Abstract
It is my opinion that the distinction between self and body, as set out in the vaisesika and mentioned in the Vedanta (Sourcebook, 1957, pp121-138, 386-423) , is an extremely cogent theory which seems to be able to reply to most objections raised to it. In this essay I will attempt to show how this theory works and any problems that are raised regarding it. I will also show the similarities and differences between the theory of self and body in the vaisesika and the bhagavad-gita, and show how the vaisesika seems to have the upper hand in the area of dispute between the two (Chakrabarti, 1999, chs 2-10).
