No subject

activities??!! I hope no tradtionalist would accept it!!! Now prabhuji, you
tell me, why dont you believe prompt & open appreciation of HH Sri abhivana
vidyAtIrtha mahAsvAminaH on Sri SSS?? & why dont you allow us (Sri SSS's
followers) to raise our  voice against something which we think goes
against mUla bhAshya of shankara??

While on the subject, it may be also appropriate to recall that Sri
Chandrashekharendra Saraswati mahAswAminaH, then pontiff of kaNchi kAmakOti
peeTham marvelled by astonishing philoshical acumen of Sri SSS, called him
*puruSha saraswati* & openly appealed that every possible help should be
given to propagate Sri SSS's views on shankara vEdAnta.

AH prabhuji :

Again as I said earlier (I have to keep repeating old arguments), there are

bound to be differences in approach among the galaxy of AchAryas of
Shankara's sampradAya. But these differences are not so great as to cause
an
erosion of Shankara's core teachings. This is the point. And if you say
that
there should never have been even those peripheral differences, you are
asking for the impossible from a rich tradition that extends over 1200
years. As I said earlier, Shankara would have employed parrots to memorize
his bhAShyas and had the parrots transmit them verbatim down the
generations, if he wanted, but he chose to have human disciples like
PadmapAda, Sureshvara, and others who used their own original methods to
further explain what Shankara taught.

bhaskar :

I've already shared Sri SSS's view points with regard to his insistence of
*going back* to shankara vEdAnta...If the later vyAkhyAnakAra-s are not
like parrots & if they adopted their unique method of approaching non-dual
philosophy of scripture ...so be it..we dont have any issue with it...but
for god's sake let them not announce that they are indeed teaching *actual*
views of shankara!!! From the strict *tattva jignAsu* view point, if
anybody observes these two vyAkhyAna-s (bhAmati & vivaraNa), their
methodologies or theories are drastically parting away from each other in
different directions.  This is what opinioned by Sri SSS.  So considering
this sad scenario, Sri SSS appeals that the tattva pariSOdhaka-s/ tattva
jignAsu-s should realize that at the best the vyAkhyAna-s are ONLY
instruments or means to help us to reckon the true meaning of the mUla
bhAshya of shankara bhagavadpAda and NOT that they are in themselves,
INDEPENDENTLY AN AUTHORITATIVE MEANS to non-dual philosophy. Sri SSS humbly
plead the discriminative readers to be objective & without giving any scope
whatsoever for attachment or hatred to any particular cult with biased mind
set, they should dedicate all their time and efforts in realizing the
reality of self according to the siddhAnta enshrined in the shuddha
shankara prakriya.

That's it from my side prabhuji...

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
