The Kusumanjali or Hindu Proof of the Existence of a Supreme Being (Revised, newly composed text edition)

The Kusumāñjali” by Udayana Āchārya is a seminal philosophical text that presents a compelling argument for the existence of a Supreme Being within the Hindu tradition. Through a blend of logic and metaphysics, Udayana articulates his views on the nature of divinity and the universe, emphasizing the necessity of an ultimate cause. The text engages with various philosophical schools, addressing counter- arguments and reinforcing the rationale for theism. Udayana’s work is not only an important contribution to Hindu philosophy but also reflects the intellectual debates of his time, influencing subsequent thought in both Hinduism and broader Indian philosophy.
