[Advaita-l] My article for Shankara Jayanthi

[KAMESWARARAO MULA]

Dear Sir,                First I haven't even looked into  your question. My sincere advise is to please read the following links and still if doubt exists, I can clarify.
"I am a disciple of SO and SO and he is disciple of SO and SO and he is disciple of SO and SO'"Today most of the people which we see are wasting their life times and falling into the traps of the material world by taking the above concept. This was objected and raised by  Master sivananda whose writings are inthis linkkindly go through it.

Any person not belonging to a Sampradaya is condemned by Adi Sankara:This was in those times. People are taking this only by leaving the entire essence of Jnana. Who ever sadhaka, he will do his guruvandanam and then you will come to know which sampradaya he belongs. if somebody tells, its ok but I strongly condemn in taking the name of the guru, sampraday in public forums for the advertizement sake.

If you don't tell the name of the Guru how will others know your Parampara? AT least tell the Parampara like 'I am a disciple of SO and SO and he is disciple of SO and SO and he is disciple of SO and SO'. Any person not belonging to a Sampradaya is condemned by Adi Sankara. Guru Parampara is important.

Dear Sir,                Sastra Prohibits in taking the name of the guru. We have to analyze or interpret whether he is talking or sharing the correct knowledge or not. if guru wants he can take his disciple name once or twice in vyaharika purpose if he wishes to do but not the otherway.
Swamy Yukteswar always insisted many people in not taking the names of any body more than twice while discussing the knowledge. 
 
One of the major disadvantage in taking the name is that it creates un-necessary havoc among the disciples  and ultimately it ends in making a forum with some money with out serving the actual objective of the relationship.

I can explain and make convince anybody why we should not take the name of the guru.

 Namaste Sri Sreenivasa Murthy Mahodaya

You have kept on saying your Revered Guru taught you. Kindly tell us who is
your Guru? What is his name? Where did he live and what is his life history?
