Response: I am not the right person to comment on this actually, but then there are some differing schools of Advaita, although they are mostly concurrent. To note, Sankara taught kevala advaita and Ajati vada. Bhamati and Vivarana schools for example advocate the srishti- drishti vada and another school advocates drishti-srishti vada as well. Then we have schools starting with Nisargadutta Mhj., Madhusudana Saraswati, J Krishnamurty etc. Dear yogendra bikkuji, J.Krishnamurthy's thoughts, although he is averse to compare his teachings with any existing world view, is in accord with the teachings of the Buddhas, but for K's sweeping denunciation of gurudom. Especially, K's talks on reincarnation are very similar to the thoughts of the Buddha that there is no entity moving from here to there, but only the constructions of memories, the conformations. I shall write on this in detail later. K does not to the atman theory of Sankara. Yours respectfully, Sankarraman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
