[Advaita-l] Shankara and Madhusudhana

[Bhaskar YR]

and sankara clearly prohibits this which is evident from
apaHShUdrAdhikaraNa.   And hence, a seemingly apavAda against Sankara. 

praNAms Sri Ram prabhuji

Yes, it is ONLY a 'seemingly' apavAda against shankara bhagavatpAda. 
Though shankara denied vedAdhikAra to stree, shUdra he never brahma 
vidya/Atma jnAna or mOksha to shUdra-s.  This clearly shows his 
magnanimity towards others. 

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
