Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 Advaita Acarya is isvara, He's incarnation of Maha-Visnu. Sometimes Advaita Acarya is called Sadasiva avatara. The Sadasiva is also expansion of Maha-Visnu. So either way you say, incarnation of Sadasiva or Maha-Visnu, it doesn't matter. But Advaita Acarya is isvara-tattva. >>> Ref. VedaBase => Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Adi-lila 1.12 -- Mayapur, April 5, 1975 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly we have acknowledged a certain degree of non- difference. The issue is whether or not there are any differences at all. If there is even one difference, then Sadaashiva is not the same entity as Mahaa-Vishnu. If there are absolutely no differences, then they are the same, and one should be able to get liberation by worship of Sadaashiva. Our aachaaryas do not accept that Sadaashiva can independently give liberation. Nor is Sadaashiva exactly same as Mahaa-Vishnu. The milk- yogurt analogy is told in regards to Sadaashiva. Yogurt is similar to milk, but yogurt is not milk. -K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
