[INDOLOGY] A study of "vijñāna"

[alakendu Das]

In Hindu Philosophy, Vignana is special knowledge.... to know something in
it's proper perspective.
In Buddhist Philosophy, Vignana is one of the 5 Skandhas , the other 4
being Rupa, Samskara, Vedana and Sangya.
Vigyana , Manas( i. e. Mind) and Chitta( Mind -Stuff) are synonymous terms .
Regards.
Alakendu Das.
