Both Sankara and Ramanuja are contemporaries and they believed in Non-Dualism, that is, the God and created world is one. 2. Sankara argued that the way forward to salvation was strengthened by knowledge. 3. Ramanuja argued that the grace of God is more important than the knowledge about him in order to attain salvation. 4. Sankara upheld the Vedas as the fountain-head of true knowledge and Ramanuja believed the path of Bhakti was open to all, irrespective of caste. Choose the correct answer:

Indian History

  1. A1, 2 and 3 only
  2. B2, 3 and 4 onlyCorrect
  3. C1, 3 and 4 only
  4. D1 and 2 only

Answer: B. 2, 3 and 4 only

Explanation

Statement 1 is wrong: Sankara (8th c.) and Ramanuja (11th–12th c.) were not contemporaries, and Ramanuja taught qualified non-dualism (Vishishtadvaita), not Sankara's Advaita. Statements 2, 3 and 4 correctly describe their teachings.
