Fort (2006), VijñÄnabhiká¹£u on Two Forms of "SamÄdhi", International Journal of Hindu Studies, Vol. 10, No. 3 (Dec., 2006), pages 271-294 known for his commentary on various schools of Hindu philosophy, particularly the Yoga text of Patanjali.T. S.

Philosophy
Vijnanabhiksu wrote commentaries in the 15th century on three different schools of Indian philosophy: VedÄnta, SÄá¹khya, and Yoga. He integrated them into a nondualism platform that belongs to both the Bhedabheda and Advaita (nondualism) sub-schools of Vedanta.{{harvnb|Nicholson | 2007}}JOURNAL, Borelli, John, Vijnanabhiksu and the Re-Assertion of Difference-in-Identity Vedanta, Philosophy East and West, 28, 4, 1978, 425â437, 10.2307/1398647, 1398647, According to Andrew Nicholson, this became the basis of Neo-Vedanta.{{sfn|Nicholson|2010}} His integration is known as Avibhaga Advaita ("indistinguishable non-dualism"). His sub-commentary on the Yoga Sutras, the Yogavarttika, has been an influential work.BOOK, Jeaneane D. Fowler, Perspectives of Reality: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Hinduism,weblink 2002, Sussex Academic Press, 978-1-898723-93-6, 202, According to Andrew Fort, Vijnanabhiksu's commentary is Yogic Advaita, since his commentary is suffused with Advaita-influenced Samkhya-Yoga. Vijnanabhiksu discusses, adds Fort, a spiritually liberated person as a yogic jivanmukta''.BOOK, Edwin Francis Bryant, Patañjali, The Yoga sÅ«tras of Patañjali: a new edition, translation, and commentary with insights from the traditional commentators,weblink registration, 2009, North Point Press, 978-0-86547-736-0, 190, 239, BOOK, Andrew O.

Nicholson mentions Vijnanabhiksu as a prime influence on 19th century Indology and the formation of Neo-Vedanta.{{sfn|Nicholson|2010}} According to Nicholson, already between the twelfth and the sixteenth century,}}The tendency of "a blurring of philosophical distinctions" has also been noted by Mikel Burley.{{sfn|Burley|2007|p=34}} Lorenzen locates the origins of a distinct Hindu identity in the interaction between Muslims and Hindus,{{sfn|Lorenzen|2006|p=24-33}} and a process of "mutual self-definition with a contrasting Muslim other",{{sfn|Lorenzen|2006|p=27}} which started well before 1800.{{sfn|Lorenzen|2006|p=26-27}} Both the Indian and the European thinkers who developed the term "Hinduism" in the 19th century were influenced by these philosophers.{{sfn|Nicholson|2010|p=2}}Works
Little good work has been written in English on VijñÄnabhiká¹£u, and most of the texts in his large corpus have yet to be edited and published in Sanskrit, let alone translated into English.{{citation needed|date=August 2016}}Major works
