Mahavakyaratnavali

[Guest guest]

There is a reference to the authorship of Mahavakyaratnavali

in the Preface to Vicharasagara. The compiler was Sri Ramachandra

Sarasvati Svamin, paramaguru of Sri Vasudeva Brahmendra Sarasvati

Svamin.

 

Sri Vasudeva Brahmendra translated into Sanskrit the original

Hindi work Vicharasagara of Sadhu Nishchaladas, and added his own

bibliographic notations.

Dear Shri Sunder,

 

Thanks for the above information. Actually, I have a printed book of

mahAvAkyaratnAvaliH published very recently by a person in Chennai in which

it is said that these statements were collected by Srimad Paramahamsa

Ramachandra Yati, disciple of Paramahamsa Vasudevendra Sarasvati.

 

I have also a copy of Vichara sagara, the Skt translation of Nischala Dasa's

work in Hindi . It is in very easily understandable Sanskrit. As you have

stated, in this book it is said that the mahAvakyaratnAvali was collected by

Ramachanfdra Sarasvati the paramaguru of Swami Vasudevendra. From this it

appears that the Guru of Ramachandra Sarasvati was another Vasudevendra

Sarasvati.

Pranams Shastriji,

 

He was paramaguru of Sri Vasudeva Brahmendra, not of Sri

Vasudevendra.

Namaste Sunder-ji and SN Sastriji

 

I am a little confused here. Can you kindly see the sentences in the

following quotes from my father's work:

 

" My revered Guru was Vasudevananda, the disciple of Shri

Krishnananda.And this Paramaguuru of mine who was himself the

disciple of Ramachandrendra of the Upanishadbrahmendra Mutt, attained

Siddhi in Ganapati Agraharam. "

 

" Also it is said at the end of the 1008 mahAvAkAyaratnAvali that the

author prostrates to the Guru named Vasudevendra "

 

I would like these to be sorted out if possible. Probably there is no

contradiction. The relevant Sanskrit originals can be found on the

page

PraNAms to all advaitins.

Pranams Prof VK-ji,

 

Combining the information collected by the three of us, the

following is one possibility:

 

vAsudevendra ---->

 

shrIRamachandra ---->

 

shrIkRRiShNananda ---->

 

vAsudevAnanda = ? vAsudevendra = ? vAsudeva brahmendra
