Meanwhile, on the Tattvavadi e-mail

February/002583.html) list we have the following posting from one of

these open-minded Tattvavadis:

"it is important that Madhvas

come out with all the information they have on this

issue of Brahma Mohana so that this falsehood about

Madhva gets a response. It is something often

mentioned by gurus in ISKCON - portraying it as a

deficiency of Madhva's commentary that Gaudiyas later

filled in, since they were not as close-minded as

Madhva."
