[Advaita-l] मायामात्रमिदं द्वैतमद्वैतं परमार्थत: Debate on Gaudapada Karika

[Venkatesh Murthy]

Namaste Sri Praveen Mahodaya

>> Summary - Dvaitis have taken Gaudapada Karika saying प्रपञ्चो यदि

>> Bhedas are Jeeva - Jeeva Bheda, Jeeva - Jada Bheda, Jada - Jada Bheda,
>> Jeeva - Paramatma Bheda and Jada - Paramatma Bheda.  Therefore the
