[Advaita-l] World is mind alone: Shankara

[sreenivasa murthy]

Dear Friends,   Clarification for the following questions is requested :     (1) Does the mind exist prior to the appearance of the world?     (2) If the world is mind only , then why there is distinction and difference between mind 
          and matter which is perceptible?     (3) Do the mind and the world appear simulteneously?    ( 4) If the world is mind only then this doctrine comes under the category of IDEALISM, 
          is it not so?  I have a request :the replies should be facts which can be verified by all. PLEASE,NO QUOTATIONS FROM OLD TEXTS LIKE YOGAVASISHTA etc.  
 With respectful namaskars,Sreenivasa Murthy
