[Advaita-l] Inward and outward contemplation

[H S Chandramouli]

Pranams Sri Sadananda Ji,

I am sorry my understanding of Advaita Sidhanta as advanced by Sri
Bhagavatpada does not correspond to what you are emphasizing. To some
extent what you are emphasizing may follow in the vyavaharika plane. But
that does not constitute the Sidhanta.


Pranams and Regards
