Guest guest Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Namaste, Many thanks for allowing me to join/rejoin this group for I have erred and been wandering amiably around Webspace for too long now. My good intentions to re-join were filed in the 'tomorrow' folder until I came across Sunder-ji's name at the head of an account of Iyer's film of Shankara's life. Having managed to purchase this DVD last year I celebrated my birthday by inviting some friends to an evening of Sanskrit movie viewing. Later I found an on-line resume of the film and it began by saying that Sunder-ji would be be helping with a new version of the review. I have never been able to find that up-date and wonder if it is in the Advaitin archives somewhere. I have had a quick look but cannot find it. Can someone advise please, Many thanks, Ken Knight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acharya's blessings are surely on you and your friends, and on us cyber-pilgrims for getting the news. The review was not by me, but by the blog-writer at: http://brahmanisone.blogspot.com/2006/01/adi-shankaracharya-movie-by-gviyer.html It was just over 3 yrs ago, and I don't recall the details. If I did contribute anything, it was to send the references and correct transliteration of the sanskrit words and verses that were quoted, and maybe some minor corrections of factual errors. That was all! I have not followed up on any revision. The review was done entirely by the writer, and Subbu-ji had given high praise for the essay. Welcome again, and hope to read more from you in the days ahead. Regards, Sunder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 praNAms Shri Sunder-ji, > The review was not by me, but by the blog-writer at: Thanks for the very gentle reminder. Your modesty truly humbles me! I have updated the post. http://brahmanisone.blogspot.com/2006/01/adi-shankaracharya-movie-by-gviyer.html As to why the blog-post was not updated for sometime has more to do with tAmasik svabhaava (which takes the form of an illusive nature of perfectness), than anything else. I would like to contribute this post for the advaitin file sections, if the moderators agree to it. In the process, I am also open to corrections to the review. praNAms to all advaitins, bhava Shankara deshika me sharaNam.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Namaste all,Many thanks to you all for your welcomes and for remembering past efforts to be of use, a usefulness made possible by the wonders of shruti.Thank you Ramakrishna for the updated file on Iyer's film of Adishankara's life. May I recommend this file and the DVD of the film to any members who have yet to see it.Incidentally, if there are any members of this group who live in England and Shropshire in particular, about twenty of us are going to gather in an old farmhouse for a couple of study days on the weekend of March 27th/28th. We will break the film down into five sections. Because the young Shankara goes to see a Kathakali performance of Naciketas we will study the Katha Upanishad to aid understanding of the whole film. We will also study Shankara's commentary on Brahma Sutra 2.1.14I hope the moderators do not mind my mentioning that. If anyone could and would like to join us the please contact me at the above address.Om sri ramKenRamakrishna Upadrasta <uramakrishnaadvaitin Sent: Wednesday, 4 March, 2009 1:11:36 PM Re: Iyer's Adi Shankara film http://brahmanisone .blogspot. com/2006/ 01/adi-shankarac harya-movie- by-gviyer. html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
