[Advaita-l] My article for Shankara Jayanthi

[sreenivasa murthy]

 Dear Sri Nitin Sridhar,
You  write : " It  is  the  attainment  of  such  rare  and 
 most  precious  Moksha,  which  the  Acharya  puts 
 forth  as  the  phalashruti  of  this  text."Is  the word "attainment"  correct?  Where  can  one  
attain  such  rare and  most  precious Moksha?Has  Moksha  to  be  attained?
Is  this  what  Sri  Shankara  means  or  it it  what  you  mean?What  is  Moksha  in  Sri Shankara's  own  words?He  says : nityatvAt   mOkShasya  sAdhakasvarUpAvyatirekAcca ||Kindly note the word "sAdhakasvarUpAvyatirekAcca".What  does  it  mean?Does  it  mean  it  has  to  be  attained  newly?I  fear  your  statement  goes  against  the  above  teaching 
of  Sri  Shankara  very  much  and  is  misleading  the  readers. 
Moksha  is  prAptasya prAptiH.
With  respectful namaskars,
Sreenivasa Murthy

 Dear all,

Here is my article for Shankara Jayanthi-
http://www.indictoday.com/thoughts/the-garland-of-knowledge-a-glimpse-into-brahmajnanavalimala-of-adi-shankaracharya/

It is a short English commentary on the opening verse of the wonderful text
of Brahmajnanavalimala of Adi Shankaracharya.

Regards,
Nithin S
