[Advaita-l] aquestions on Mayavada

[Ramamurthy Venkateswaran]

Pranams
 
I have been reading the correspondence/postings on Mahayana Buddhism.  As far I know there is a scholar who is well versed in Sanskrit and Prakriti, a language/dialect which I understand Gauthama Buddha delivered his sermons during his time.  Dr. C. Upendra Rao, could be a scholar to give some insight into this.  He has been helping a few western universities in coordinating projects (translating Buddhist literature).  He has delivered lectures extensively in India and abroad and his contact address is:
 
Dr. C. Upendra Rao
Special Centre for Sanskrit Studies
Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi-110067
Phone: 91-11-26704130
Mobile: 09818969756
email ID: 
 
Incidentally I retired from JAWAHARLAL NEHRU UNIVERSITY, New Delhi a year ago and I am aware of his scholarship.
 
With profound regards to fellow advaitings and others in the stream.
 
Sincerely yours,
