Namaste

The Advaitis are saying Raghavendra Swamigalu never realized he is Nirguna
Brahman like Adi Sankara. Therefore he did not know N Brahman. 'know' means
he never realized. That is all. Like a prince brought up by hunters thinks
he is a hunter. But one day a Apta Purusha tells him he is not a hunter but
a prince and he may realize he is not a hunter but a prince. The 'One day'
never came for Sri Swamigalu. Will it come in the next 300 years? Who knows?
