The web link did not work but I searched and got some info on the Bhamati. It is interesting that traditional 'samparadaya' do not seem to be aware of this possiblity. I remember a brief discussion with Swami Paramarthananda-ji (last time I visited Chennai)and the Swamiji referred to Bhamati and Vivarana schools and briefly explained their historical background. The impression I got was that both were valid schools of thought. regards Sundar Rajan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
