The learned speaker says at the beginning:  All three schools of Vedanta agree upon this.  The Naiyayika does not; he has the view:  It is absence of light.


Ø     I don’t think dravyatvaM of darkness unanimously accepted within the Advaita school.  By the way just curious to know what exactly the difference between dravyatvaM of the darkness in the room and dravyatvaM of the bench or table in the room or dark room??  Is this dravyatvaM of darkness is an epistemological concept or an ontological entity??  I am sorry not clear yet to attribute material existence to the prakAsha abhAva.

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
