Srihar a is recognised as one of the greatest exponents of what is
generally known as the Sarpkara school of Advaita Vedanta. The
Advaita Vedanta of Sarpkara has been commented upon, explained,
expounded and developed in its various ramifications by several
generations of scholars, commentators and original thinkers for
over a thousand years. Even today it is claimed to be one of the
two traditional schools of Indian Philosophy which have survived
and have modern adherents while most other schools have died of old
age on Indian soil. The only other school that has survived is the
Nyaya-Vaise ika or what is now called the Navya-nyaya. Both Advaita
Vedanta and Navya-nyaya have attracted the attention of modern
scholars and philosophers (of both India and abroad), who are
acquainted with Western philosophy and whose interest in the study
of Indian philosophy has not simply been limited to the history of
Indian thought or Indology. Modern exponents of Advaita Vedanta are
numerous. With a few notable exceptions, however, most modern
authors of Vedanta try to expound and modernise the Advaita system
from either a speculative and personal point of view or from a
superficial viewpoint of Kantian philosophy or Hegelian Absolutism.
Such a method has seldom achieved the sophistication and
respectability that is normally expected in the context of modern
(chiefly western) philosophic activity.
