Dear Vidyasankarji,
I admire your very critical look at things. From you mail it is clear that you are not convinced in Keshav kshmiri Bhattacharya being the 33rd Nimbarkacharya. I would have been happy if you would have told us as to what you think about the date of Suka, the guru of Gaudapadacharya. I am reminding you lest you have overlooked that
Regards,
Sunil KB

Dear
Vidyashankarji,
Like the Avogadro's Hypothesis in science, the
hypothesis that Adi Shankara wrote sixteen (16) bhashyas may
stand tall, particularly because the Brihat Shankara
Vijaya as well as the work of Shri Vidyaranya combined with
commentary on it says so, until someone gives another proven
figure to contest that.
Till I see credible reports of
actual manuscripts of this so called bRhacchankaravijaya
having been found, I'll be extremely skeptical, even
dismissive, of arbitrary claims conveniently attributed to
that text. Whatever flights of fancy you choose to believe
is your problem sir. Please do not expect everyone else to
subscribe to the same fancy!
Kindly permit me to say that I have no reason to believe
that there have been people all around, who have been
conspiring against the Sringeri
math.
This statement of yours is so
laughable as to not deserve any response, so I'm not
going to give you one. I just wonder how some generic doubt
about authorship of one or the other text becomes an issue
about the Sringeri lineage in your mind! There is no
connection at all that anybody else can see, but please,
have at it. I'm done, trying to respond sensibly to your
latest round of desperate attempts in this
misdirection.
Best
regards,Vidyasankar
