also have the knowledge of existence of it elsewhere'. I should know what‘gaagaabuubu’ is before I can deny its non-existence at some other place. 

 

Just my 2c

 

Hari Om!

Sada

 Namaste Sudhanshu ji,The cognition that the hare's horn does not exist does not require the prior knowledge of the hare's horn.

Hari Om,

It is accepted in advaita-vedAnta that prior pratiyogI-jnAna is a
prerequisite for abhAva-jnAna. Unless and until one has x-jnAna, one cannot
have x-abhAva-jnAna.

My question is -- is there any branch of Indian Philosophy, dvaita,
vishishTAdvaita, nyAya etc who dispute this premise and hold that one can
have abhAva-jnAna without pratiyogI-jnAna.

Learned members may please guide.

Regards.
Sudhanshu Shekhar.
