Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 I too may respond to Srikanth. At the risk of over-simplifying, draw a large circle on a piece of paper. Inside the circle draw numerous very small circles. Now draw large circle again. Let the little ones be drawn outside but clustered around the big circle. The first stands for Sri Ramanuja's philosophy of the organic unity of God and the souls. The second stands for Madhavacarya's insistence that the souls and God are (eternally) separate. Erase all the little circles and leave one big one: Sankara's Advaita. Erase even the big circle: Gaudapada's view. Yogeshananda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
