Yeas. This is very painful but true.  However just burying the unpleasantness will not help. Even if we bury it today it will be dug up tomorrow. The elders of the two mutts should sit down and sort out their differences sooner than later. The elders of the Kanchi mutt should also sit down separately with the elders of the Kumbhakonam mutt to sort out certain issues about their antiquity and they should not take it as prestige issue as the truth is at stake. So also the Sringeri mutt should stick to its original statement that Adi Sankaracharya was born on the 14th year of the reign of Vikramarka. To me that Vikramarka  cannot be the Vikramaditya-II of the Chalukya dynasty who reigned from 733 to 744 CE and new evidences are coming to show that he could have reigned even earlier. I think I should not talk much as it is better to leave it to the elders of the mutts to work out the things out  and my service is at their disposal whnever they want it.

As regard the Vyavaharika one cannot run away from the Vyavaharika world nor can ignore it by doing like the Ostrich does ie. which digs the head into the sand. The Vyavaharika world is the Karmabhoomi and even devas want to come to this Karmabhoomi. The Vyavaharika world appears as dream only to a Jivanmukta, for whom there is not any individual identity and there is only "Sarvam Khalvidam Brahma".  Adi Sankaracharya was a Jivanmukta and the Vyavaharika world did appear as dream world to him  but that cannot be said to happen to any  Tarun, Dinesh and Harish (I mean any Tom, Dick and Harry) just like that.

Why don't you tell us more about the details of observing the "rAja mudrA" of srImukha patra of the amnaya pitha ?

Regards,

Sunil K.Bhattacharjya

Namaste Krunal,

I have however never heard of
this Shankaracharya or peetham. Can someone please enlighten me.

Whether it is Sringeri or Kanchi, we have to salute both as both are patronizing
great upAsakAs and stallwarts in advaita vedAnta.  Both the mutts have 
brought forth great scholars of advaita in recent times.  
 
The most pitiest aspect among the advaitins is that they talk of "adhyAsa bhAshya",
"jagat mithyAvAda", "rajju-sarpa bhrAnti" etc., but "strongly cling" to "vyavahArika
satya" so much so that even dvaitins don't hanker after these.  
 
Last but not the least, observe carefully the "rAja mudrA" of srImukha patra of
the amnaya pithas.    
 
regs,
Sriram
