[Advaita-l] sarvAtma bhAva as explained by Bhagavatpada

[Venkata sriram P]

Namaste,

///

the word ब्रह्म in the quoted अनुवाक means हिरण्यगर्भ though, since the context is उपासन। Moreover, the attainment of सर्वात्मभाव here is after death.

///

Yes. It is sagunOpAsana.  Jivanmukti is just one step ahead. 

//
Bhashyakara mentions Sushumna in his commentary under Katha 2.3.16 also.
//

Yes. I have seen this commentary.  This shows that the presence of "kuNDalini vidya"
is mentioned in shrutis also in contrary to some who argue that it is purely tantric and
doesn't find it's presence in vedas.

regs,
sriram
