[Advaita-l] On anubhava as a pramANam

[Venkatraghavan S]

Namaste Raghav ji,
Yes. Go to Google and enter site:
https://lists.advaita-vedanta.org/archives/advaita-l/ followed by the
search string and Google will search that particular site - in this case,
the advaita l archives, for the search word(s).

Regards
Venkatraghavan
