[Advaita-l] Brahmins and Vaishnavas

[Venkatesh Murthy]

Namaste Sri Bhaskar

Request you explain Adi Sankara Sutra bhashya on 3.4 20 portion on
Brahmasamstha.

Many people purposely twist the meaning of Geeta chapter 9 verse
32.Read carefully all slokas 30, 31, 32  33 then tell me.

Regards

-Venkatesh
