Dear VRP ,

(fellow Madhvas - also Dear - please bear with the verbiage) I was

not going to add to this ludicrous issue but since VRP finds my language

" quite inappropriate ...etc " I have no other choice but to respond. I do

think it is utter nonsense to say that calif. is Kapil. If our Acharyas had

decided philosophical issues on such flimsy basis our systems would be

laughable indeed. When one begins the study of our systems and i include here

adviata,nyaya-vaiseshikha,samkhya...etc one is deeply and profoundly impressed

by the intellectual rigour and insight of our philosophers.

 

I have already posted on the origin of the name " california " and as far as i am

concerned, that is enough adhikara. Besides any statement (philosophical,

scientific...) has to stand on its own merits. The age of the person making

the statement is irrelevant. Even Kalidasa (i certainly dont claim to be in

his league) had to protest - " purAnamitEya na sAdhu sarvam ... "

 

I fail to see where disrespect to the Acharyas comes here. I will not post

any more on this topic which is still think is presposterously absurd. However

the capacity of such claims (calif. -> Kapil.) to do harm cannot be

underestimated.

regards,

Shri kanekal
