Namaste.

 

While respectfully acknowledging the great efforts of the Swamiji, SSS, in the

dissemination of Bhagavatpada Shankaracharya's bhAShya literature, it is

pertinent to note that the above claim has no truth in it. For, we have in the

following commentaries the proof of the 'adhyaropa apavAda nyAya' quoted by

Shankara in the Gita bhashya 13.13 having been noticed by several others much

before SSS:

 

1. Anandagiri in his gloss to the above bhashya says: mithyArUpamapi jneyavastu

jnAnopayogi ityatra vRddhasammatimAha: tathaa hi iti. (The sentence in the

Bhashya where this nyAya is quoted starts with these words: 'tathaa hi' = thus

indeed...

 

2. The commentary 'ChaturdharI' by NIlakanTha, who has commented on the

Mahabharatha, for the Gita verse 13.13 ends by quoting the above nyAya, by

virtually quoting Shankara's sentence therein: tathaa hi sampradAyavidAm

vachanam ADHYAAROPA APAVAADABHYAAM....

 

3. The GUDArthadeepika of Sri Madhusudana Saraswati too, for the verse 13.14 of

the Gita commences with quoting this nyaaya saying: ADHYAAROPA

APAVAADAABHYAAM....iti nyAyamanusRtya sarvaprapancha adhyArOpaNEna....

 

4. Sri Dhanapati Suri, the author of the authoritative gloss on the Bhashya,

'BhAshyOtkarSha deepikaa' for 13.13 says: taduktam sampradAyavidbhiH ADHYAAROPA

APAVAADABHYAAM....

 

 

Perhaps this is one of the numerous pitfalls when one ignores, rather neglects,

the time-honoured tradition of studying the Bhashya literature with the help of

the vyAkhyAna-s.

 

Sri Sanjiva Murthy says: //He (SSS) was initiated into Vedaanta by the then

pontiff of SRINGERI Sri Shivaabhinava Nrisimha Bharathi Swamiji, at Kaaladi //

 

Certainly, the Sringeri Swamiji and those who followed Him in the Peetha have

not taught that the Bhashyas are to be approached by setting aside the

vyAkhyAna-s.

Pranams,

 

I was told by one of the scholars of sringeri that Swamiji had certain *differences* with Shri Hangal Virupaksha Sastrigal.

While respectfully acknowledging the great efforts of the

Swamiji, SSS, in the dissemination of Bhagavatpada Shankaracharya's bhAShya

literature, it is pertinent to note that the above claim has no truth in

it. For, we have in the following commentaries the proof of the 'adhyaropa

apavAda nyAya' quoted by Shankara in the Gita bhashya 13.13 having been

noticed by several others much before SSS:

praNAms

Hare Krishna

It is really funny to see Sri Subbu prabhuji's

'serious' & picky comments on Sri Sanjeeva Murthy prabhuji's passing

remark on Sri SSS on the occassion of his guruji's birth day . I

was wondering why Sri Subbu prabhuji has not commented on the following

statement of Sri Sanjeeva Murthy prabhuji when he is so particular about

Sri SSS's achievement , :

//quote//

(a) who gave light to Shaankara bhaashya

//unquote//

Ofcourse, everybody knows that shankara bhAshya was not

in dark before Sri SSS focussing torch on it :-)) It is with the

guru bhakti, Sri Sanjeeva Murthy prabhuji praised Sri SSS contribution,

one should understand the context of this statement & realize that

it is not meant for childish pickings:-))

As regards to adhyArOpa apavAda, every traditional reader

of advaita saMpradAya would definitely know that there are plenty of commentaries

available on geeta in general & adhyarOpa apavAda in particular prior

to Sri SSS emphasization on this prakriya. But AFAIK, Sri SSS is

the first person to recognize the wide scope of this prakriya & explained

each & every prakriya (methodology) in advaita like kArya-kAraNa, avasthAtraya,

pancha kOsha, vidyAvidyA etc. under the light of this principal prakriya.

Ofcourse, this does not mean that vyakhyAnakAra-s neglected this

prakriya in their works. Sri SSS himself wholeheartedly acknowledges

vyAkhyAnakAra-s contributions to advaita saMpradAya in his own works.

IMHO, Sri Subbu prabhuji, could have given a second thought before hastening

his comments on Sri SSS.

Sorry, if I hurt my beloved Sri Subbu prabhuji's feelings

here.

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!

bhaskar

PS : I'll not be in station for the next 4-5 days

as I am going to Guruvaayur as a Ritvik to attend rudra hOma & chandi

hOma...I shall reply to Sri Subbu prabhuji's mail on vidyA & mAya after

coming back.
