[Advaita-l] My article for Shankara Jayanthi

[sreenivasa murthy]

 Dear Sri Nitin Sridhar,
The  vyavahara  perspective  itself  is  avidya  perspective.To  talk  about  Moksha  from  the  vyavahara  perspectiveitself  is  not  correct.  Because  vyavahara  perspective reinforces  the  wrong  notion  that  one  is  an  entity.Have  you examined  the  notion  "we are in the world"is  correct  or  wrong? 
Are  YOU  in  the  world  or  the  world  is  within  YOU?
It  is  my  understanding  that  metaphysical  truth  has  to 
be  taught  from  the  standpoint  of  the 
Absolute. The sages have taught the paramArtha from the 
paramArtha  stand-point. 
To  know  paramArtha  is   to  be  paramArthaand  that  is  MOKSHA.Thus  taught  my  Revered  Guru.With respectful namaskars,Sreenivasa Murthy.
With respectful namaskars,

 Dear sir, 
You are correct that Moksha is not a state or a realm to be attained. But, it appears to be so so from a Vyavahara perspective. As long as we are in the world and are bound by ignorance, the state of Moksha appears like a goal (hence, considered Purushartha as well). I only mean in that sense.

 Dear Sri Nitin Sridhar,
You  write : " It  is  the  attainment  of  such  rare  and 
 most  precious  Moksha,  which  the  Acharya  puts 
 forth  as  the  phalashruti  of  this  text."Is  the word "attainment"  correct?  Where  can  one  
attain  such  rare and  most  precious Moksha?Has  Moksha  to  be  attained?
Is  this  what  Sri  Shankara  means  or  it it  what  you  mean?What  is  Moksha  in  Sri Shankara's  own  words?He  says : nityatvAt   mOkShasya  sAdhakasvarUpAvyatirekAcca ||Kindly note the word "sAdhakasvarUpAvyatirekAcca".What  does  it  mean?Does  it  mean  it  has  to  be  attained  newly?I  fear  your  statement  goes  against  the  above  teaching 
of  Sri  Shankara  very  much  and  is  misleading  the  readers. 
Moksha  is  prAptasya prAptiH.
With  respectful namaskars,
Sreenivasa Murthy

 Dear all,

Here is my article for Shankara Jayanthi-
http://www.indictoday.com/thoughts/the-garland-of-knowledge-a-glimpse-into-brahmajnanavalimala-of-adi-shankaracharya/

It is a short English commentary on the opening verse of the wonderful text
of Brahmajnanavalimala of Adi Shankaracharya.
