[Advaita-l] a mumukshu and a deluded at pralaya

[H S Chandramouli]

> Sri Subrahmanian Ji, in his audio clip, points out that Sri AD himself, in
>>> his later work NyAayarakshAmaNi, has  admitted to the possibility of
>>> the jIva, on Realization, attaining to the status of Brahman (Shudha
>>> Chaitanya as is termed here) , instead of Isvara as maintained by him (
>>> Sri AD) in SLS. He cites the instance of Vamadeva in this regard. He claims
>>> in this work that this does not in any way come in the way of his doctrine
>>> of Sarvamukti advanced by him in SLS.
>>>
>>> Curiously in SDS, Sri AD mentions that the status of jivas who attain
>>> the state of Isvara on Realization could well be like that of Sri Rama.
>>> While here in NyAyarakshAmaNi while maintaining that jivas can attain
>>> to the state of Brahman ( Shudha Chaitanya) he appears to have cited
>>> Vamadeva. I am not sure if Sri AD admits in this later work to the
>>> possibility of attaining to either Brahman (Shudha Chaitanya) or Isvara by
>>> the various jIvas attaining Knowledge. Only in that case the doctrine of
>>> Sarvamukti can still be maintained. Sri Subrahmanian Ji may like to
>>> confirm.
>>>
>>> I have not studied in any detail the works of Sri AD. I just wanted to
>>> point out a different view taken by advaitins on the issue. So any
