Dear Vasu,

 

The forum defines the frame of reference. For example, if I send a

paper for publication in a journal in my area, I cannot quote

Srimad Acharya, even though every sentence he uttered may deserve a

Ph.D. Similarly, if a forum is called Vishwa Madhwa Sangha, the name

implies that it is a collection of people who to this

philosophy (including the concept of MukhyaprANa). So, if anyone

wants to discuss something using a different set of rules and beliefs,

they should choose the correct forum to express their views. They

cannot expect the forum to adapt to their reference in a dynamic

fashion.

 

Does this make sense ? Will the journal that published the paper

that was discussed recently adapt itself to accept a paper based on my

beliefs as to what are the pramANas, as long as I state them up

front ?

 

Just a thought for you to ponder over.

 

Regards..

Mukund

Dear Fellow Madhva-listers,

 

Vasu Murthy wrote at length about several " frames of reference " for

discussions on this list. I will not append his message here in order to

keep this brief. The 3 frame he mentions are

 

>1. Madhva frame of reference:

>2. Philosphical frame of reference:

>3. Academic /historical frame of reference:

 

This seems to be a reasonable compromise and would make the list inclusive

of people with different perspectives. AS somebody else emnioned there is

always the " delete " command if one doesnt want to read postings from a given

" frame of reference "

 

Namaskar

Shri
