[Advaita-l] Mayavada Darpanam

[Sivakumar,Kollam]

Dear Sir,
" Kristhu Madha Kandanam (condemnation of christianity) by saivAcharya is
the only quality critique I have seen by a traditional mutt. It stopped
conversions in Kerala."
Plese provide more details about this work and the availability of it.
Thanks
