[Advaita-l] vedic yajna

[Sunil Bhattacharjya]

Dear Venkateshji,

You said

> these things in a clear way without room for any ambiguity.  But I do The Nirnaya Sindhu author 

Kamalakara Bhatta read all the Vedas the Smrutis, the Puranas and more before writing in Kali Yuga 

Beef is Banned. He knew what you have written and more.  Do you think you are more knowledgeable 

than him? If yes how?

Unquote


It is not impossible that people more knowledgeable than Kamalakara Bhatta may be available today. 

Secondly, One must give the original reference in a debate. After all the Nirnayasindhu is a sort of 

compendium and it has only secondary authority. So one must cite the original reference to the vedic exts 

including the Smritis.

Regards,

Sunil KB

Smrutis, the Puranas and more before writing in Kali Yuga Beef is
Banned. He knew what you have written and more.  Do you think you are
more knowledgeable than him? If yes how?
