Consider the following statements:1. 'Bijak' is a composition of the ...
Statement 1: 'Bijak' is a composition of the teachings of Saint Dadu Dayal.
Statement 2: The Philosophy of PushtiMarg was propounded by Madhvacharya.
The correct answer is option 'D' - Neither 1 nor 2.
Explanation:
Statement 1: 'Bijak' is a composition of the teachings of Saint Dadu Dayal.
The statement is incorrect. 'Bijak' is not a composition of the teachings of Saint Dadu Dayal. 'Bijak' is actually a collection of the verses of Sant Kabir. Kabir was a 15th-century Indian mystic poet and saint, known for his spiritual teachings and philosophical verses. His compositions are compiled in the holy book called 'Bijak'. So, statement 1 is incorrect.
Statement 2: The Philosophy of PushtiMarg was propounded by Madhvacharya.
The statement is incorrect. The Philosophy of PushtiMarg was not propounded by Madhvacharya. PushtiMarg, also known as Pushti Bhakti Marg, is a devotional path in Hinduism that focuses on the grace and divine love of Lord Krishna. It was propounded by Vallabhacharya, who was a 16th-century philosopher and theologian. Vallabhacharya emphasized the concept of Pushti (divine grace) and propagated the worship of Lord Krishna as the supreme deity. Madhvacharya, on the other hand, was a 13th-century philosopher and the proponent of the Dvaita (dualism) Vedanta school of thought. His philosophy focused on the distinction between the individual soul and the supreme soul, and he emphasized the importance of devotion, knowledge, and self-surrender to attain liberation. So, statement 2 is also incorrect.
Therefore, neither statement 1 nor statement 2 is correct.
