Dear SrI Srinath Chakravarty,

 

You have written:

Your answer to my question is appreciable. This itself eliminates

the Advaitins etc from the class Vedantin and Vaideeka.

 

Refer: Rahu MimAmsaka and Kabanda MimAmsaka comparision in Paramatha

Bhangam & AnapAya-praBha. Also refer the pAsuram

VedangaL mowli vyAsan viritha nannUl

pAdangal padinAril Isan padi maraiththu

bhEdangal illai endru Orbiramap pichchu eiyambum

bhOdankazhindavanai BUDHDAR MAATTUDAN PUTTUVAME

(Prachchanna bowdhda bhangAdhikAram)

(Please note that the above Tamil-transliteration may have spelling

mistakes)

That is fine. Any way I did not ask you to quote from SankarabhAshya

but only from BAdarAyaNa's Brahma SUtra. I stress that it is not

possible because it is imposible to find Advaita philosophy in

prastAna-trayam (VedAntha-GIta-Brahma sUtra). prastAna-trayam

talks only VisishtAdvaita SrI VaishNavam - The parama-vaidika-matham.

 

You have written:

This point is wonderful. I appreciate it very much.

This divine kanikaryam is in progress. SrImath Anand K Karalapakkam

is doing this noble service.

That is fine. I put an end our discussion regarding this topic with

you.

 

Thanks & Regards
