[Advaita-l] Structured approach in studying Advaita

[Venkata sriram P]

Dear Shyamji,
 
I beg to disagree with the statement below:
 
/////
 
If the goal is to become a teacher, or a well-versed scholar, or perhaps enjoy reading rare texts of Masters which have yet to be translated or even enjoy the beauty of the original prose - it is certainly useful, but if self-knowledge is the only goal for study - as it 
should be - I dont see any need whatsoever for a thorough study of Sanskrit
 
//
 
IMHO, the lack of sanskrit knowledge is always a handicap.  
 
regs,
sriram
