Bhakty-abhasa - externally resembles bhakti but does not have the true characteristics of bhakti. There are two types of bhakty-abhasa. Chaya-bhakty-abhasa is attained by association with suddha-bhaktas during kirtana, recitation of Srimad-Bhagavatam, or other devotional performances.

Pratibimba-bhakty-abhasa is the semblance of bhakti that occurs in the hearts of those who adopt the angas of bhakti with a desire for bhukti (material enjoyment) and mukti (liberation). The stage of chaya-bhakty-abhasa is the result of great fortune,

Pratibimba-bhakti-abhasa - a reflective semblance of bhakti. This refers to those who adopt the practices of bhakti with a desire for material enjoyment and especially liberation. Because these people have no faith in Krsna and no desire to please Him, their semblance of bhakti is of the nature of an image which is disconnected from its object, and is therefore compared to a reflection.

Chaya-bhakty-abhasa - a shadow-like semblance of bhakti. This refers to the activities of neophytes or ignorant people which resemble bhakti, but which do not have the actual characteristics of suddha-bhakti. Because these people engage in activities of bhakti only when associating with real bhaktas, this semblance of bhakti is connected with true bhakti, but it is transient in nature and is therefore compared to a shadow.

emanation: To "flow out from." Abhasa. To come forth from a source, to be emitted or issued from. A monistic doctrine of creation whereby God issues forth manifestation like rays from the sun or sparks from a fire.

See: abhasa.

Vyabhicari-bhavabhasa - refers to vyabhicari-bhavas that are observed in improper or inappropriate persons or things. There are two types: antagonistic (pratikulya) and improper (anaucitya). Antagonistic vyabhicari-bhavas are emotions that arise in people who are hostile to Sri Krsna, and who have no rati. There are two types of improper abhasa: non-existence (asatyatva) and incapability (ayogyatva). When a bhakta experiences some emotion toward Krsna and projects that feeling upon non-moving living entities or animals as if they were experiencing that emotion, the abhasa is said to exhibit non-existence in the case of the nonmoving entities and incapability in the case of animals. However, these distinctions do not apply to Krsna’s eternal associates in Vraja, who serve Him in species such as trees, plants, and animals.

Nyaya - the philosophy dealing with a logical analysis of reality, also known as nyaya-darsana. This system of philosophy was founded by Maharsi Gautama (see Gautama in the Glossary of Names).

The nyaya-darsana accepts sixteen principles:

1) pramana (evidence; the means to obtain factual knowledge) ,

2) prameya (that which is to be ascertained by real knowledge) ,

3) samsaya (doubt about the point to be discussed) ,

4) prayojana (a motive for discussing the point in question) ,

5) drstanta (citing instances or examples) ,

6) siddhanta (demonstrated conclusion of an argument) ,

7) avayava (component parts of a logical argument or syllogism) , 8) tarka (persuasive reasoning) ,

9) nirnaya (deduction, conclusion, or application of a conclusive argument) ,

10) vada (thesis, proposition, or argument) ,

11) jalpa (striking disputation or reply to defeat the argument of the opposition) ,

12) vitansa (destructive criticism; idle carping at the assertions of another without attempting to prove the opposite side of the question)

13) hetv-abhasa (fallacy; the mere appearance of a reason) ,

14) chala (deceitful disputation; perverting the sense of the opposing party’s words) ,

15) jati (logic based merely on false similarity or dissimilarity) , and

16) nigraha-sthana (a weak point in an argument or fault in a syllogism).

According to nyaya-darsana, misery is of nineteen types: the material body, the six senses including the mind, the six objects of the senses, and the six transformations - birth, growth, production, maintenance, dwindling, and death. In addition to these, happiness is considered as the twentieth form of misery because it is simply a transformed state of distress. The naiyayikas, adherents of the nyaya-darsana, accept four types of evidence: pratyaksa (direct perception) , anumana (inference) , upamana (comparison) , and sabda (the authority of the Vedas).

The nyaya-darsana accepts the existence of eternal infinitesimal particles known as paramanu. These, they claim, are the fundamental ingredients from which the creation has sprung. But in order for the creation to take place, there is need of an administrator who is known as Isvara, Sri Bhagavan. Bhagavan creates the world by setting the atomic particles in motion. Like these atomic particles, Isvara is eternal and without beginning. Although the naiyayikas accept the existence of Isvara, they do not believe that He personally carries out the creation. He is merely the primeval cause. By His desire, the atoms are set into motion whereupon they create all the subtle and gross elements from which the creation comes about. According to the nyaya-darsana, the jivas are innumerable, eternal, and without beginning. The naiyayikas do not think that the jivas are of the nature of consciousness, but that they are only substantive entities which may be associated with intellectual, volitional, or emotional qualities as a result of a proper combination of causes and conditions. The nyaya-darsana  advocates that the jiva and Isvara are two entirely separate truths. The jiva’s material existence is due to karma. The creation occurs under the influence of karma, and within the creation the jivas suffer the reactions of their karma. Isvara’s sole function is to set the creation in motion and to reward the results of karma.

The naiyayikas say that the jiva can attain liberation from material existence through philosophical knowledge of the sixteen principles. They define mukti as complete cessation of material misery. There is no factual happiness in mukti. In this liberated condition the jiva is as if unconscious.
