Abstract

The Ātmabodha is a sanskrit classic text written by Śaṅkarācārya containing the teachings on Ātman. The main purpose of the text is how to teach oneself to be able to experience Ātman through the knowledge of it and at the same time through this knowledge oneself can eliminate various forms of upādhi that have been covering up the true nature of the Self. The Ātmabodha is also a meditative text compiled in simple prose to make it easier for spiritual practitioners who read it to be used as a contemplative medium in receiving knowledge about Ātman. This paper aims to comprehensively analyze the essence of the teachings contained in the Ātmabodha. The perspective of Hindu theology will be the point of view in this paper, with the theory of structural semiotics and vedic hermeneutics to assist the analysis. Brahman, Ātma, upādhi, and the pursuit of realization of Brahman (Mokṣa) are central themes in the analysis of the Ātmabodha.

Abstract

This study critically explores Śaṅkarācārya's interpretation of the True Self (Ātma) within the framework of Advaita Vedānta as presented in Tattvabodha. It examines the non-dualistic perspective that affirms the identity of the Self and the Supreme Reality (Brahman), while addressing the epistemological challenges involved in understanding this unity. Tattvabodha is presented as outlining the foundational step toward liberation (mokṣa) and self-realization. The teachings are not merely metaphysical but also provide solutions to dualistic dilemmas, carrying ethical implications that foster empathy and an awareness of universal Oneness. This analysis underscores the enduring relevance of Śaṅkarācārya's insights in contemporary life, highlighting their timeless significance and opening pathways for further interdisciplinary research.

Abstract

This study examines the diffusion, transformation, and localization of Jyotiṣa, the Vedic science of astronomy and astrology, within the cultural and intellectual landscape of the Nusantara, particularly through its development into Wariga. As one of the six Vedāṅga, Jyotiṣa played a central role in regulating ritual time through astronomical and cosmological calculations. Its transmission to Southeast Asia, primarily through the Śaka calendrical system, occurred alongside broader networks of trade, religious exchange, and cultural interaction between ancient India and the Nusantara. Using a historical-textual and epigraphic approach, this study analyzes Vedic and Wariga texts alongside Javanese and Balinese inscriptions to trace the diffusion and adaptation of Jyotiṣa concepts within the local Pawukon framework. The findings demonstrate that Wariga was not a passive adoption of Vedic knowledge, but a creative reconstruction that integrated the luni-solar Jyotiṣa system with indigenous temporal cycles such as wuku and wewāran. This synthesis produced a hybrid epistemology in which time functions not only as an astronomical measure, but also as an ethical and symbolic construct embedded in the cosmological worldview of Hindu communities in the Nusantara, particularly in Java and Bali. In conclusion, Wariga represents a localized reformulation of Vedic temporal knowledge that sustained both cosmic order and the cultural continuity of Hindu civilization in the Nusantara.

Abstract

Śaṅkarācārya’s commentary on the definition of yoga in Kaṭha Upaniṣad II.3.10-11 has received limited scholarly attention within the framework of Advaita Vedānta, despite the mantra’s explicit definition of yoga as sthirām indriyadhāraṇām, the steady restraint of the senses. This study employs a qualitative library research method, drawing primary data from Swami Gambhirananda’s English translation of the Śaṅkarabhāṣya and applying K. Satchidananda Murty’s Vedic hermeneutics, which treats Vedic texts as contextual and open to a plurality of interpretations within their respective philosophical frameworks. The analysis shows that Śaṅkarācārya constructs yoga as viyoga, a severance of the senses, mind, and intellect (buddhi) from external objects rooted in ignorance (avidyā), so that the etymological sense of “union” emerges as a consequence of this severance rather than as its literal meaning. The resulting stillness of the senses functions as the ground for the disclosure of self-knowledge (ātma-jñāna), provided that vigilance (apramāda) is sustained, since the state of yoga is described as inherently fluctuating. Yoga therefore occupies the position of sādhana, a preparatory discipline, while final liberation continues to rest on the realization of self-knowledge itself. These findings clarify the epistemological function assigned to yoga within Śaṅkarācārya’s Advaita Vedānta and contribute to the broader academic discourse on the diverse meanings of yoga in Hindu literature.
