Guest guest Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Hari Om! I have heard the following said: - ZaGkara hardly ever mentions the term 'mAyA'. He speaks more about avidya. - 'MAyAvAdA' was initiated of sorts by Mandana Mishra, whose views were blended with ZaGkara's possibly by Vacaspati Mishra. - Vacaspati Mishra and Vidyaranya "made over" ZaGkara and his philosophy. The latter (Vidyaranya) made ZaGkara out to be a Saivite and attributed many Saivite ideas and texts to him. To what extent have Vacaspati Mishra and Vidyaranya "made over" the advaita-vAda of ZaGkara? Are any of these statements true? If not, could the correct understanding be given? Kind regards, D.
