Dear Hupa Ram-Das-ji,

 

 

 

I think it is more charitable to say that Shankara is superstitious

than to say that he was against superstition but was so weak that he

had to pay lipservice to it anyway. In any case, how exactly are we

going to maintain that Vedanta is less superstitious than the Yellama

cult?

 

Namaste,

 

In the first place I'm not sure we have all the teachings of Sankara proved.

Much of what he said has probably been expurgated by the followers of caste and

rite etc. If he was superstitious, and I was giving the benefit of the doubt,

then he wasn't who people said he was. He may be just another myth, we aren't

not even sure when he was born.

As Vedanta is taught at present it still seem to preserve some superstitions, as

a sop to those whose minds are steeped and programed.

Some may call it devout I would say it is deluded. Piety is just a fixation and

programing on a certain view that's all..............Hu.
