[Advaita-l] Questions on Mayavada by Krishna

[Sunil Bhattacharjya]

Dear Venkatesh,

Can I put it a bit differently. Without developing the Sattva guna it really not possible to appreciate Advaita properly. 

REgards,

Sunil K. Bhattacharjya.

Namaste Sri Jaldhar

You missed the point.  History cannot be changed . All people
misunderstand Advaita except the pure and intelligent. Without Citta
Suddhi it is impossible to understand Advaita. Without Samskaras and
Nitya Karma it is impossible to get Citta Suddhi.

Regards

-Venkatesh
