[Advaita-l] Re: Advaita-l Digest, Vol 9, Issue 4

[Aravind Mohanram]

Dear SriKrishna,
 
Please show one proof, when I said that ISKCON's philosophy is paramount and Advaita philosophy is not correct and I'll be happy to stop. I have always said that "this is according to Vaishnavas" rather than giving any personal opinion. I'm only replying to the emails that are being addressed to me on the topic concerned. Otherwise, I have posted only one email on my own inquiring in a civilized way as to how one should approach Gita Bhasya which has actually led to some interesting discussions by learned members. On the other hand, different members on this forum have tried to attribute statements that I haven't really made. If the desire of members on this forum is purely to discourage/misrepresent people of different philosophical leaning from posting, why even keep this forum open to non-advatins.  And, why even give speculative answers to questions like what does Hare Krishna mean? my desire is only to learn the philosophy of advaita through a proper forum, but whenever 
 there is
 speculation by members on non-advaitin teachings, expect some fireworks, if you desire to keep the forum open to everyone. 
 
Thanks.
 
Aravind.

To a limited extent this discussion was OK. But, now
with this continuous refutation and persistance of Sri
Aravindan to insist that ISKCONs view of God and
liberation is the paramount, and Advata philosophy is
not correct, I feel irritated. Specially because he is
not a scholar of Advaita Vedanta texts. Probably,
there will be many more who feel the same way. 

When I feel I have no other way, I will learn all
those details from ISKCONs website. For now, can we
stop this ISKCON propaganda.

Om Namo Narayanaya !!
