If advaita stands, all other systems(including dvaita) fall

I enjoyed reading Sri Ananda Hudli's well presented article.  Reminded me
of the Dr. T.M. Mahadevan introductory notes on Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi's
Sat Darshan  - DR. Mahadevan says - advaita - nan-dualism;  the non -
referes to not only to duality but to -ism as well.

Hari Om!
