Dear Krishna,

 

As it is there is no problem with the above. Please

visit the following site and read the instructions.

 

http://www.ahobilamutt.org/netrules.html

 

The relevant portion is given below:

 

#6: Expositions of philosophical systems other than

Sri Sampradayam must be avoided except when quoted

as " poorvapaksha " that is then rebutted.

Srimate Sri Laksminrisimha Divya Paduka Sevaka

Srivan Satakopa Sri Narayana Yatindra Mahadesikaya Nama:

Srivanshatagopa sri Vedanta desika yatindra maha desikaya namaha.

I think it would be better to clarify rule 7, since our own granthas of sri

Ramanuja / sri Vedanta Desika / Uttamur viraraghavacharya etc. significant

description of purvapaksham of advaita / dvaita / baudhha / samkhya /

pasupata / shakta / nyaya vaisesika / pathanjala yoga / mimamsakas etc. When

explaining purvapakshas, it may be necessary to explain statements quoted by

Sri Ramanuja - like " anadi mayaya suptho yada jeevo prabudhyate ... (which

states " when jeeva who is in samsara from time immemorial... wakes up to

divine knowledge " - which is actually from " Gaudapada Karika " of Gaudapada,

one of the prior acharyas of Sri Samkaracharya. Explanation of purvapaksha

doctrines may be needed for people to understand our position clearly. This

is the whole basis of all polemic works of Sri Desika - like shatadushani

etc.

Adiyen requests the committee to clarify this issue since, adiyen has a

tendency to check out " other sampradaya " texts in great detail so as to

really experience the " exemplary inimitable " acumen of our acharyas who have

studied and over powered really powerful and brilliant arguments posed by

stalwarts of other sampradayas (not just good for nothing nincompoops!). In

fact, in the whole of bhagavadgita lectures, such a style of treatment is

used by adiyen. In fact, my reverence to our sampradaya has grown tenfold

since I " impartially " checked out granthas of other systems. ( I haven't

done all of it but some of it). I think such a treatment is needed by

atleast some types of disobedient people ( like adiyen) who do not obey

elders just taking their word for it.

However, I really appreciate the feelings of others who may think that this

(consideration of other sampradaya texts) is a totally unnecessary confusing

deviation taken by confused individuals (like adiyen). Adiyen fully agrees

with the committee that in a kalakshepam style consideration of granthas of

other sampradayas is more welcome than on the internet which could cause

confusion.
