A Special Reminder from List Moderators

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

Members are reminded that the list policies and guidelines do not

permit any member to make any derogatory remarks on saints / sages /

teachers, and also on any religion.

 

It is against the very spirit of Sanatana Dharma.

 

We request members to focus their discussions on the subject matter

and avoid making remarks on the personality of the poster.

 

Posting in this list is a privilege and we are all expected to be

responsible and be considerate to our fellow members.

 

Plenty of kind and compassionate words are readily available and they

can be used to express our disagreements and we should take steps to

avoid words with high potentials for offending others.

 

Warmest regards,

 

List Moderators

To understand the misnomer of `Shankara Sampradya', please study

carefully, Kanchi Paramacharya's replies to Prof. Nakamura's

questions:

vedanta.org/series/shankara_sampradaya/sankara_sampradayam_top.htm

 

"....Therefore, NO NEW SAMPRADHAYA SUCH AS 'SHANKARA SAMPRADHAYA' HAS

EVER GOT CREATED. WHEN THE ORIGINAL SMARTHA SAMPRADHAYAM OR THE VEDIC

PATH BECAME DILAPIDATED IN BETWEEN, IT GOT REJUVENATED AND BROUGHT TO

LIFE BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE BY SHANKARA. Therefore, if any one

refers to it as 'Shankara sampradhAya', then it is wrong; even if I

had referred to it that way, then also it is wrong......"

I'm glad we don't discuss crusades or jihad on this list, because I

would have no choice but to violate the rules.

 

Hari Om!
