Encylcopedi

[Guest guest]

I fully agree with Vasu and the plan sounds solid. VMS and the Madhwa

community at large will be greatful to Professor Hebbar, Professor

Zydenbos, Sri NAPS Rao and other volunteers to help set the record striaght

with EB and possibly other forums.

 

I will however communicate our efforts to Sri Puthige Swamiji as a way of

keeping him advised of our activities. I will do so after the Aradhane

function in Detroit.

 

Namaskara.

krishNabhaktas,

Several excellent points have been made several respondents on this

thread. I

agree with Dr. Zydenbos and sri NAPS Rao that we should not get emotional on

this.

I agree that these mistakes are probably as a result of ignorance and

laziness as

opposed some evil intention. As Dr. Zydenbos mentioned, this entry, even

though it

is important to us, is not one of the top concerns on their list. My guess

is

that

EB people will respond to a reasoned response that quotes other academic

studies

in this regard. So, what is the next step?

 

I request some volunteers to come forward and work with Dr. Hebbar and Dr.

Zydenbos to put together a reasoned response and a revised biographical note

on

madhva. I suggest that this work be done outside this list and the final

work be

shared in this forum. Please let me know (E-mail to vmurthy)

if

you

are interested and I will put you on a separate E-mail list intended for

this

kind

of work. VMS/CMS along with Dr. Hebbar and Dr.Zydenbos can send the response

to

EB. I request sri NAPS Rao that similar steps be taken on behalf of ABMM

and/or

with the association of estemeed Dvaita scholars like Dr. Pandurangi and

Dr.

BNK

Sharma in India.

 

Regards,

 

Vasu

Whosoever even atempts at meditation upon the feet of shri Hari, his entire

sin gets destroyed immediately and surely. The supreme state of final

emancipation will certainly come to him who meditates (upon the feet of

shri Hari).therefore why is that (worthy means) relinquished ?
