[Advaita-l] Fw: [USBrahmins] Re: Fw: [hc] Reinterpreting Dwaita versus Adwaita by sanjay rao

[Sunil Bhattacharjya]

Namaste,

When one says that there have been many dvaitins and visistadvaitins, who spoke insultingly about Adi Sankaracharya one can see that there will be many others to point out promptly that there were some such insulting words coming from some of the advaitins too. But when one looks carefully at this chronologically one can clearly see that the insults originated from the dvaitins and the Visistadvaitins. Some of the advaitins only paid back to the dvaitins and the visistadvaitins in their own (dvatin's and visistadvaitin's) coins.

Regards,
Sunil KB

In the KathopanishadbhAShyam 1.2.9 Shankara says:

...तार्किको हि अनागमज्ञः स्वबुद्धिपरिकल्पितं यत्किञ्चिदेव कथयति ....

and yet when it comes to the 'person' Shankara says:

*तथाचार्यप्रणीतं* न्यायोपबृंहितं सूत्रम् -
’दुःखजन्मप्रवृत्तिदोषमिथ्याज्ञानानाम् उत्तरोत्तरापाये तदनन्तरापायादपवर्गः’
(न्यायसूत्रम् १.१.२)

The taarkika is refuted mercilessly by calling him 'ardha vainAshika',
etc., but when the propounder of the nyAya shAstram, Akṣapāda Gautama, is
referred utmost respect is shown.

Here is a worldly-wise verse:
श्लोकोऽयं चाणक्यनीतिदर्पणे सप्तदशाध्याये दृश्यते--

कृते प्रतिकृतिं कुर्याद्धिंसने प्रतिहिंसनम्। तत्र दोषो न पतति दुष्टे दुष्टं
समाचरेत्।। २

एतस्यैव श्लोकस्य पाठान्तरमपि कुत्रचिद्दृश्यते--

कृते प्रतिकृतिं कुर्याद्धिंसने प्रतिहिंसनम्। तत्र दोषं न पश्यामि शठे शाठ्यं
समाचरेत्।। इति।

You can see Appayya DikShitar writing a book '*मध्वतन्त्र*मुखमर्दनम्’ and
also referring to  Madhvacharya with utmost respect:

'चतुर्मतसारसङ्ग्रहः’:

*आनन्दतीर्थमुनि*लक्षणदेशिकेन्द्रश्रीकण्ठयोगिपदवीरदवीयसीर्नः ।
आचार्यपादसरणिञ्च विविच्य बोद्धुं संगृह्यते मतचतुष्टयसारलेशम् ॥

He has shown in this work how all the other schools - Dvaita,
vishishtadvaita and the SrikanTha school are steps to attain Advaita.
