"STRING THEORY" is loosely based on madhvacharya's theory of Dvaita or Dualistic philosophy (known severally as Bheda-vāda, Tattva-vāda, and Bimba-pratibimba-vāda), asserts that the difference between the individual soul or jīva, and God, (Īshvara or Vishnu), is eternal and real. Actually, this is just one of the five differences that are so stated -- all five differences that constitute the universe are eternal.
The five are given by:
jiiveshvara bheda chaiva jadeshvara bheda tatha |
jiiva-bhedo mithashchaiva jaDa-jiiva-bheda tatha |
mithashcha jada-bhedo.ayam prapajncho bheda-panchakaH ||
- paramashruti
"The difference between the jīva (soul) and Īshvara (Creator), and the difference between jaDa (insentient) and Īshvara; and the difference between various jīvas, and the difference between jaDa and jīva; and the difference between various jaDas, these five differences make up the universe."
From the Paramopanishad a.k.a. Parama-shruti, as quoted by Ananda Tīrtha in his 'VishNu-tattva-vinirNaya'.
For those interested in this philosophy ->
madhvacharya's movie:
This movie is part of the triolgy of G.V.Iyer. His other works include 'Adi Sankaracharya' and 'Ramanujacharya'. This low budget movie has been completed with good historic accuracies of the date and time. In fact it looks like a documentary of sort. To understand the theme however, a deeper knowledge of the Indian philosophy is needed. As such this movie is made on one of the three greatest saints and philosophers of India in the past 2000 years! To put it in a nut shell, Madhvacharya was a saint around the time 11-12 century approximately who preached the 'Dwaitha' (Two) concept. It meant that Human soul and GOD are not the same. This philosophy contradicted that of Shankara (900-1000 AD) who advocated the 'Aadwaitha' (One or not two), which says that Human soul and God are one and the same.
The movie has been shot realistically, like the 12 century India and has only one song 'Vandevandyam'. This songs is the masterpiece of the saint which gives you a spiritual 'Kick'.
