[Advaita-l] Avachheda Vaada

[S Venkatraman]

Jaldharji,
Thank you very much for your lucid explanation of the avaccheda vada. The way you have explained the theory seems irrefutable. Yet you say some Advaitin’s don’t agree with it. Could you please let us also know the grounds on which they do not accept it?

Many thanks and pranams,
Venkat

In the mean time, I recommend searching google but adding site:lists.advaita-vedanta.org to the search term.
