Welcome

[Guest guest]

I would like to welcome Sri. Vidyasankar to

our group. Based on the articles I have read

by him elsewhere, I think the level of scholarship

of this group has taken a quantum jump up with

his inclusion.

 

He may not know it, but Sri Vidyasankar is partly

responsible for the formation of this group. Almost

two years ago there was a discussion about "tat thvam

asi," under the subject header aprudhak Siddhi, I

think. In this context, a few learned individuals

of Sri Vaishnava persuasion, like Sri. Krishna Prasad,

Sri. Sudharsana Iyengar, and Sri. Mani, exchanged

e-mails. To continue such discussions and to

extend the scope, Mani established this group while

he was at Stanford.

 

I am glad that Sri. Vidyasankar is now a part

of this group. I do hope he will present the

advaithic POV as and when he feels appropriate,

hopefully often, for our edification. Let me

also express my hope that there is no aversion

for controversy among us, but aversion only for

incivility.

p.s. The "aprudhak siddhi" e-mail exchanges

must be available in the bhakthi archives, right Mani?
