Advaita Parampara

[Guest guest]

Hare Krishna,

 

I came across following verse on the net on guru-parampara in Advaita. But there

was no reference to it. Does anyone know its source? I am surprised to see that

Vyasadev and Sukadev Goswami are also included in this list. How can the

compiler (Vyasa) and the foremost expert (Suka) of Srimad Bhagavatam belong to

the Advaita School? Any comments?

Sounds very similar to Sri Vaishnava Guru Parampara Daniyan:

 

Lakshmi NAtha SamArambAm NAtha YAmuna MadhyamAm

asmad AchArya ParyanthAm Vande Guru ParamparAm

 

Dasa

Narasimhan

Here is an obvious case of a paramparA which does not exhibit

philosophical agreement from beginning to present day.

 

It is also noteable that despite all the controversy over gauDIya

paramparA link to madhva despite philosophical differences, the

Advaita tradition has not been embroiled in any similar controversy.

 

What this goes to show is that politics overrides principle. Many

will rail against gauDIyas for claiming paramparA from madhva, but

these same individuals will excuse shrI shankarAchArya's paramparA

claim despite the even greater disparity between his view and that of

his guru's guru's guru.

 

Anyway, getting back to the point - offhand I don't know the source

for it. I'm sure Vidyasankar Sundareshwaran of the Advaita web page

can furnish you with it if you email him (a link to his email address

should be available from that web page). He appears to be well read

in Advaita, and unlike Advaita's representation on this list, he

actually seems to know what he is talking about.
